American First Ladies who have made the cover of Vogue
Vogue, arguably the world’s top fashion magazine has photographed almost every First Lady since 1929, but only two has ever made the cover.
The very first was Hillary Clinton in 1998.
Then, perhaps, inevitably, it was President Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle who’s the cover girl for the March 2009 issue.
For the cover, renowned celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz photographed Mrs Obama wearing a magenta silk dress designed by Jason Wu.
The First Lady also wore another Wu creation, the long white gown for the inauguration balls back on 20th January.
Her influence is not just simply fashion, it’s business: as a result of her dressing her family with clothees from J Crew on inauguration day, the company’s shares climbed 10%.
For the record, here’s Mrs Clinton in the 1998 cover:
