I just like a first lady who looks like she's not tranquilized.
It's official: Michelle Obama really is the First Lady of fashion - and now she has the award to prove it.
The 45-year-old received the honour gong last night over top industry favourites at The Council of Fashion Designers of America's annual awards.
Noting her 'meteoric rise as a fashion icon,' CFDA president Diane von Furstenberg said Obama had 'a unique look that balances the duality of her lives' in her roles as adviser to her husband, President Barack Obama, and mother to their two daughters.

Obama accepted her award via a pre-taped video speech and said she honoured fashion as an American 'art form' with 'ingenuity and craftsmanship that contribute so much to our economy and culture.'
