In the present time, there are maybe just two First Ladies that really catch our attention: Michelle Obama of the U.S. and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy of France. If we are going to look back to each woman’s lives, it’s just like day and night. Obama is a Harvard Law graduate who paved her way from her humble childhood life in South Chicago into being a succesful, high-earning career woman. Meanwhile, Bruni-Sarkozy’s past life is full of glitz and glamour. She was famous for being one of the supermodels of the ‘90s, not to mention, her nude photographs.
But there is one thing that characterizes both: fashionable. They both love great clothes and they are featured in the March 2009 issue of Vogue—although Michelle reigns supreme by being on the cover. Last Friday, they met each other for the first time in the midst of the 60th NATO anniversary celebration in Strasbourg, France. Michelle wore a floral coat by Thakoon, while Carla was going back to basic by wearing a simple Dior suit. Both look great, of course, but, still, their respective style is unique. Michelle tends to be experimental by adding some pop of color and prints to her ensemble, like the bright yellow dress she wore when arriving in London. Carla’s style, on the other hand, becomes more demure, soigné, and ladylike, befitting the wife of one of the most influential men in the world.
So, who is winning this style competition? You decide.
