Legendary former supermodel Iman, 53, serves Michelle Obama a backhanded compliment in an interview featured in this week’s edition of Parade.

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.”
