Now what would the young, hot, It Girl of the moment have in common with our potential First Lady Michelle Obama? Both made People’s List of Best Dressed Stars of 2008.

Once the 20 year-old Bajan beauty cut her hair first to the much copied angled bob and later to the style Halle used to rock back in the 90s, she has become a striking style icon. And it seems that her fashion choices have gotten better and bolder. I just hope that she doesn’t follow the lead of other singers and do the obligatory clothing line. (I don’t know about you but House of Dereon is not right).

In contrast, Michelle Obama knows how to rock clean lines that have a little something extra.Loved the details on the dresses she wore at the Democratic National Convention. But whether she is wearing Maria Pinto (the Chicago designer she is known to favor) or a more affordable frock (like the one she wore on The View from White House Black Market) she makes it look rich. The secret is in how she carries herself. Grace, poise and confidence are something that will never go out of style.

So it is not only that clothes make the women but it’s the attitude you have while you wear them. Think of that the next time you get dressed in the morning.
