Carla Bruni stars on the cover of this month’s Vanity Fair,
Vanity Fair’s International Best-Dressed List is an excruciating pleasure. For the socially ambitious, reading it is the fashion equivalent of having hot wax drizzled over you by a fetishistic lover. You protest, you contort your face, but in the end you have to know what it feels like to go on. Maybe it is too easy to suggest this annual exercise should be renamed the “International Brown-Nose List.” The model and singer Carla Bruni has been dressing herself successfully at least since her years on the catwalk. But in February she became the First Lady of France—a position that may not affect her innate style, but makes her immeasurably more useful to the editors of Vanity Fair. Bienvenue sur la liste, madame!
But there is a lot to enjoy in this year’s line-up, much of it between the lines. Julia Koch is coyly described only as “mother of three,” but you can also call her Mrs. Billionaire David Koch.
Now, that’s cool.
