Has Carla Bruni turned shy? French First Lady's awkward moment as she leans in to kiss Barack Obama... then changes her mind
03rd April 2009
Over the last few days Barack Obama has charmed the entire world.
And today it appeared his charisma overwhelmed the French First Lady.
It is usual in France to greet one another with a kiss - but the best Mr Obama could get out of a suddenly flustered Carla Bruni was a handshake.

Ms Bruni appeared to lean in to kiss the president's cheek as she greeted him on his arrival in Strasbourg for a Nato summit today.
But when Mr Obama did not seem to reciprocate, she hesitated then quickly backtracked, settling for the handshake and a smile instead.
The slightly awkward moment did not mar the pomp and pageantry in Strasbourg this morning as the G20 circus rolled into London - and the two most glamourous First Ladies in the world faced off against one another.
Demurely dressed in matching ***** bow jackets, Michelle Obama and Ms Bruni posed up together with their husbands in front of cheering crowds.

Self-conscious Sarko? The notably short French president attempts to live up to the rest of the party by standing on tiptoe
Carla, wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, had stuck to signature neutrals while American First Lady Michelle opted for a vibrant floral patterned coat.
She later shed the coat to reveal a brilliant magenta dress with a metallic sheen by Thakoon.
The double-hemmed dress was of Italian silk and cost £999 - an upping of the fashion ante by Mrs Obama, who wore JCrew while with Sarah Brown in London.
The Obamas were greeted by a military band and an honour guard of soldiers dressed in full military regalia.
They were cheered by hundreds of people who had gathered outside the Palais Rohan for the state visit.
Dare to bare: Michelle Obama shows some leg as she chats to Carla Bruni before lunch at Palais Rohan
Eyes of the world: Both Michelle and Carla generate huge amounts of attention wherever they go
Who takes the title of ultimate first wife still remains to be decided - though round one, the G20 summit in London, was a clear win for Michelle, simply because Carla did not turn up.
The official line was that French president Nicolas Sarkozy's wife had wanted some quiet time in Paris.
But there have been claims that Carla only avoided attending because she was used to being the centre of attention, and was not enthused about joining 16 other First Ladies at the same time
‘As a model and pop star Carla always likes being the focus of people’s attention,’ a Paris source said.
‘She knows Michelle will the First Lady everybody is interested in, and that’s one of the reason she’s snubbed London.’
On Saturday Carla and Michelle are expected to pose at the city's cathedral while their husbands and other NATO leaders talk business.
The pair will be encouraged to ‘break away’ from other leaders' partners during a walk-about which also includes a visit to a cancer research institute.
‘We very much hope that the two First Ladies will be pictured together in our Gothic cathedral,’ said a Strasbourg tourist office spokesman.
Earlier in the week, Michelle Obama joined 15 other presidential spouses for the G20 in London.
The wives were hosted by Gordon Brown's wife Sarah who had worked out a schedule, organising a range of activities including a meal in Downing Street cooked by Jamie Oliver and a trip to Buckingham Palace.
The Sarkozys and Obamas were cheered by crowds which had gathered in the French city ahead of the Nato summit
Statuesque: Carla Bruni is known for wearing flat shoes but probably wished she had picked heels to stand next to the towering Michelle
Back in Paris, Carla Bruni could be seen looking unusually severe and smoking a cigarette at lunch in Paris.
In what was viewed as a snub to Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his wife, Sarah, the 41-year-old supermodel-turned-pop-singer was enjoying a ‘quiet day’ at home in Paris.
Rather than supporting her own husband, President Nicolas Sarkozy, Carla chose to enjoy a bit of 'me time' at the couple’s £3million town house close to Paris’s Bois de Boulogne.
Sizing each other up: The pair wore matching *****-bow jackets but in very different shades

As always when talking about a public figure, you have to put things in context: you need to know that Sarkosy is perceived as the 'president of the wealthy' because of his friends and politics. Spending more in a few days than most French people earn in one year doesn't look good when only this month 8 000 people have lost their jobs (they didn't pay personally, but that's still bad PR).
Personally I don't think the problem wasn't that they stayed in a luxury villa (though they made things look bad by trying to hide the holidays like a dirty little secret). The problem was that the stay was paid by a Mexican businessman strongly suspected of laundering drug money, and they tried to cover-up that info. That's unacceptable.
Otherwise, I have to say the Mexico trip was Carla's best so far fashion wise. I loved every-single one of her outfits.
I don't like how stiff the top front of the dress she wears during the lebanon diner looks. The general shape of the dress is great though.

What is that style of the Dior handbag she's carrying? I know she also has one in black.
