The ballots are in, and the inductees in Vanity Fair's 70th Annual International Best Dressed List include the President and First Lady, along with celebrities like Brad Pitt, Daniel Craig, Kelly Ripa, Carla Bruni, Anne Hathaway and Penelope Cruz. Renee Zellweger will be added to the Best Dressed Hall of Fame along with Catherine Deneuve.

The esteemed list, just announced on VanityFair.com, also includes, perhaps not so surprisingly, a bunch of fashion industry favorites -- Tory Burch, Rachel Roy, Georgina Chapman, Bruce Weber, Stacey Bendet of Alice + Olivia, and Natalia Vodianova and Justin Portman on the Best Dressed Couples List.

So, what do you think? Did Vanity Fair miss anyone? Leave a comment with your vote!

Michelle Obama has horrible taste. She needs to remember that she represents the whole United States and the teen's of America. If he were still live I wonder what Mr. Blackwell would say.

I could not agree with you more!

To say that Michele Obama has style is so far out in left field no one can see it!

The MOST elegant First Lady we ever had was Jackie Kennedy. She not only had style, but charm, grace, beauty, intelligence, culture, refinement and class. Mrs. Regan was also a classy First Lady. But to put "MO" in that same category is blasphemous!!!!!

Sarah Palin was the best dressed political female of ALL TIME!!!! She deserves more respect from the media, and mainstream liberal America. She was the highest-rated governor, in the U.S., with an approval rating of 85%, before she was "thrown to the wolves" in the press, by the McCain camp. She deserved to have those so-called "expensive clothes" purchased by the R.N.C., which is NOT taxpayer funded; and I honestly believe she should have kept those clothes, because I think she looked fabulous in them; and in my opinion: she put M.O. to shame!!!!! Thank you.

Happy Guy, Why did you reply to my post addressing "haters"? Could it be perhaps, that you know you are one? By the way, sharing an opinion does not make you a hater, but the tone of said opinion does. You go on to say that "I don't have an opinion of my own on anything except my own ego" How do you know this? Do you know me? Your name calling, "uninformed dummy", and obvious emotion on this shallow subject speaks volumes about you and your kind.
I hope you do have a good day, but somehow I doubt that you will, your misery shines through in your post. Maybe you should spend your time searching for peace and fulfillment in your own life, and working on your ability to compose a grammatically correct sentence. Peace and Blessings

Hi Haters!!!!! I'd love to see what you hags look like, since you have more fashion sense than the editors of Vanity Fair. It's soooo sad to see women filled with such hate and envy; I hope you're not raising daughters!!!!

To: Confidence: (obviously none) Sharing an opinion on a liberal blog-site, makes a hater, it does not. If you had an opinion of your own, on anything, other than your own ego, you wouldn't take offense, to a total stranger, who makes a remark on someone, you will never meet in your whole life. You my friend, are just an un-informed dummy; and that is my opinion, of you. Have a wonderful day. I will! Bye!

Fortunately we hags do not represent the US...however, we do expect the 1st lady to look great and represent our country. That is why she is in the White House, has special designers, hair and make-up people etc.

P.S. Your taxes pay for the above, so that being said you should be able to expect only the best.

Shouldn't there be some kind of outrage that she is making the best dressed list on (1) clothes purchased from the WH First Lady budget tax money, or (2) that she is accepting giftls from designers so that they can sell them based on her wearing them (marketing for private firms). We had this incredible outrage in the media about Sara Palin wearing clothes purchased by the GOP (because she is not a millionaire) and were not bought with tax money...why is the question not even being asked. Double standard perhaps?
