I treasure her March 2009 cover like.. my own life (), but this is just.. no, I can't get over these eyebrows, they normally don't look like that, I don't know what happened, and that football mom hair.. ah. And I hate that shade of green too. At least that dress looks good on her.
I think this has the making if a wonderful cover - great color schemes, styling, set - but her face looks odd, from either hair & makeup, photoshop, or both.
I think I love this. And I am positively shocked by the fact that:
1. The lack of text and annoying tag lines
2. There is no annoying banner on top left corner
3. Two amazing black women on consecutive covers!!! Love this!
I most certainly will pick this issue up.
My only slight nitpick would be that the pose makes her arms look like Dwight Howard lol
At first I thought this cover was beautiful. But now I think it looks more like an official portrait for the whitehouse than a Vogue cover. And I really hate her hair. Like, reaaaaally. Nevertheless, I like this cover. Vogue isn't as great as it used to be. Even just a few years ago it had much better editorial content and covers. This is pretty lackluster. But I will say, the picture of her in the black dress reminds me of an autographed picture of Eleanor Roosevelt we have from when my great grandfather performed magic at the white house.

I don't think this cover is particularly bad, but it doesn't even look like she's in front of a real wall.
Although, I probably only find this amusing because I'm tired, but it's funny how in 2009 it was Michelle Obama on the March cover and Beyonce on the April cover and this year they've just switched.
