Tyra Banks channels Michelle Obama! The pearls, the Oval Office -- and posing with a Barack look-a-like!

For its latest issue, Harper's Bazaar casts Tyra as First Lady for a spread about today's most fashionable lady in politics.

The former supermodel tells the mag she hopes to book Michelle on her talk show. The two met once and Tyra says Michelle was "so warm and so gracious. She's got that direct-eye-contact, truly-connecting thing. She's not a 'ha, ha, ha' type." She smiles and continues, "And I love that she's tall."

    Please Tyra, will you ask Senator Obama to respond to me? I am so tired of the same OLD White MEN following the 1800's agenda. Rich gets richer and the poor gets Poorer.

  • Tyra, when you do your makeover, please, please "you create a princess" will you. An "American Princess" for the people. She is so beautiful. Your'e images above look more like a reality show wardrobe. I need to see the most beautiful,woman in the world come alive. Stay conservative, lots of drapping, use royal colors. Lot's of femine chiffons. I loved the way you did her hair and makeup. Oh, and don't forget Obama and the girls. You can do it!
