TwitterMichelle Obama is Vanity Fair's best dressed? Vote for your fave on Dish Rag!
Obama won!
Michelle Obama, that is. Vanity Fair has named presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's wife #1 on its 2008 Best Dressed List, calling her "our commander-in-sheath."
Clever.
Michelle beat out some stiff competition, including designer darling, former model and French First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, presumptive Queen Kate Middleton, "Sex and the City" star Sarah Jessica Parker (this has got to be better than her recent Maxim honors), Oscar-winning actress Tilda Swinton, cosmetics queen Evelyn Lauder, the real Princess Mathilde of Belgium and a few fashionable women you've probably never heard of.
On the male call: Daniel Craig, Matt Lauer, ab fab David Beckham, Kanye West, a couple of real princes and Morley Safer (hunh?), Karl Lagerfeld, who usually wears gloves, no matter the temperature, and Julian Schnabel (who usually wears purple pajamas).
Haute couples included: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Kelly Lynch and Mitch Glazer.

She looks good, Much better then cindy. No offense Cindy just seems so privledged. Upper Class. McCain would look good in a walmart greeter uniform, I believe that would be a job that would suite him. Could you imagine McCain even having enough energy to run your local Mcdonalds. Seriously. Think about it next time your in line watching the Mcdonalds manager run around taking orders and shouting orders. McCain couldnt do it. So I ask You, how will McCain be president??? Looks as though the RNC got behind the wrong candidate and they will pay for it., Guess they should of let the primary season play out without trying to minupulate the outcome. My candidate lost, my vp isnt going to be on the ticket. Wow bummer. Good news is i think McCain is just about done, I wouldnt doubt the GOP ditch him at the last second and run a younger more charasmatic charachter. They could site his Cancer scare as the reason. I dont doubt that they will, Becuase he is becoming more unelectable by the day, with gaff after gaff. Did you see him knock all that stuff off the shelf at the supermarket. the video is at http://www.mccanes.com all the while barack obama is looking like an NBA super star, (arrogence and all) even taking time to stop and have a cigar break video at http://www.theobamaplan.com I mean really what is the GOP going to do. McCain cannot win at this point and we havnt even started the debates.
oh, please. vanity fair is so far to the left they would fall off the map if the world were flat. this is a political choice, pure and simple. she is not pretty, and just dresses in a classic fashion - no real style sense. what have we come to in this world.
Sara's comment is correct - this is an obvious political choice. And John, your comment has nothing to do with the Best-Dressed issue; it's only a mean-spirited attack on John McCain. Get a life.
Michelle Obama always looks stylish and approachable. Cindy McCain, although pretty, looks severe, tight and off-putting.
Ha, ha, ha, LOL! What else can they do? Do they think this might help him on the polls? Don't think so!
How interesting. Did they leave the Beckhams out? They are so classy
Your headline is misleading. They did not name her as best dressed, per se, she is ONE of the best dressed.
As for the others you ask about, some are not so much international as national and not all are that famous outside these borders. The list is international and subjective at best. Lindsay Lohan? OK
I'm no Michelle Obama fan, but I must agree. Cindy dresses stiff and boring (beyond her age). Michelle's style is fashionable and classy, without looking stiff.
Are they serious? lol America is screwed.
You've got to be kidding! Sorry, not even close to best dressed. And what a tacky way to make a political statement!
