Now we can all get Michelle Obama's look!
First Lady's fashion secrets revealed in first book dedicated to her style
Since her husband's inauguration, Michelle Obama's wardrobe has received as much attention in the spotlight as the First Lady herself.
In 2009, she was named as one of the world's most beautiful women. The same year, she was awarded a CFDA gong honouring her role in American fashion - and all while wowing a global audience with her grace, elegance and daring style, championing new designers and supporting U.S. business, and her husband, to boot.
It comes are no surprise, then, that the First Lady's sartorial acumen is the subject of its very own book, Commander in Chic: Every Woman's Guide to Managing her Style like a First Lady.
Written by Mikki Taylor, the hands-on style guide is packed with tips, advice and notes on how to dress like Barack's wife and, in doing so, perhaps emulate a fraction of that famously laid-back self-assuredness.
Speaking with Huffington Post, Ms Taylor said that the idea behind the project was not as a coffee table book, but rather as a guide 'that was filled with information that [women] could embrace, that would give them the kind of guidance to take the guesswork out of style.'
The Essence magazine editor, who first worked with Mrs Obama, 47, on a shoot for the magazine in 2006, is clearly a devoted admirer of her 'easy muse' and hopes to empower women with the style tips. Ms Taylor says that Mrs Obama is 'comfortable in her own skin' and always 'knows what works for her, who she is, who she isn't.'

She may not be to your taste, but why do you have to demean her like that. I am not an O-fan, but I think that she is lovely and dresses very well for her role in today’s complicated political and social climate.
Attack Obama and his policies...but leave off his wife’s appearance - that is just cheap.
oh shaddup, troll. Go crawl back in your box under the overpass.
That will be all you have left when Obozo and his wife get done with ya.
Have a good day.
See? I am nice.
However, I believe that media hypocrisy should be exposed every chance we get. So, when I read things like the quote in the story that said:
"In 2009, she was named as one of the world's most beautiful women. The same year, she was awarded a CFDA gong honouring her role in American fashion - and all while wowing a global audience with her grace, elegance and daring style," ...
I will post an objection. In this case I let the picture speak for itself. I have seen plenty of this woman because she wants the attention and puts herself out there a lot. I have also seen the media try to build her into something she is not, like they did with her hubby. My contention in doing this is that she is far from being "one of the world's most beautiful women". Nor is she graceful or elegant.
That you Mrs. Robinson?
Thank you. Now people in offices near mine think I’m a little off, sitting in here by myself, laughing my fool head off. But, you did manage to make an otherwise dull afternoon more interesting, and for that I thank you.
The wookie has a thong can you wonder why? If we saw that naked a$$ in a thong puke would follow!
