Fashion and Politics

With the recent state visit of President Barack Obama just gone, he looked much at ease serving up burgers at the Downing Street barbecue and giving a speech in his white tie tuxedo at a dinner party thrown by Queen Elizabeth.

All eyes were on him to see how well he got on with David Cameron and also the cameras were watching their wives to determine their relationship and also to see what these leading ladies were wearing.

As with any formal engagement the cameras are often scrutinising what the leading lady or the leader’s wife has chosen to wear, which causes her to be meticulous in her clothing choice to avoid any criticism in the media.

This particular lady can often be hailed as a style icon as we have recently seen by the fashion obsession with Kate Middleton since the royal wedding, but at the same time she can be accused of spending too much or too little money on her clothing and thus subjected to a barrage of criticism.

So at WhatBestToWear we have taken a look at some stylish women at the helm or beside the helm of politics.

Fashion and Politics Queen ElizabethQueen Elizabeth

As the current monarch of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, Queen Elizabeth has had to play it safe in terms of fashion since she was born, as the prospect of becoming Queen became more apparent.

A lover of pastel dresses twinned with fitted jackets and a hat on Royal engagements and a headscarf and rain mac for informal occasions or walking her corgis, the Queen’s style is instantly recognisable.


Michelle Obama

Fashion and Politics Michelle ObamaThe current president’s wife has had her wardrobe analysed since her husband began running for the role as the ‘most powerful man in the world’.

Now stationed as first lady in the US, Michelle’s style is very prim and neat. Being a tall lady she often favours kitten heels and flat shoes which she mixes with colourful suits and dresses.


Fashion and Politics Carla BruniCarla Bruni

As a former model, singer and now the French president’s wife, Carla Bruni has the tall and toned figure to wear anything.

Simplicity is the key to Carla’s wardrobe and she likes fitted shift frocks or Roland Mouret style dresses.



Camilla Parker Bowles

Fashion and Politics Camilla Parker BowlesCamilla’s style has definitely evolved over the years from country bumpkin to glamorous.

As we have seen at the many royal engagements she now attends, Camilla always looks groomed and radiant in her usual pale pastel suits, contrary to the country attire she so often wore a few years back.


Fashion and Politics Samantha CameronSamantha Cameron

SamCam has recently been spotted lapping up the sun in her bikini in Ibiza. Despite being the mother of four children, Samantha’s body is slim, fit and healthy.

Also not one to shy away from anything too bold, Samantha has made many appearances wearing daring colours such as orange which she wore when debuting her daughter Florence to the media and it was also the colour of her accessories for the royal wedding.
