First ladies Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy
One of our most anticipated events at the G20 summit was the fashionista face-off between U.S. and French first ladies Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy in Strasbourg. Daily Beast editor Tina Brown called it:
the most delicious, sartorial fashion moment that we are all going to be deconstructing for next two or three weeks."
In the glamfest prelims, the two modeled their accessories husbands:
Michelle won that round 3-1.
We gave her husband, United States President Barack Obama, higher marks for world power, height — Obama is 6' 1½", Sarkozy is a diminuitive 5' 5" — and rock-star sex appeal.
We gave Carla's husband, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, credit for marrying fashion models (twice). We also tossed him an honorable mention for being impersonated in a prank phone call with the real Sarah Palin, but we didn't give him any points because it wasn't really him.
The main event was the ensemble competition.
Michelle wore: Fuschia-on-black floral coat over reverse-print sheath. Thakoon.
Carla wore: Gray suede cropped-sleeve, belted coat over gray silk-trimmed sheath. Dior.
Michelle wore kitten heels, Carla wore flats.

I love Michelle and love her pics her, but I have to say it's Carla all the way on this one. I'm loving her coat and loving that last pic on the couch. They're both beautiful, though. Tough call!

Of course Carla Bruni wore flats. She had to. Her husband is a midget.
Michelle is a french name! :D
Bonjour tout le monde!

Sorry folks Michelle does look like a PEEMP. & that hugging thing, what was she thinking, clearly not much brain activity there...
Carla wins by a mile! Michelle's coat resembles a clown costume and her dress is too tight and ill-fitting. Carla looks like a lady.
that's like asking who is the more attractive, King Kong or Naomi Watts.
Got something to say?
