WASHINGTON - For the first time the U.S. First Lady has made Maxim magazine's annual top 100 list of "hottest women in the world," with Michelle Obama making the grade at number 93.



Billed as the "stimulus package America really needs," the British-based international magazine known for revealing pictorials of models and actresses showcases Obama in her tasteful official White House portrait.



In the rare accolade for a political spouse, the magazine notes that her husband President Barack Obama "may be dealing with two wars, an economic meltdown, and a rapidly graying dome.



"But at least our Commander in Chief gets to come home to the hottest First Lady in the history of these United States."



Obama has been hailed as a style icon by fashionistas around the world since her husband was elected president.



Maxim's self-described "eyeball-searing, fantasy-fulfilling, brain-exploding" list has Obama topping "Top Chef" host and model Padma Lakshmi (95) and Oscar-winning "Wrestler" star Marisa Tomei (97).



The magazine, which has a monthly U.S. circulation of some 2.5 million and is distributed throughout the world, moved over last year's chart-topper "Transformers" star Megan Fox to give the number one spot to TV's "House" actress Olivia Wilde.

“She has a good trainer, cosmetician-aesthetician and a good dresser. Given that, we could all be ‘sexy.’”

You left off sycophantic press that only distributes flattering pictures and writes fluff pieces.

I’m a woman and Michelle Obama doesn’t strike me as sexy, but she’s attractive.

She’s made unforgiving mistakes with her wardrobe though.

Good Lord, you scared the living bejeezis out of me with that first one.

[ropin71]

OMG Padma is smokin!

[Carley]

99% of the time she looks like something the cat dragged in.

No sense of style at all. She seems determined to poke decorum in the eye. She succeeds most of the time.

Shame on her.

[NMEwithin]

Oh but according to Maxim Michelle O is hotter? Give me a freaking break!!!!

[a fool in paradise]

Maxim is a stroke magazine for minors and metrosexuals.

That she would make a “hot 100” list is not a good thing. On several levels.

[Lizavetta]

That top looks like a cross between a Vegas lounge singer and Pippi Longstocking. And the off the shoulder look is tacky.

[Jewbacca]

I don't care for that comparison. The first lady is clearly brain-eating zombie, capable of smashing spinal bones with her teeth to suck out nueral tissue, NOT a wookie.

[gathersnomoss]

I see plastic in Shells future.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Don’t you eyeball me, sucka!.....

Proof that anyone can make Maxim's Top 100 list.

Two young guys in my office were discussing this today - both big Obamabots (though real quiet about it now). Both said exactly the same thing you did about something the cat dragged in - except one guy said “well, not really, I don’t think my cat would touch that.”

Too funny.

[Rummyfan]

She looks like an alien here...

Honestly, she's got a huge a**, no t*ts, and man-hands. I could find one-hundred sexier looking women at any large mall in the U.S. I don't want to attack the woman for her phsyical attributes, but if a magazine puts out this nonsense, what else is there to say?

[AngelesCrestHighway]

It must be a black thing!....I just don’t see it!

Apparently one of the judges approving the persons on the list:

ROTFL!
