Michelle Obama - the brains behind the Barack Obama campaign machine — is always impeccably dressed and elegantly appointed when she steps out. So it is no surprise that she tops Vanity Fair’s 2008 Best Dressed list - a major achievement for a non-celebrity. VF even referred to Michelle as “our commander-in-sheath.” That means they’re really smitten with her.
But get this: rapper Knaye West also made the Best Dressed list on the male side (!) How did he make anyone’s best dressed list, I ask? Were the judges drunk when they made their selections? Vanity Fair might as well name Pharrell Williams and T.I. to the best dressed list if Knaye made the list.

they say she’s the next Jackie O and i’m not mad at her..oh Kanye and the tight jeans..havemercy
I like the Michelle Obama but she is no Jackie-O, Kanye West is one of the best dressed males in the game right now.
excuse my typo
Who is Jackie-O?
I like Mrs. Obama’s style … she always looks respectable and stylish.
Kanye looks good 7 out of 10 times, I can’t get w/ those tight bottoms though. Fitted is ok … but tight is DEF NOT!
Good Morning all!
Yeah she is no Jackie O, she is Michelle Obama and she don’t need a comparison.I guess what they trying to say she is the most stylish presidential candidate since Jackie O will be more appropriate.
Kanye best dress?Lord, who made up that lie?He dress like these kids out here, no originality what so ever.None.
@ Iyonah .. Jackie Onassis was a Former First Lady. She was Married to Pres. John F. Kennedy who was assiniated On the Grassy Knoll in Tx at the Book Despository … she later married Greek shipping Tycoon A. Onassis.
and she was considered by many has a Fashion Icon she was said to have had Impeccable style and grace … White folk Loved her sense of style and elegance.
thanks @ Kymystry — for the info … I really didn’t feel like looking up the info(still sleepy)
Well Sandra, Kanye does have his own little swag goin on, like it or not
I have seen several people attempting to talk about how he wears tight jeans and tight shirts, but then they turn around and try and rock the same or similar look (i.e. Jim Jones)
oh good lawd let me explain..first of all you can’t stop comparisons..PERIOD..for some to actually say she is the next Jackie O is a hell of a compliment..the woman embodied class, sophistication and style..EVERYTHING that Michelle is made of..if white media wants to liken her to JFK’s wife so be it..we can’t stop it and i’d rather read about that then someone says she reminds them of dowdy ass Laura..get over it
Kanye, dresses like a metro sexual teen-ager.
@ Sharonda Says: Yeah she is no Jackie O, she is Michelle Obama and she don’t need a comparison

Well said. Exactly my sentiments. I wonder if the comparison is along of the lines of both their styles being timeless classic….
yes ggouch..that’s the only reason for the comparison..it started when she was on the view and carried on from there..people are blowing it out of proportion
knowing kanye he probably paid vanity fair money to list him.. or better yet, if he hadnt been listed he probably wouldve thrown a hissy fit. man, i liked kanye back in 2003-2004.. then when he got big, so did his head and ego.
Congrats to the first lady for making the best dressed list.
As far as Kanyes SR you was trying to cope the LV backpack which means you like his taste, which means he can dress from time to time. Look how many people started wearing those ugly Stronger shades he had on…
But TI could of def been on the list
Yeah she is no Jackie O, she is Michelle Obama and she don’t need a comparison.

I so agree with you I’m tired of people comparing every damn body’s fashion taste to Jackie O, hell she isn’t the only woman in the world that knows how to dress..I think Michelle has her own style.
Oh yea, I forgot to add Kanye looks like a damn clown with that big ass back pack on like he’s going out of space, I hate men in tight jeans that’s not sexy at all, he must have really small nuts to pull that off..I don’t know any brotha who is seriously packing that can tolerate nut hugging pants.
