Michelle Obama has become the first First Lady to be voted on to Maxim’s Hot 100 list, eclipsing the winner, actress Olivia Wilde.
The 45-year-old mother-of-two got the seal of approval from the lads’ magazine, joining babes Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie, Beyoncé and Scarlett Johansson.
Maxim says: “He may be dealing with two wars, an economic meltdown, and a rapidly greying dome, but at least our Commander-in-Chief gets to come home to the hottest First Lady in the history of these United States. (Sorry, Martha Washington!).”
Despite being called “not a great beauty” by model Iman, Obama beat Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei and TV presenter Padma Lakshmi to win the number 93 spot.
Maxim editor-in-chief Joe Levy says that the First Lady made the list because “we merely want to acknowledge that the overall package is one of remarkable beauty, intelligence and talent”.
But Obama wasn’t “hot” enough to top the chart – a place that was reserved for Wilde, a woman 21 years her junior.
The 24-year-old native New Yorker plays a TV doctor called Dr Hadley, on House MD.
Wilde, who is pictured in black leather stockings with matching boots, her legs spread to reveal her lace panties, was chosen, according to the magazine, because “she makes our body temperatures rise”.
