C’est fantastique!: Michelle Obama topples Carla Bruni on French Elle’s best dressed list

Even the fashion-forward French seem to be saying “ooh la la” to first lady Michelle Obama’s sense of style.

In this year’s best dressed list by French Elle, Madame Obama grabbed top honors in the “politique chic” category, beating out France’s own first lady, Carla Bruni.

This is the second year a foreign first lady topped the former model, who is married to French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Last year Syria’s first lady, Asma Assad, got the nod.
