With the election nearing, it’s hard to ignore the style of a few of the women in the spotlight — Michelle Obama and Sarah Palin.  

According to Fox News, these women even inspired styles at Paris Fashion Week: 

• “A variation of Palin’s signature beehive-with-bangs hairdo was seen at Yves Saint Laurent’s spring-summer show on Thursday, …although without the bangs.”
• And apparently, Obama has inspired a line of dresses.   “In Paris on Friday, a model wore a short frock featuring a portrait of the Democratic presidential candidate. The creation by French designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac was seen during a presentation of his spring-summer 2009 ready-to-wear collection.”

And as you’ll see below, we just couldn’t resist showcasing items from Salemail that seemed so representative of each of their styles.
