Ooh La La! Lady O Tops French Elle’s Best Dressed List!

French mag honors Obama—not Carla Bruni Sarkozy —with “Political Chic” award.

Let’s hear it for the USA!

Lady O, you’ve scored consistent style points on the home front for your impeccable mix of high and low-cost fashion choices long before you even stepped into the White House. Now that you’ve beat out France’s own first lady (and former model!), Carla Bruni Sarkozy, to secure the top spot on French Elle’s Best Dressed List in the “Political Chic” category, you’re only solidifying your position as International First Lady of Style.

“Mrs Obama resembles no one else. Her style is unique,” the Elle style jury, headed by Nathalie Rykiel, ruled. “She encourages young designers and has succeeded in imposing the waisted cardigan as official dress.”

We couldn’t agree more. Congrats on this fashion honor Michelle!

I love Michelle’s fashion sense! Very classy example of how a woman should present herself in the face of international public representation.
