The new Vogue cover star is turning her favourite designers into stars - much to the disapproval of fashion's old guard

Although Michelle Obama has admitted - shockingly, considering the context - that she is less interested in clothes than politics and children in her upcoming interview in Vogue, after less than a month in the White House she is already proving to wield greater influence over the fashion world than the industry has known in years.

Fashioniasta, PING!

Hope you had a great day! :-)

I saw the bottom part of that dress, it’s not for a woman her size and what’s with all the summer party dresses.

This empty shell has more substance than her empty-suit of a husband.

Another basically ugly and inappropriate outfit. A casual dress perfect for a patio party worn in the middle of the winter to a professional event. Hasn't this woman ever heard of suits?

When are the fashion mavens going to notice that this empress' new clothes are, sadly, visible?

LOL, the libs hope if they keep writing this, it will be true.

This is a beautiful example of propaganda.

Right now her mark seems to be a big ol’ scrawled X (not that mine is much better).

She has made a mark and its not good.

I have the same mark on my underware.

You can’t make a silk purse out of a pig’s ear!

That would make it the Mark of the Beast.

Wouldn't you rather have a lady such as one the below representing our country?

[Lizavetta]

Yeah, she's a regular fashionista.

Every other woman in the picture is dressed appropriately. Mrs. Hussein's outfit is wrong on every level. Wrong pattern, wrong style, wrong length.

[Zathras]

Did she sit down or stand up?

Yesterday I promised myself I wouldn’t look until the morning but just like watching a horror flick, I had to peek.

Ah, jees...I know what the bottom half looks like and seeing this picture is only a single barf instead of a double.

Please don’t show the bottom. Please.

“Another basically ugly and inappropriate outfit.”

I think it’s disgusting that Michelle prances as a model while 500 million Americans a month lose their jobs. Diva, snort.

Michelle to unemployed, let them eat cake.

[y6162]

Cindy is hot. McCainiac, not.

[nothingnew]

Does she know she's not in the ring? She needs to take the mouth-guard out.

Wrong everything. You are correct.

[Lizavetta]

Doesn't matter what she's wearing.

She still looks like Aunt Esther in a bedspread.
