Ever since Michelle Obama departed for Europe with her husband, taking along a wardrobe of designer clothes and revealing a new hairdo, her meeting with Carla Sarkozy, the wife of the French president, had been anticipated as a fashion face-off between two stylish first ladies.
Their meeting on Friday, at the Palais Rohan in Strasbourg, France, was not quite that. Indeed, Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Sarkozy looked remarkably similar, suggesting that both women know fashion and themselves pretty well. Each wore a coat with a soft bow at the neck and low-heeled shoes."snip" Considering that both women have been compared to Jacqueline Kennedy, and that Mrs. Sarkozy is a pop singer and former model, people might have been surprised by the dull sobriety of Mrs. Sarkozys outfit. But in the year since her marriage to President Nicolas Sarkozy, the French first lady has proved to be far more refined in her look than trendy.
She chooses clothes with a relatively clean silhouette, like the Dior coat, or a black velvet Azzedine Alaïa gown she wore last week, or a navy Yves Saint Laurent dress she wore to an AIDS benefit in Paris in January. When she met Queen Elizabeth II last year, Mrs. Sarkozy was dressed top-to-toe in Dior, but in a way it was almost a costume of prim first lady elegance, and she has since toned that down and injected more, it seems, of herself."snip"
The meeting between Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Sarkozy may not have been the showdown that fashion bloggers expected, but the American first lady has received the kind of coverage typically reserved for, well, supermodels. At times it has been gushy. The Web site for LExpress in Paris ran an article titled The Ten Commandments of Michelle Obamas Style.

It's part of that slobbering love affair with Present Obama by the lackeys of the DNC-—What we know as the MSM and owned cable stations like MSNBC.
It is truly sickening.
I will say that someone has talked to Michelle Obama about keeping her legs together.
In on clip where she was posing with others, she first stood with her feet 3’ apart, then for the still shot demurely crossed her ankles and actually looked semi-female like.
She still walks like a linebacker though.
There is only one dress I liked and it was the cranberry colored one. It almost fit her; but then she went and paired it with that coat which looked like a shower curtain and as usual ruined it. The dress was a bit to tight; but it was the first thing I have ever seen her in that resembles anything decent.
She has such poor taste; I can’t believe she actually dares to go out in public.
I've seen semi trucks with more poise and grace then the belle. And quite frankly, a lot nicer to look at too.

Michugly can't compete with Optimus Prime.
Yep, that’s what I’m talkin bout!
“Amis! Halo! You like my Carla, yes? So do I! So bad you are stuck with your Michelle-lady!”
Great googly-moogly!
“...her meeting with Carla Sarkozy, the wife of the French president, had been anticipated as a fashion face-off between two stylish first ladies”
I, for one, don’t believe this for a moment. No one was anticipating anything. Michelle as fashion belle is one of those Big Lies.
“The US Govt, i.e. you and I, are footing the bill for thevObamas European Grand Tour with 500 flunkies.”
As opposed to Sarah Palin’s outfits, which were paid for by private donations to the Republican party, in the worst scandal since Teapot Dome.
As a previous poster said, that's where she stores B. Hussein's basketball.
I failed to notice.
ROFL!
Does Michelle dip snuff? What’s in her bottom lip?
LOL! I didn’t notice that.
Might be time to have your eyes tested. LOL!
