The (U.K.) Times Online ^ | November 27, 2009

The French fashion world has dealt a new blow to Nicolas Sarkozy’s desire to upstage President Obama: Elle magazine, the Parisiennes’ style bible, has proclaimed that Michelle Obama is more chic than Carla Bruni.

The magazine’s annual best-dressed list, unveiled yesterday, awarded first place in the category of “political chic” to America’s First Lady, and second to France’s Première Dame. It is the second year in a row that Ms Bruni, 42, has come second on the list; last year Elle put her behind Asma Assad, the British-born wife of the Syrian President.

If we use her backside on a sign, it will never fit in your
car and we will have to tie it down on the roof.

Michelle tries to hard to be everything while being nothing. I wonder who she paid off to get this.

Look! She’s improving, the belt is not on the OUTSIDE of her sweater.

I just HAD to click on the article. There are so many gems in there. But this one....proves that the Elle style jury is daffy:

The Elle style jury, led by Nathalie Rykiel, of the Sonia Rykiel house, said that the emphasis this year was on strong personalities who shone with a distinctive style. “Mrs Obama resembles no one else — her style is unique,” said Elle.

“Unique” is a euphemism for “BLEEECH!”

I think I read a fashion piece awhile back that said she has to ditch the belts. I think they are on to something. As for the photo with the rear view - I don’t think a lot of women would like a shot taken from that angle, so I feel a little for her. She can look nice but where she got the belt idea for every outfit is beyond me.

OMG, I had those pants in 1993 — stretch weave, stirrups, sewn in creases. Has anyone ever told her that you should buy a belt large enough so that you are not buckling it on the last hole? Tacky, tacky. I won’t even touch the too tight sleeves.

Oh my gosh! You’re right about the fashion police ping on this outfit. Thanks for the ping.
