This is not 'new' news. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy scored the coveted cover of September 2008 issue of Vanity Fair. The magazine called her the new Jackie O - and I say, she definitely is. She knows style. She knows glamour. And, she's "imaginative, clever, educated... and knows how to behave" according to the one and only, Karl Lagerfeld. Do check out her photo spread photographed by Annie Leibovitz:
Isn't she stunning? Love the striking red bustier gown.
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, France’s First Lady, strikes a model’s pose on the roof of the Élysée Palace, in Paris.
Aww... this must be l.o.v.e.
“They are hunters who met—predators,” Karl Lagerfeld says of Bruni and Sarkozy. “When two like this meet, it can be good.”
I like a First-Lady who sings and composes. Sexy.

Glamourous Grey Carla Bruni has transformed from an artsy ingenue to the epitome of class and sophistication - bringing 'chic' to world politics. For once, fashionistas are paying the well-deserved attention to the much-neglected fashion market. Guardian reported that Prime Minister Gordon Brown has appointed Bruni to "spearhead a government initiative aimed at injecting more style and glamour into British national life". Don't you think she makes grey looked like the most stylish colour? I love the ribbed wool suit and also the grey wool jersey dress and navy coat. Also, how cute is that tilted beret?

Lovely Evenings We haven't seen much fashion action since Princess Diana or Jackie O. Thank goodness for Carla Bruni! When you're the President's wife, you will internalise the savoir faire required for grand banquets and events. She was seen wearing a "gorgeous silk muslin bustier gown in Bordeaux red to a banquet at the Guildhall". Also, a gown "which featured a bodice with a waterfall of 'mille feuille' ruffles, topped the midnight blue bias cut dress she wore to the state banquet the previous night". Definitely highfalutin'!

The Colour Purple The first ladies, Sarah Brown and Carla Bruni walked in style - but of course, Bruni rocked the colour - purple. She looked strikingly beautiful in her flashy purple coat among the greys and blacks. It seems like all eyes were on Bruni when she took off her purple coat. She also donned a purple slip dress that makes her such an eye candy before her husband's speech.

Shoes Shoes Shoes What shoes does the First Lady wear? Flats! A staple in Bruni's wardrobe. You may ask, where are the heels? I guess love conquers all - she is willing to give up stilettos for flats to match her vertically-challenged husband. Another Tom-Nicole case. That's why I don't date men shorter than me, haha. Her black Dior pumps are soo cute and elegant - not to mention the classic black leather handbag, called The Babe . Anyone notice that Sarkozy is wearing stacked heels?(Photo: Guardian)
Bring on the Union Jack I want this bag! Can someone tell me where she got this from? Hail the Union Jack! Why can't the Malaysian flag be more interesting as a design element?
