Now it may be a stretch to call these ladies babes, but winning the hearts of the American people and looking the part has been as much of a battle for Ann Romney and Michelle Obama, as much as it has been for their husbands. We take a look at how Ann Romney and Michelle Obama fare when pitted against each other in the style department...

Ann Romney, an all-American blonde, sticks to conservative options as befits her husband's party (Republican). She's often been seen in sheath dresses with matching cardigans (like in the picture) or in skirt suits in solid colours

No less formal, but far more experimental has been Michelle. Already a darling with style watchers, Michelle hasn't been afraid to go with different cuts and prints while still maintaining a poised look

For their respective party conventions, the difference in their individual style mantras was apparent. Michelle opted for a pretty pink dress by American designer Tracy Reese that didn't steer far away from conventional but stood out. On the other hand, Ann chose an Oscar de la Renta shirtdress that fell pretty squarely in the safe zone

We give this round to Michelle, who looks more a woman of the times we live in. Ann style isn't bad, just a little ho-hum. Agree/disagree with us? Let us know in the comments section.
