WHICH WIFE WINS IN ZETA JONES VS BRUNI GLAMOUR SHOWDOWN?

And there appeared something of a sartorial showdown between Catherine Zeta-Jones and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy as they attended a glittering awards dinner in New York with their spouses.

Model Carla, wife of French president Nicolas Sarkozy, showed off her willowy figure in an elegant, midnight blue, high-necked dress at the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity Dinner.

While Mrs Michael Douglas opted for va-va-voom in a purple, ruched frock with a plunging neckline.

“However, it demonstrated that Catherine’s once voluptuous hourglass curves have deflated somewhat due to recent weight loss,” noted a style observer.

Game, set and style match to Carla?
