Forbes recently released its list of the World's 100 Most Powerful Women and we noticed that many of them are also the world's most stylish.
Coincidence? We think not. Of course fashion savvy wasn't a deciding factor, but they say the suit makes the man, so why wouldn't the pantsuit (or dress!) make the woman? Here's a rundown of some of the ladies on the list:
Michelle Obama 40: Becoming an instant icon once she moved into the White House, the first lady is a HuffPo Style Section regular and recently made news after wearing shorts. Queen Rania 76: With an outfit for every occasion, Rania's friends include photographer Mario Tesino and model Naomi Campbell.
Angela Merkel 1: She always manages to look dignified, but somehow the German Chancellor's cleavage has taken center stage in Germany's upcoming elections. Hillary Clinton 36: The current Secretary of State has been in the style spotlight for decades, and most recently attempted to bring back the headband. Ruth Bader Ginsburg 48: Lace gloves? Fur hats? Patterns? This Justice makes some daring style decisions when she ditches the robe.
Tarja Halonen 68: As the President of Finland, Tarja's polished look makes her a total ice queen. Nancy Pelosi 35: The Speaker has a suit in every color and a hairstyle to match it. Sonia Sotomayor 55: The newest member of the political style scene has been dubbed Justice Jewelry for her love of chunky pieces.
Yulia Tymoshenko 47: Structured clothing and hair braids demonstrate this Ukranian Prime Minister's unique fashion sense. Queen Elizabeth II 42: Glorious gowns and a lifetime of tiaras set this leader apart from the rest.
