Michelle Obama 's first official portrait as first lady was released by the White House Friday.

She appears in a Michael Kors black shift dress and pearls in the photo, taken in the famed home's "Blue Room" by White House photographer Joyce N. Boghosian.

See the Obama family album.

Obama is also featured on the March cover of Vogue.

She's the second first lady -- after Hillary Clinton -- to appear on the front of the magazine.

See first lady fashion over the years.

In the interview with Andre Leon Talley, she opens up about helping Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10, adjust to life in Washington, D.C.

"I'm going to try to take them to school every morning -- as much as I can," she says. "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."

    Hey that racist Oprah said she ( Mrs. Obama ) is the most eloquant 1st lady to ever be in the white house, why is that Big Oprah ?? hhmmm it wouldnt be because the 1st lady is black is it ? surely you would never say that BIG O, I sure wish you'd come clean BIG O and confess that Gail is your lesbo luver and that you pay Stegman to be on your shoulder at a event or 2 each yr.
