Alicia Keys Poses as Michelle Obama for Glamour Magazine...

You can do anything! That’s the message of the seven decades of female risk takers, rule breakers and style makers in Glamour Magazine's American Icons issue. Glamour celebrates them with the help of some very-2009 young talents.

Not only is Obama the first African American filling the position, but she’s already making best-dressed headlines for a style that ranges from couture to J.Crew. Raised in Chicago, Obama, 45, powered on to Princeton and Harvard Law School before beginning a career during which she met, mentored and married our current President. Hail to our newest smart, opinionated, chic First Lady!

“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 Keys, 28, whose most recent album is "As I Am."
