Now we can all get Michelle Obama's look!

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.'

I”m shocked Mikki Taylor could write this article considering she is so far up Michelle’s ample rear end.

It’s gonna rain some more this weekend!

I hope the forecast is right. We got 1.25" the other day, but the lake is hurting.

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.’

As I understand it, The First Wookie, Moochelle, has 23 people working for her. You'd think at least one of them would have enough fashion sense to advise her what and what not to wear. Moochelle has the fashion sense of a serial ax murderer. Whenever she comes on TV or is in the press, I positively cringe at her “taste” purchased by the taxpayers.

I just noticed the Moose’s hair in that pic.

Looks like she forgot to put her wig on that day.

Scary!

Wow - what a snob you are...and mean spirited too -attack BO on his policies, but keep away from cheap jibes at his wife
It makes you look classless and takes away from any political savvy that you might have
sexist!
