Michelle Obama on 'most beautiful' list

Michelle Obama, who has appeared on one magazine cover after another and who polls shows is widely admired, can add another feather to her cap:

She's one of People magazine's 100 most beautiful people.

The first lady, whose fashion choices are closely scrutinized, is shown wearing a sleeveless gown in a sneak peek of the annual list on the magazine's website.

"I had a father and a brother who thought I was beautiful, and they made me feel that way every single day," she says in the accompanying caption. "I grew up with very strong male role models who thought I was smart and fast and funny, so I heard that a lot. I know that there are many young girls who don’t hear it."

Obama, who has championed military families among her issues, marked her husband's 100th day in office by joining Jill Biden, Vice President Joe Biden's wife, and more than 100 congressional spouses bagging food for hungry children at a Washington food bank.
