Glamour magazine selected its top 50 most glamorous women of the year for the June issue, based on a panel of judges and online reader polls. Of course, we're barely halfway through the year and a yearlong retrospective seems a bit presumptuous. But it's the winner's circle that leaves us perplexed. Kates flank both ends — Winslet tops the list at No. 1, while supermodel Moss comes in dead last. With Moss's Topshop opening, Met-gala hosting duties, and anticipated forthcoming biography, we're surprised to see her so far down on the list compared to people like Rachel Weisz (No. 44) and Megan Fox (No. 40). But that's not the worst of it.
Sandwiched in the middle is France's First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, at No. 34. She barely beat Taylor Swift (No. 35), but Bruni's rotating wardrobe of Chanel and Christian Dior is apparently not glamorous enough to edge out Jennifer Lopez (No. 33). But that's not even the biggest upset. Anne Hathaway beat Michelle Obama. Hathaway, touted on the list because "she bounced back from a breakup by looking fabulous everywhere," came in the No. 2 slot, while Michelle Obama finished in third place. The First Lady of the United States of America, who is reinvigorating fashion during a recession with her sleeveless dresses, blazing guns, Michael Kors dresses, J.Crew cardigans, pointy flats, and that omnipresent Azzedine Alaïa belt, is second to someone who can rebound well. Somehow that just doesn't seem justifiable or glamorous at all.
Obama himself would snub Michelle in favor of Anne Hattaway.
Number Three? Eeeeewwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!
THAT. IS. WRONG.
Also, friggin’ hilarious. On many levels.

"House rules" and all that.
The real surprise is that anyone could, with a straight face, call the First Lady glamorous. That’s a real head scratcher.
Kate Winslet, I can see her being called “glamorous.” Anne Hathaway, no doubt, glamorous. Michelle Obama? Um...no. She’s not a troll like Helen Thomas, she’s not an unattractive woman, but glamorous? Not hardly.

Which is larger, Michelle Obama’s IQ or chest size?
When some liberal starts telling you that Michelle Obama is a fashion icon, tell them that you think Sarah Palin dresses with much more class. Then show them this picture as proof:
After they justifiably rip the outfit apart ("The sweater doesn't fit! The skirt is horrible and doesn't match! What's with the horrendous faux-snakeskin heels? It looks like she bought it at WalMart!"), you can tell them that it's actually the outfit Michelle wore to meet the first lady of England.
A tie.
I have never seen Sarah dress that bad.
And still look so damn good!
Hmph. What a sucky list.
I believe that the image posted by dead in reply #10 is a photoshop of Obamamama's body with Sarah's head attached. It would be more effective clearer if both images were displayed side by side.
Really lookin' forward to 500 Days of Summer.
No clothes can fix 'shelle.... maybe a hefty bag
