Michelle Obama to Appear on Cover of Vogue

 Michelle Obama is making history again – by becoming only the second president`s wife to appear on the cover of Vogue magazine. The newly-minted first lady was photographed by famed shooter Annie Leibovitz at the Hay-Adams Hotel, where the Obamas stayed before the Inauguration. While nearly every first lady – beginning with Herbert Hoover`s wife, Lou, in 1929 – has been photographed for the fashion bible, only Hillary Clinton was featured on the cover, in Dec. 1998, Vogue spokesman Patrick O`Connell tells PEOPLE. In the March issue of the magazine, the cover of which will be released Wednesday, Obama is seen wearing a magenta dress by Jason Wu, who designed her inaugural gown, and also pictured in a black dress by designer Narciso Rodriguez, according to the Washington Post. Future Plans In the interview, Obama talks about getting used to Washington and her plans for being a first lady – and first mom. "I`m going to try to take [our two daughters] to school every morning – as much as I can," she says, according to the Post. "But there`s also a measure of independence. And obviously there will be times I won`t be able to drop them off at all. I like to be a presence in my kids` school. I want to know the teacher; I want to know the other parents." As for why Vogue chose to feature Obama on the cover, the magazine`s editor Anna Wintour writes, "Change was the clarion call of Barack Obama`s election campaign, though I don`t think any of us at Vogue initially realized that would include the difference that was going to be made by First Lady Michelle Obama`s wardrobe ... It`s inspiring to see our first lady so serene and secure in her personal style."
