Jason Wu may have gotten some much needed press attention due to the First Lady’s love of his clothes, but it looks like Michael Kors is set to get even more non-TV-related press thanks to Mrs. O, too.
Not only did she wear a basic black Kors in her official White House portrait, but she sports an eye-scorching blood orange (or red?) dress on the April cover of O (which is news in and of itself - the only person to ever grace the cover of O during its nine year history is Oprah herself, until now).
Bruce Weber shot the cover, and Oprah wore Rachel Roy for the very first interview Obama allowed in the White House -
Which kind of makes you wonder exactly why it was held until after Vogue’s March hit the stands first…

This just in:
If you’re planning on checking out the the massive March issue of Interview (of course you are) then you can expect one teeny-tiny cover girl.
Mary-Kate Olsen has been shot for the cover, decked out in “tons” of Proenza.
So who will be her interviewer? (Glenn? Ashley?) Sadly, we have no idea.
But if you do…
When we posted the first images of Blake Lively’s February Vogue cover, the discussion took a quick turn from does she or doesn’t she look amazing to who’s landed April’s cover.
Thanks to a few readers and some sneaky emails / texts, we think we have the answer. But since it isn’t nearly as fun to just tell you, let’s play a game. The clues:
1. “If you think this one is bad get ready. Vogue is now turning into TV Guide, April’s cover is even less deserved.”
2. “A cheesy television actress who came from a teen show - with bad commercial movies.”
3. She’s a former WB star.
4. The actress is “shaplier” than Katie Holmes, (which makes her prime for April’s Shape Issue) but shares the same initials.

Nobody can stop talking about the December Vogue cover with Jennifer Aniston. Some are fixated by the Photoshopping, but most are shockingly interested in Jennifer calling out Angelina on stealing her husband back in 2005 and now semi-gloating about it.
But our reaction went more like this: Since when does Vogue put up cover lines, like the one at left, like they’re Us Weekly?
“What Angelina Did Was Very Uncool” sounds like something I might glimpse on the cover of somebody’s trash mag while on a neighboring treadmill, not what America’s leading fashion magazine should use to sell their issue.
We get that cover lines are all about grabbing the newsstand browser, and that anything about Angelina obviously sells, but still, forgive us for thinking there were boundaries.
Not to mention, that quote isn’t even correctly attributed to their cover girl - the extended quote reveals that she actually said something considerably different. But, we guess that doesn’t matter if you’re selling it like Star.

Another message, from 10:36pm last night:
Hi Ladies,
Just got home and saw the comment madness over Blake Lively and thought I’d clear the air. I’m interning in PR for a luxury designer, and we had a request for some samples for her last week. For Vogue.
The request came for MMB’s assistant (who happens to be, strangely, Tory Burch’s step-daughter, Izzie). I don’t remember if it was for MMB’s Index or for another shoot, Izzie also handles the American market requests for any fashion shoots.
But the samples were definitely for Blake Lively and definitely sent to Vogue last week, dropped off at 4 Times Square on the 12th floor.
Night!
Then, from a friend at 12:08am:
