It’s Official: Michelle Obama in VOGUE Mag!


Next month, Michelle Obama will hit the stands in Vogue Magazine. Following Hillary Clinton, Michelle is the second First Lady to grace the cover. It’s not confirmed what exactly she’ll wear, but we do know she’ll be flaunting Jason Wu. The Washington Post reports:

In the cover photo, taken by Annie Leibovitz, Obama is leaning on a soft beige sofa at the Hay Adams Hotel, where the first family stayed days before the historic inauguration. Obama is wearing a magenta dress by designer Jason Wu, who designed her inaugural ball gown. Her hand rests under her chin. Her left hand folded beneath her. She is wearing a diamond that you do not often see her wearing in recent appearances.

Honestly, the last few articles in Vogue have been rather lackluster. So, Michelle will add a bit of color…literally.

Talley and Credit Issues? No Way!

According to "Page Six", Andre Leon Talley might have a bit of credit problems…


Andre Leon Talley had a tough time buying underpants recently. The 6-foot-8 Vogue editor at large was in Macy's picking out XXL Calvin Klein thongs, but was thwarted when he tried to open a store credit-card account, our spy said. "He was denied and had trouble paying for it and had to come back . . . it was a big fiasco," the source said. Vogue spokes man Patrick O'Connell con firmed Talley was in Macy's, but insisted he was buying Polo boxers - not thongs. He declined to discuss the credit flap.

Black is Beautiful

Thanks to Vogue editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani recognizing the lack of black faces at Fashion Week in February, the July Italian VOGUE issue will feature pictures of ONLY black models, and will include articles on black women in the arts and entertainment industries.


Now if we can only get American Vogue to follow suit! Which by the way has only had 34 black women—most of them models—on its cover in its 116-year history.


The magazine will have four available covers with models Liya Kebede, Sessilee Lopez, Jourdan Dunn and Naomi Campbell.
