Michelle Obama stuns on the cover of Vogue magazine

US first lady Michelle Obama for the third time featured on the cover of Vogue Magazine December 2016 issue. The 52-year-old mother of two who looked absolutely stunning in a cream Carolina Herrera and a navy Atelier Versace sheath dresses poses for some photos shot by Annie Leibovitz, as she discusses her final days in the White House, her role as First Lady, life after the White House, daughters, fashion choices, etc.

Michelle together with her husband, the out going US president Barrack Obama are blessed with two daughters' Malia, 18, and Sasha, 15.

FLOTUS' bold fashion choices have consistently made headlines for the past eight years. In an interview with the magazine, Michelle said she appreciates the opportunity she had to create a political persona of her own choosing. 

"I could have spent eight years doing anything," she said.

"And at some level, it would have been fine. I could have focused on flowers. I could have focused on decor. I could have focused on entertainment. Because any First Lady, rightfully, gets to define her role. There's no legislative authority; you're not elected. And that's a wonderful gift of freedom."

Michelle and her husband Obama celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary in October.

She said she believes "it's time" for her and the President to move on to the next chapter of their lives, as she has also tried to maintain what she considers a crucial balance throughout their time at the White House.

"I think our democracy has it exactly right: two terms, eight years," she said. "It's enough. Because it's important to have one foot in reality when you have access to this kind of power."

Michelle told the Magazine that she's adopting a usual strategy and open mind as another new title awaits her when it comes to planning for the future.

"I will take the same approach leaving as I did coming in," she said. "I won't know until I'm there. I've never been the former First Lady of the United States of America before."
