We're not gonna evaluate the respective political performances of US President Barack Obama or French President Nicolas Sarkozy here, but we can say their better halves have great tastes in the wardrobe department.
First Lady Michelle Obama met up with French First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy at the D-Day landing memorial ceremony in France this weekend. We're not sure who sent the memo, but both stylicious political mademoiselles matched to a tee in white belted dresses and kitten heels.
Carla (whose nude photo drew $19,600 at a Berlin auction house last week) wore a simple cap-sleeve structured Christian Dior frock, accessorizing it with a thin black belt and black kitten heels.
Michelle Obama didn't disappoint, going very Jackie O like in a Narciso Rodriguez white dress ensemble, adding her personal flare with a thick metallic belt and kitten heels.
Two fashionable First Ladies in white -- designer whites, that is!

On Monday morning, we were the first to point out Barbara Walters' political and style taboos by wearing the same outfit -- a quaint black dress with garish embellishments -- at two high-profile events in a week. And both in the presence of the First Lady Michelle Obama.
Well, things always come in threes and when Barbara Walters hit the red-carpet Monday night for an event at Lincoln Center, take a guess what she wore?
Barbara took to her platform The View this morning to confront the media frenzy surrounding her sartorial selection.
"So beit" Walters said, "the cha-cha in me, I wore the same dress again last night!"
"We've got a bad economy. What, I'm going to buy a new dress for every [occasion]?"
Check out the clip above.
Co-host Sherri Shepherd even chimed, saying "we are in a reccession, you are doing your part."
No word, though, on whether or not the dress was washed!
