both look almost alike in their styles there,actually! same shaped coats and kitten heels...

but i would give a slight edge to first lady michelle. she can wear j.crew and she can wear stuff that's bit unorthodox like maria cornejo....she takes more risks and i admire her for that.

No winner or loser, they both look lovely in their own way

 

[nyc_art_style]

this is going to be such an awesome thread.

 

[Aoedele]

I like them both. Such strong dynamic women.

 

[LolaSvelt]

Both are so lovely, but I'll have to go with Carla.

 

[Kellz]

Awww, I love both.

Carla. You can't beat the French fashion houses.

I have to give Michelle the win for the Azzedine Alaia though.

Carla's black Dior was a very good look, but her always-flesh-colored legs, extremely flat shoes, and somewhat matronly or staid choices put her at a bit of a disadvantage. There was no high/low, and I felt she looked stiff in the belted suede coat and pancake flat shoes. Except for the lavender coat (very nice) and bag, she wore very little color.

I thought overall Michelle looked completely comfortable and elegant and took more risks ... and perhaps that entitles her to a win.

Fashion Face-Off! Michelle Obama And Carla Bruni-Sarkozy Finally Meet In France (VIDEO, PHOTOS, POLL)

The meeting of first lady fashion forces Carla Bruni-Sarkozy and Michelle Obama has been one of the most highly anticipated get-togethers of the Obamas' European trip this week.

Bruni-Sarkozy, who was spending the day away from her 5'5" husband, wore low heels. She had worn flats all day Friday. Obama, at left, wore black patent leather flats.

Bruni-Sarkozy carried a classic Chanel purse in her signature color

Michelle Obama Gives Carla Bruni-Sarkozy An Acoustic Guitar

The American First Lady presented French First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy with a practical - and very rock 'n' roll - gift: an acoustic Gibson guitar.

Offered "as a sign of friendship', Michelle Obama gave Gibson's Legend model, to Bruni, a former model-turned-singer who is currently in the process of recording her fourth album.

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy Shares Michelle Obama's Passion For Flats (SLIDESHOW)

When Carla Bruni-Sarkozy and Michelle Obama met on Friday in France, they were a study in contrasts: the French first lady sported a gray Dior coat while Obama opted for a brightly colored Thakoon ensemble. But in their everyday lives, the stylish first ladies share one sartorial signature item: a preference for flat footwear.


Granted, both women already stand tall: Michelle Obama is 5'11" while Bruni-Sarkozy, a former model, is said to be 5'9". President Barack Obama stands 6'1" 1/2, but President Nicolas Sarkozy is a mere 5'5", which helps explain why his wife would wear flats.

Both are lovely ladies with awesome style and personnality

 

[aycotqone]

I would have to say Michelle looks amazing in all the outfits and she takes more of a risk in what she wears.

 

[Zposen]

^I have to agree. Carla is prim and proper whereas Michelle takes more risks in terms of color and style...

With that said, I adore Carla's coat in the first pic of #10

 

[waxy]

Both are lovely women, but I'd have to go with Carla

 

[Aoedele]

I can't decide, I like both tremendously.

 

[advo]

I'm going with Carla. Her style is exactly prim and proper and I love it all the more, because she pulls them off. Michelle is wonderful too though.

 

[Deleted member 1957]

didnt know michelle was so tall! Carla used to be a supermodel but shes shorter than her!! I do agree both have awesome style and can teach all the first ladies that you dont have to be frumpy and stuck up to be a first lady.

 

[mari]

I love both of them

 

[jennifer716]

carla for me. michelle does take more risks but that doesn't mean she necessarily has more style or that her style is better.

i think first ladies should be elegant, proper, chic and not try too hard.
i feel like michelle always tries too hard.
