Michelle Obama may definitely have it going on when it comes to fashion, but Carla Bruni, aka Mrs. Sarkosky, is no slouch in eyes of the world when it comes to looking your best. In addition to her fashion career, the former fashion model has had a successful music career- I haven't heard her, so I can't vouch how much of her success was based on her top-notch looks.

This picture is a personal favorite of mine because I think it's always important for a musician's guitar to match her boots.

She is also rumored to have signed a contract to be in a Woody Allen film. The rumor is unconfirmed as of yet, so don't get too excited, but it definitely does add to her mystique.

 

 

Personally, I think Carla looks better now than she did when she was back on the catwalk. Her face is fuller, hers elbows aren't such a dangerous hazard for people passing by, and she's presumably allowed to wear what she likes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This picture got her noticed for her earrings, but I think what stands out is that she is absolutely stunning in the simplicity of her dress. Contrast that to the emaciated version of her younger self and you can her transition to more beautiful woman.
