Michelle Obama among 10 best dressed women: People magazine

LOS ANGELES (AFP) — Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama, has made People magazine's list of the year's top ten best dressed women.

"Politics may be tougher than ever, but Obama has wowed along the campaign trail with confidence, in polished looks that bring to mind a famous former first lady," wrote People in an apparent reference to Jacqueline Kennedy.

At 44, the tall, athletic former lawyer was the most senior woman on the magazine's annual list.

"Sticking mainly to favorite hometown designers like Maria Pinto, who crafted her sleek purple sheath, Obama has also tried new looks by Isabel Toledo and jeweler Tom Binns for campaign fund-raisers," the magazine wrote.

The list also includes Barbados-born singer Rihanna, pop star Fergie from the "Black Eyed Peas" and Oscar winners Gwyneth Paltrow and Charlize Theron, as well as the star of "Sex and the City," Sarah Jessica Parker.

Eleanor Roosevelt, served time in the 'time out' chair, too. As has Laura Bush for saying she probably wouldn't have voted for GWB if she had not been married to him.

I'm not sure why Michelle's disappeared. It was good they had her focusing on military families.

I think family matters and maternal duties took precedence over the national campaign.

Weren't they on their last cover w/that woman?

I went to law school with her, though I didn't know her beyond knowing her name, and she was not the incredibly beautiful and elegant woman that she is today. She is drop=dead gorgeous today. Brains, style and class will tell and she is proof.

... look like haute couture if it was on them.

Michelle Obama wears simple classic lines and uncluttered jewelry on her tall slender frame, and carries herself with grace and poise.

She backs up this first impression with formidable intelligence and experience.

the wonderful Rosalynn Carter. Both women have intelligence, beauty, and a graceful presence.

designers are just itching to have her wear their clothes.

Instead, Michelle dresses in the price range of middle class people most of the time.
