Washington: As President Barack Obama logged in hundred days in the White House, the First Lady scored a rare accolade, being named among the 'Most Beautiful'.
Michelle, who has been hailed as a style icon by global fashionistas since her husband became the first Black President, was named in the 'Most Beautiful' list alongside head turners Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry and Christina Aguilera.
People magazine's annual "100 Most Beautiful People" will showcase a glittering White House presence when it hits newsstands tomorrow as the magazine reveals the identity of "The President's inner circle who are turning heads in D.C".
"I had a father and a brother who thought I was beautiful, and they made me feel that way every single day," Michelle told the fashion magazine.
"I'm not going to say there were no beauties in past administrations by any means, but we couldn't help but notice a lot of head turners in this one," executive editor Liz Sporkin was quoted as saying by The Washington Times on Thurrsday.
"First lady Michelle Obama is the centerpiece of it all," the paper said. "The Fabulous First" folks roster also includes White House social secretary Desiree Rogers, personal aide Reggie Love, chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, speechwriter Jon Favreau, Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner and White House chef Sam Kass, the report said.
The First Lady has been on the cover of 22 magazines in the past year, including Vogue, People, Oprah's O magazine and several special publications. Last year alone, her husband made the cover of Time 14 times, and Newsweek 12.
