Iman: 'Mrs Obama is not a great beauty'

Iman has reportedly said that Michelle Obama is "not a great beauty".

Describing America's First Lady as "interesting looking", the legendary supermodel instead insisted that Obama's intellect is her greatest asset.

Iman told Parade magazine: "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."

She later added: "If you’re someone like Mrs Obama, you just get better with age."
