Michelle Obama & Oprah Cover "O" Magazine

After sharing the cover of her magazine with her slimmer self a couple months back, Oprah Winfrey is for the first time sharing it with somebody else: First Lady Michelle Obama.


Winfrey showed off the cover of the April issue during “The Oprah Winfrey Show” broadcast Friday. The media mogul had gone solo on the “O” magazine cover for nine years.

In the issue that will hit the newsstands March 17, Winfrey interviews the first lady about topics ranging from her decorating philosophy to how she hopes she can help other women.

In the interview, Obama talks about her first weekend in the White House and how the Obama family sees it as their responsibility to make the White House what she calls the “people’s house.”

    lmao @ DarkSista. Kid or not, you’re right!

  9. Michelle is so tasteful. I am so feeling her outfit! I love it, she looks so classy but sexy. It gives a man a chance to wonder (like my mom says). My husband says he likes the conservative look, it makes him desire more! Go shelly. I am sweating that ensamble.

  10. Phenomenal women! I should have been in the middle…LOL.

  11. Now if Tyra stop interrupting people in her show and talking about herself We’ re good

    Rant starting

    OMFG tyra banks i so hate her right now, This chick is so self absorbed its scary she cuts people when they are speaking to talk about her own experience, OMG like they are your guest don’ t interupt them , I made a dare with my sisters to challenge tyra to one show where she would not say anything about her and child that never happens, Like stop trying to make it seem like you can relate to everyone tyra you were a model and now a very successful rich person you can’ t relate to me child, she wants to be everyone girlfriend like for real ????

    Rant OVer\

    Love the cover, I’ m getting a copy so is my mama and my sistas

  12. Michelle’s use of color is just beautiful. I would have never thought to put those 2 colors together. Someone said they thought the outfit was Narcisco Rodriguez- but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say I think it’s a J. Crew original.

  13. so beautiful and classy and i so hope that O magazine south africa runs with the same cover and story for march but if they dnt i’m gonna pic the american one it is a bit expensive but i’ll do it for the first lady.

  14. Loving Michelle’s look and Miss O’s dress, I want both outfits! Michelle looks styling…loving it. Lizz which part of SA you from Im from there too!

  15. Some Like it Hot

    FLOTUS is wearing a Michael Kors dress and Dear cashmere cardigan. Lady “O” is wearing Rachel Roy.

  16. Awww darnnit- I was wrong :lol2:

    Oh well. The outfit is hot and expect to see this fly off the shelves.

    What beautiful Spring colors :thumbsup:

    (Btw, thanks for the info Some Like It Hot)

    Love it!! :brownsista:

  18. That’s the same belt Lady O wore to the soup kitchen earlier this week. I hated it at first_ thought it looked a cheap. Don’t know why I love it here on this cover shot. For anyone who cares the belt is by Sonia Rykiel

    Off topic,

    My ex who called me “Becky” or “Muffy” for my endless colorful sweaters and cardigans now have egg on his face. Layering outfits w/fitted sweaters RULE! :lol:

  19. What a cover!!!! I love it! I can’t wait to pick this one up!

  20. @luxe the city of Gold

  21. I’m not feeling the picture, it looks weird. They both look great, but the pose is off.
