Coming Soon: The Michelle Obama Style Guide

Avon A books, an imprint of Harper Collins, has announced its plans to produce a style guide to the fashion of the future First Lady. Avon A says the “guide will be a four-color trade paperback, and will include design sketches, tips on how to achieve Obama’s iconic style, and numerous related sidebar fashion features.” The book will be written by Mandi Norwood, award winning Editor, author of Sex & The Married Girl, and contributor to numerous magazines and television shows.

If there is any question as to exactly what the hoopla surrounding Mrs. Obama is all about, this eye-popping photo in Paris Match should answer any remaining question.

both a President and a First Lady of whom we can be proud for a change!
And of course, it's not just her looks or her style that will do us proud - she's a brilliant and accomplished woman in her own right.

I think it's nice that the Obamas are sort of getting "celeb-y" --- it'll humanize them. They're the new First Family. :D

Hottest first couple ever!

you have arrived.

super elegant on her.
What style!
Love it.

I am not even a clothes person but this dress is just breathtaking. Can you imagine this on Michelle? I can see the heads turning as she enters the room wearing that.

That is gorgeous....and she would wear it well, with her tall self! :thumbsup:

that picture is just beautiful

And I LOVE the brown and sage green on her.

Leibovitz? Seriously. Michelle done MADE it to da bigtime! Michelle Obama is the first African-American First Lady of the United States - and a beautiful one at that. She will be a historic icon.

Wish I had a graceful neck like that *pout*

She looks stunning.

I went to law school with her, knew who she was, though I didn't know her personally, and she's vastly more striking now than she was then.

Snort :rofl:. I'm a size 18 and hopelessly Caucasian - I can get a sunburn just walking by a tanning booth. Besides, she's unique: other women should be discouraged from trying this at home. Michelle goes beyond eye-candy: she's the most stunningly gorgeous First Lady ever. Not one woman in a thousand could look as good in her clothes, but I expect we'll see as many try it as tried dressing like Jackie back in the sixties.

Now if they would only put half the effort into being as smart...

She looks absolutely stunning!

Which is probably a good choice because they are really too arched and accentuate the angularity of her face. Her face requires a more flattened arch than she has now. But I'm sure that will be resolved over time.

She's really a lovely woman.

It's what sets her apart. Malia has the same eyebrows. She should never touch those eyebrows.

Apparently the photo in Paris Match is taken from the Annie Leibovitz photo shoot for Vogue.

I like the way she shows her arms like an American woman. She doesn't dress like she's about to jump on the next plane to Saudi Arabia.

with sleeveless shirts, a pearls choker and even some suits.
