First ladies dressing, Day 4

Wow, they clean up well!


The first ladies (and gentleman) of the G8 Summit leadership looked pretty good while posing for the cameras. I really love Cherie Blair, who seems to be channeling Jackie O with her clean lines, classic bag and flipped shoulder-length hair. Her neighbor, Margarida Sousa Uva, shines with a chic, youthful but classy look. Her mod skirt is light and flowy and matches perfectly with a very simple fitted white jacket. Truthfully, the only two spouses I think could have done a little better are Flavia Franzoni Prodi - who has all the Italian designers in the world she could have fill her wardrobe - whose pink scarf is the only redeeming factor of her grandma-ish suit and Mr. Joachim Sauer who could have pulled out a full suit instead of this blah blazer.

For a quick reference to see who I'm talking about: Left to right, Laureen Harper wife of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Russia's First Lady Ludmila Putina, the wife of Italian Prime Minister Romana Prodi, Flavia Franzoni Prodi, U.S. First Lady Laura Bush, the husband of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Joachim Sauer, Cherie Blair, wife of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Margarida Sousa Uva, wife of EU Commission President Jose Manue Barroso and Akie Abe, wife of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pose for a group picture during the program for the partners of the G8 leaders at 'Burg Schlitz' a palace in the village Hohen Demnzi about 62 miles southeast of Heiligendamm on Thursday.
