The First Lady has excited the fashion world, but like Diana she would rather champion the less fortunate than be a mere clotheshorse.
Michelle Obama’s flair for fashion has captivated Washington and set the hearts of glossy magazine editors aflutter. She has already eclipsed Carla Bruni, the super-model chanteuse and wife of Nicolas Sarkozy, the hyperactive French president. Not since Diana, Princess of Wales, has there been such a glamorous role model at the apex of society.
In her white, one-shouldered chiffon gown, she boogied to Stevie Wonder’s Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours and slow-danced with her husband at a succession of inaugural balls. Barack Obama held her lovingly around the waist, clasping two fingers around her back, and nuzzled her. Women’s Wear Daily, the influential American fashion magazine, said her ball gown made the Obamas look like newlyweds.
By the time they reached the last ball in the marbled hall of Union Station after midnight, “Michelle looked absolutely exhausted but still managed to keep smiling. It was quite an intimate dance – they were either collapsed in each other’s arms or feeling very close to each other,” said another dancer.
Michelle, 45, has a theatrical sense of style, from off-the-rack colourful clothes from J Crew at less than $100 a throw, to pricey designer outfits such as the sparkling lemongrass matching dress and coat that she wore to the inauguration ceremony. But she is determined to carve out a role at the White House that is more than national clothes horse.

I’ll have whatever the writer of this tripe is having.

Not really. Only a couple of years after she got her license she voluntarily gave it up by court order. Obama gave his up also. Very strange.
Yes, I was thinking my kids would be popular pretty quick if they invited some friends over for a scavenger hunt that ended up “chilling with the Jonas Brothers”.
But then I thought, “Geez how much would that cost and wouldn't people start thinking my kids were spoiled and wouldn't my kids start acting entitled to everything and.......”
Is Sarah Baxter playing with us? Does Serena Williams remind her of Peggy Fleming perchance?
LOL! I’m in! (Best post of the day.)
Comparing Michelle-mabelle to Diana? Only if Diana was a bitter shrew.
America’s Aunt Esther from Sanford & Son is more like it.
She is more reminiscent of Camilla Parker Bowles.
Michelle was quite irate over Mattel making Sasha and Malia dolls.
I would think she would be happy to have them for role models for young black girls.

The only way this article makes sense is if Sarah is some bizarre lesbian who wants to sleep with Michelle.
I've heard of cows caught in bogs. But I think you mean boogie.
She is actually quite beastly; arms past her knees, bad bite, angry face, no shape, hunched over b/c she is taller than Hussein.
It will be like the media trying (desperately) to push Serena and Venus Williams as sex pots. I believe one of them was chosen ‘sexiest athlete alive’ one year. Of course, they are nice women but tough on the eyes. That embarassment is over; it die of its own incongruity for Blackie O too.
“Michelle, 45, has a theatrical sense of style,”
Her debut as first lady included playing a matronly frump and a Grecian toga mama.
