Former model Carla Bruni's figure is envied by women the world over - and it was brought into sharp focus by her choice of outfit for a state dinner last night. The French First Lady wore a floor-length Roland Mouret gown which was so tight it revealed the exact outline of her slim body - and the fact that she wasn't wearing a bra. Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president greeting his Russian equivalent Dimitry Medvedev at the Elysee Palace, certainly looked a proud husband.

On a night when several guests struggled to keep their composure the Italian Bruni, 42, looked elegant and composed with her hair tied back and matching bracelets on each arm.

Thanks to llevrok for the Ping!
Carla is an elegant, gracious First Lady. She is known for her elegant simplicity. No frills, no froufrou and no boob belts.
I love the color of the dress, and Louboutin shoes are terrific. She has the kind of naturally slim silhouette that can wear this kind of dress. She obviously has nothing to hide!
BTW Sarko looks pretty terrific himself. Very trim and fir... and happy!

Those goofy outfits Michelle wears remind me of the “Edith Ann” character Lili Tomlin used to do. They look like little girl dresses made for a linebacker.
Was he really drunk? Who is the guy who was holding him?
Spectacular.
Hey Nick, is that a nose on your face or are you just glad to see me?
There are two reasons for visiting France. And the food is one of them.
and two entirely different shades of blue, aren’t they?
Sorry dude, Getty Images aren’t allowed....
Thanks for the ping; post. Funny thread/comments here and at the source.
LOL ...spot on!
I think the dress is unattractive, and the shoes (which seem cute) don’t go with it.
I’d take her over Chewbacca.
Ya like what ya like.
It’s the greeat pumpkin Charlie Brown!
