First Ladies Dominate Vanity Fair's International Best-Dressed List

They've already gotten the presidential seal of approval, but now three First Ladies have gotten the nod from Vanity Fair.

Michelle Obama, France's Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, and Britain's Samantha Cameron have all been named to the magazine's 71st annual International Best-Dressed List.

Yes, the "maverick" Cameron and her dolphin tattoo made the cut. Deal with it, Carla.

This year's list also honored actresses Diane Kruger -- who cited "anything from Chanel" as her favorite item of clothing -- and "existential pixie" Carey Mulligan.

Also getting some sartorial love? Cover star Lady Gaga, actors Javier Bardem and Alec Baldwin, Ed Burns and wife Christy Turlington, hottie David Beckham, Tory Burch, Stacey Bendet Eisner, John Galliano, Bruce Weber, Georgina Chapman, and... Helena Bonham Carter?!?

Good one, guys.

To see the full list, visit Vanity Fair online or pick up their September issue, out nationally on Aug. 10.

Meanwhile, check out Lady Gaga nude and gray on the Vanity Fair cover.

The only reason she is on it is because her husband is the president.

Ms. Obama can wear any clothes she wants but as far as the face she is just an average looking first lady. She wears too much make up and all made up . Give her one credit she is tall.

I am not a fan of the "first lady" however I do think that she always looks very put together and fashionable.

I was always told "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." So Margery and Joe, I would suggest that you both just shut up and go back under the ugly rock you came out from under. I love Mrs. Obama and think she's doing a wonderful job as First Lady. And yes, I too, am white.

She has worn a few things that I thought were nice but best dressed is a real stretch. I hate those little shrunken looking cardigans she favors.

i am so tired of hearing about Michelle Obama's fashion attire. the woman dresses so tacky! she has no fashion sense at all! someone should tell this woman that she just looks right down horrible. i mean in a way i feel sorry for her. she has no class and definately does not belong in the white house.

Michelle Obama does not even have a nice shape, is not graceful, and certainly should not be named best dressed. Yes, just because her husband is president is why.
Hillary couldn't make it with her pantsuits either.
Someone on here said 'if you can't say something nice,etc...' then they should quit putting people in the public eye to be rediculed. People have a right to their opinion, right or wrong.

mrs.Obama

she would look a lot better if she would trash sweaters,and belts she looks like a tube of toothpaste squezed in the middle. I am white and I like her, just not her style. this is not a critisisem just a sugesten.

I'm glad there are no more people in America who judge solely on race alone. Either you're closet bigots (no indication here, though) or your sense of style, taste and what constitues beauty is skewed by the fact that you judge based upon the ugliness residing in you, allowing it to erupt with the goal of infecting other minds out there. You cannot possibly be a proud American. Who wouldn't want our first lady to be a success?

If she doesn't belong on the best dressed list, then it's mighty funny how J. Crew and any other retailer SELLS OUT of their product if she wears something as minor as a scarf from them. So your opinion is clearly garbage due to the fact that millions of women COPYING her style!!!
