Barack and Michelle Obama edged out Hollywood stars on Vanity Fair’s International Best-Dressed List.
The president made the list for the first time in issues that hit newsstands Wednesday, joining the first lady, who has been named twice before.
The Obamas weren’t the only stylish political dressers named. French First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy made the list along with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his companion, Diana Taylor.
No longer on the list is Angelina Jolie, although Brad Pitt remains, based on the poll of fashion insiders. Other stars getting the honor are Penelope Cruz, Anne Hathaway and “James Bond” star Daniel Craig.
