Barbara Walters selected Michelle Obama (wearing Rachel Roy) as her most fascinating person of the year. While the previous nine of Walters' "10 Most Fascinating People" had been revealed, the tenth and most fascinating person is kept secret until the show airs.

The First Lady added that she still has "pinch me" moments even nine months after moving into the White House.



"There are moments when you're driving up to the White House at night," Mrs. Obama said, "and the white lights are shining on this beautiful home, and you pull up to it, and somebody opens up the door and says, "Welcome home.' Those are the times when you think, 'Really? Wow? OK. Here we go.'" Their interview took place December 1 at the White House.

A few of First lady Michelle Obama's favorite designers were in full force showing their Spring 2010 collections at fashion week in New York this September which got me wondering about who she might want to add to her spring wardrobe next year. Out of all of these looks here, I'd have to say designer Sophie Theallet (red belted dress, far right) is coming pretty close to the silhouette that the first lady has a known affinity for. What do you think?
