Chantal Biya: the First Lady of Cameroon (Eat Your Heart Out Michelle...)
The Telegraph ^ | 4/21/09

At the African First Ladies Health Summit, which started on Monday in Los Angeles, one woman stood out... Chantal is the second wife of President Paul Biya of Cameroon. She was born to a French father and a Cameroonian beauty pageant winner. She is famous in Cameroon for her hairstyles. Her signature look even has a name: the banane

Her luxuriant hair caused a stir when we published a picture of her in our pictures of the day gallery. One blogger wrote "all hail the Fierce Ruling First Lady of Cameroon"

Pope Benedict XVI arrives at the presidential palace of Cameroon president Paul Biya and his wife Chantal in Yaounde on March 18, 2009

I bet Carla Bruni isn't used to be upstaged.
