The Huffington Post has picked up on a new fashion character who has been haunting us — in a good way — since last week. She is the 39-year-old First Lady of Cameroon, Chantal Biya, and she is like the Lady Gaga Knowles of first ladies — Lady Gowles, if you will. The Huffington Post reports:

In the past, she’s mentioned Dior and Chanel as a few of her favorite European labels, while the traditional African outfits she dons are custom-made, designed, and sewn by tailors … In Cameroon her wardrobe has made her so popular she routinely launches trends and has a hairstyle, the Chantal Biya, named after hair.

She is so diva-fierce we can hardly stand it. She proudly towers above her husband, thanks to her magnificent mane and platform heels. She wore a giant cross-emblazoned, pink-and-white lace origami hat to meet the pope. And she makes Michelle Obama, a considerable fashion risk-taker by Washington standards, look so understated. Chantal’s photo op with with Paris Hilton surely has to be the best bit of publicity that socialite has ever gotten. Seeing how happy she looks holding Paris’s hand almost makes us feel like Paris should make us that happy, too! Almost.

    Comment ne pas être heureuse Mme Biya. Vous avez tout et les autres femmes camerounaises n’ont rien. Vous leur avez tout volé jusqu’à leur bonheur.
    Enfin leur bonheur c’est de vous voir heureuse à leur place. Pour vous voir heureuse, elles oublient tout : cette vie de misère devenue leur lot quotidien, ces enfants malades et jamais conduits à l’hôpital par manque d’argent, les marmites désespérément vides des jours entiers, leur progéniture régulièrement massacrée par votre mari chaque fois qu’elle descend dans la rue pour réclamer pacifiquement les mêmes droits a la nourriture ,à la scolarisation, aux soins médicaux , à la vie comme vos enfants.
    Pas de honte à être heureuse toute seule.
