For Sure Qatar Sunshine

Doees anyone think that Sheika looks like Ava Gardner? She exudes sex-appeal but Carla is classier.

[karela]

Carla looked classy and beautiful. The Sheika was covered with too much stuff and it felt like trying too hard with too much money. Carla was classic elegance---as she always is. More stuff doesn't necessarily mean better dressed. I also thought the poll was a bit one sided. I only remember one picture that focused on Carla. The Sheika was in all the rest and she was the only one present in several. What were Carla's shoes like? What did the back of her dress look like? Her hair was more attractive than that turban, but we got featured photos of the turban. If Huff Post just wants to tell us what they think without asking what we think, then just do that. Don't do subtle weighting to influence the results of the poll.

Carla does for sure look classy and beautiful but sheikha look as classy and beautiful if not better... I viewed the photos and both appear in all and focus was on both equally but I think as sheikha Moza looks more beautiful you eyes were just focused on her and you didn't see the other lady ;) Carla's dress has no much details unlike Sheikha's dress... anyhow sheikha Moza doesn't need to be compared to anyone and everyone can have his openion about anyone... we love her soooooooooooooooooo much and we have so much respect for her and we admire her for who she is and what she did for our country along with Sheikh Hamad... god bless them both :)

The Sheika is prettier.

[hydeparksq]

love Carla's dress...but the Sheika exudes more glam...

[twistedrascal]

Sheikha mousa is beautiful and what elegant style.....can't say the same for the f a t hubby. and Carla is always stunning

[Ohsherri]

It's amazing..
I always leave these "Style" sites knowing so much more about 'people'.
You know who you are....
Thank-you, :)

[Jeanette Ponder]

I can't decide. They're both absolutely stunning women. It's like choosing between vanilla mousse and tiramisu, LOL. You can't!

[Sebbybear]

Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa wins hands down with his fetching black silk organza over-frock.

[corkonian]

Agreed! Though the two husbands kind of look like a circus act compared with their elegant wives..

[TanzaniteDiamonds]

Does she have long hair or short hair, since we can't see it? Does anyone know?

[ARTIST50]

Carla is beautiful.

[riff4u]

The women look great. Both men could use a makeover. I didn't know Sarkozy was such a little runt.

[michaleenflynn]

Height is not something we can choose.

[hydeparksq]

poor thing...you must be short. that's ok :)

[Cakey4814]

I was wondering how long down the blog would Michelle Obama be mentioned. The hate for MO by some people is just amazing. She has absolutely nothing to do with this article and yet she's criticized. Get over the hate..it doesn't look good.

[Judyisacutie]

I vote for the Sheihka. That's a look I've never seen before and I think she looks stunning.

[Marnieblue]

Carla looks perfect. That necklace is as sexy as the dress.

[Judyisacutie]

But I can't figure out why the Europeans are wearing evening dress during the day.

[sjm55]

I guess it could still be evening, but still light out. It is the summer time. Can't think of any other reason.

[geoff74024]

Sunset in Paris during the summer today is at 21:58. That is 9:58 pm at night. Northern Europe has long nights during the summer. Summer solstice was just 5 days ago.

[hydeparksq]

It's light until 11pm here in Europe...

Yikes, you couldn't pay me enough to be married to a big fat guy who wears a robe, I'd rather be a poor gal!

[Darkarrows Alnajdi]

first it's not a robe
second that guy is married to 3 women
third he has alot of children
forth he has alot of money
fifth he didn't ask u to marry him so it's not ur right to judge
sixth yes hes fat but he's a great presedent
seventh he's very very humble and dispite his rank he is living like a normal husband
eighth he's our presedent and WE LOVE HIM and shi5ah moza too

[Margaret Gigliotti]

Right on. I agree with every point and shall we add that the beauty that they both possess inside far exceeds their outer beauty. I love what they've done for Qatar! It's not all about how much a person weighs.
