The Council of Fashion Designers of America handed the First Lady a special tribute award at a ceremony in New York on Monday night.
"Her meteoric rise in the world of fashion has echoed her husband in the world of politics," said Diane von Furstenberg, the CFDA's president.
Mrs Obama, famous for patronising high street clothing brands such as J Crew, has "a unique look that balances the duality of her lives" in her roles as a confidante to the US president and a busy mother, she added.
But Tracey Ullman, the ceremony's British-born host, couldn't resist a sartorial dig at Mrs Obama, noting that she shouldn't have worn a cardigan to meet the Queen.
The award's recipient was absent from the ceremony but accepted it via a pre-recorded video speech.
"This past year has been an extraordinary time for me. On behalf of women everywhere, I want to thank you for making fashion liberating, inspiring, but most of all, fun," she said.

I love the way they clean up all her ‘fashion shots’ when in truth she is just an average looking woman with a really large rear.

This is barf-inducing. The way these people are treated as examples of tast and competence is nauseating.
