Michelle Obama And Carla Bruni Fashion Face-Off

Well what a week! G20, protesters, Shearer back at Newcastle…

What could possible over shadow all of that? you should have guessed by now that it was the Fashion Face Off on Friday between Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.

After the UK played hosts to the G20 and and the Obama’s first official foreign trip, It was off to Strasbourg, France for the 60th anniversary Gathering of the NATO alliance.

But the fashion super powers were there side by side to win the fashion war, and for Michelle especially to do it in France, Fashions backyard!

On Friday Morning, Michelle and Carla stood side by side in contrasting apparel, as it was outdoors they both chose to wear coats, and as Michelle went for a confident business look with a fun twist with a piece from yet another young up and coming designer, Carla in contrast plumbed for the safe and cautious route with her fave Dior.

Michelle’s coat which had a black background with a floral foreground pattern of pink poppies, featuring a ruched neck which Mrs Obama had loosely tied. It was teamed nicely with low heeled patent leather shoe.

Carla on the other hand stuck to a more traditional Dior soft grey coat, with three quarter length sleeves. She chose a matching scarf around her neck and similar heels to Michelle.

During the afternoon, Michelle surprised us further by having a matching dress to the coat she wore earlier,only it was a pink back ground to the foreground of black poppies, the dress had a trendy slit neck and the hem and cuff were in contrasting black matching the flower print.

Carla’s dress was a little of an anti climax however, as yet again it was in her now predictable grey! with a silk button patterned panel on the front, giving the illusion of a two piece.

I suppose that was probably the difference between the two in our opinion, where Carla stuck to her comfort zone and the grey dior-esque style we’ve become accustomed to, Michelle was confident, with an ever so subtle twist which lifted her look.

Plus with a new designer label, she again showed how she can break down the fashion barriers, with a new attitude towards how she as the first lady is meant to look.

We think that Michelle Obama is not stopping in her fashion trail blazing, whether its high street Fashion label of J.Crew, or the one off pieces from other wise relative unknown fashion designers. She will continue to draw attention and set trends in the coming years.
