Legendary fashion model Iman serves Michelle Obama a backhanded compliment in an interview featured in this week’s edition of Parade.

While Iman doesn’t find Mrs. O a strickingly beautiful woman, she notes that the First Lady’s “interesting look” will be a benefit to her in the aging process.

Ok….

Iman tells Parade: “Mrs. Obama is not a great beauty…But she is so interesting looking and so bright. That will always take you farther. When you’re a great beauty, it’s always downhill for you. If you’re someone like Mrs. Obama, you just get better with age.”

Methinks what Michelle may lack in looks, she makes up for with intelligence, pose, and just overall fierceness.
