Michelle Obama, First Lady United States graces the cover of Vogue Magazine

First Lady Michelle Obama has appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine for the second time, talking about family values and pushing back at critics who say she and the president need to socialize more.
Mrs Obama, 49, was captured in the April 2013 issue of the magazine - which hits newsstands on March 26 - by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz.
She first appeared on the cover of Vogue in March 2009 - right after her husband was inaugurated for his first term.
In an open, and assertive stance, she leans against a table and looks directly into the camera’s lens with her bare arms resting at her side.
Wearing a Reed Krakoff dress, taken from her own closet, in cerulean blue with a flourish of purple at the neckline, Mrs Obama looks comfortable, at ease, and happy.
By contrast, for Mrs Obama’s debut appearance on the Vogue cover in March 2009, she sat curled on a sofa with her arms lightly wrapped one over the other in a protective gesture; and the discomfort in her facial expression is palpable.
In the accompanying interview, by Jonathan Van Meter, the First Lady summarizes her relationship to fashion. Her style is mentioned only once in the profile, and in just one paragraph - insinuating perhaps that she has more important things on her mind.
