Michelle Obama tops Vanity Fair's international style icon poll

Yes, it's the possible future first lady coming in by a thread. Michelle Obama has topped the international style icon poll done by Vanity Fair for the 69th year in a row! That means this isn't your average People's Best Dressed Celeb list, this poll holds some weight.

We love the choice of Michelle as numero uno. She proves that you don't have to dress flashy or super trendy to get noticed. We love how she always chooses classic suits in updated silhouettes. She keeps her political image squeaky clean by never wearing anything too revealing or over the top, yet she'll spice up a long conservative black dress with some funky jewelry.

Vanity Fair's international style icons

(click thumbnails to view gallery)

  • Sarah Jessica Parker
  • Kate Middleton
  • Carla Bruni-Sarkozy
  • Ivanka Trump
  • Diana Taylor

If she and her husband Barack make it to the White House, we look forward to continuing the style watch!

Are you kidding? The list also includes Ivanka Trump. The list is no more compelling than US Weekly's. Give us a break.

Michelle Obama's face is too aggressive. She looks like a man. She's built like a man. She reminds me of a fag in drag. I don't want my first lady to look like that.
