It may only be October, but Michelle Obama already seems to be in the holiday spirit, at least when it comes to posing for the festive-feeling December cover of Glamour.
Of course, her status as a fashionista has sometimes been open for debate, and that's something Mrs. Obama has come to expect.
"People are always going to have opinions, and people have a right to their opinions, particularly when you're the First Lady; you're representing the nation," she tells the mag. "So I can't be surprised that people are interested. But I've tried to be at peace with the choices that I make first, and then be open to everyone else's reflection."
