So a little detour from talking about natural hair to give Michelle Obama some shine 🙂 She’s covering the October 2011 issue of Essence Magazine looking absolutely beautiful. The cover inspired us to compile some of our favorite looks on Michelle Obama. Check it out:

These pics make me to happy. Seeing our wonderful First Lady onpeing up the White House to the people.’ it’s that part that makes the Villager’ mad don’t they know that it should be THEIR children at the White House today?
that final dress with the gloves is just stunning! So elegant. And Mr. O next to her in tails. They look like royalty!
The last white gown is absolutely stunning…I think I may steal that type of dress when I get married one day, it’s just so beautiful!
I wish she would stop straightening her hair.
i love the colors on this cover. it feels fresh and different. another michelle o fan here!!
This would be a gorgeous neckline for a wedding dress with a fit and flare design and a low cut back!!!!
I’m actually not a fan of this cover photo, but Mrs. O is just FAB-U-LOUS!!! I honestly can’t decide which of the Obama power couple I love more — I guess it’s like having kids, I love them both equally and differently. As for Michelle, she is just an amazing woman. She runs her home, is comfortable in her own skin, and sets a great example for what it means to be a 21st century American women (let alone a black woman). The Obamas have re-written the script for what it means to be the First Family, and there will be no imitators or duplicators!
I can’t help but admire our intelligent, elegant, and beautiful First Lady! She is such an inspiration is so many ways for us: as an individual, wife, mother, and more.
loooove her! she’s one of my style icons for sure!
I still tear up when I think about what an accomplished, beautiful and mystifying First Lady we are fortunate to have – I am grateful, thank you Essence (tk goodness for Constance White taking over as editor as well, lol!).
She looks AMAZING in every dress. So elegant.
Love the arms — she’s so graceful and beautiful. Very proud of her.
In the next edition of Webster’s dictionary, or any other dictionary for that matter, when they go to define “elegance”, they need to put a picture of First Lady Obama as the illustration. Few other women I’ve seen in pictures lately embody it the way she does.
Dear Mrs Michelle,
I think you are wonderful. Always graceful, always articulate, always on point. and when i’m older i want to be just like you. In fact i don’t think i can wait that long…

Her skin is like butter. I wanna know what she’s using cause that ain’t regular lotion that’s got her skin all even and gleamy like that.
SHES AMAZING
Mrs. Obama is absolutely breathtaking! I am so thrilled, and proud that she is OUR First Lady.
here are two other great outfits. she seems to do very well with gowns but she has had some moments where I scratched my head. and even though shes an older woman, im in my twenties and I would wear some of these outfits. O made a great choice marrying her.

I absolutely adore the vintage dress (on page 9) that she wore. Gorgeous.
Love her. Love.
Gorgeous! Can’t wait to get this issue in the mail.
She looks particularly good in Lauren (2), Lanvin (6), and in the dress she wore to honor Jared C Monti (10).
Absolutely amazing
She is absolutely stunning!
