Now that Nancy Pelosi has become Speaker of House, she is being graded not just on her politics but also on her fashion.

The Washington Post noted that, when she made her debut, "Pelosi had to decide how a woman who will be second in line of sucsession to the presidency should look".

Pelosi responded to the challenge with a power suit accessorized with a beautiful strand of multi color pearls (hopefully they were real :)...).

I guess pearl jewelry isn't just in style, it has now entered the political arena as well!

At a recent premiere in London Rihanna was spotted in a black jumpsuit, opera length lace gloves, & laced in a pile of pearls. What more can you expect from the fashion icon that is Rihanna!? GOOD job to whomever the make-up artist is as well!
