Alicia Keys is taking on the role of the first lady of fashion.

The singer posed as Michelle Obama alongside look-alikes of first daughters Sasha and Malia for a Glamour magazine photo shoot.

“She has worked hard for everything she’s accomplished, and done so with grace and humility. So many women and girls can identify with her story,” Alicia said of the first lady.

In the photograph, Alicia is wearing a blue Carolina Herrera dress, a black Michael Kors belt, Miriam Haskell necklace and black Christian Louboutin shoes.

Glamour magazine's 70th Anniversary/American Icons issue hits newsstands March 10.

  • This is insulting that Alicia Keys herself would even pose like this. I mean seriously what/who is she a STAN? Omg. Alicia Keys get a life. And Glamour First Lady Obama would more than likely be pissed that you regard her children as props!

  • I like Alicia Keys, but Mrs. Obama has her own unique style which cannot be duplicated or copies. I truly admire and look up to her.
