Stylewatch @ the African First Ladies Summit 2013 hosted by Michelle Obama and Laura Bush

The first ladies of Africa came together with  Michelle Obama and Laura Bush on Tuesday, kicking off the two-day African First Ladies Summit in Tanzania. Hosted by the George W. Bush Institute, the summit focuses on the health, economic empowerment, and education for African women -- and it's a rare occasion for many of the continent's impressive first ladies to come together on one stage.

Even as the group discussed weighty issues, the importance of appearance -- specifically, the scrutiny of first ladies' appearances, was on everyone's minds. The current FLOTUS and Mrs. Bush joked about the pressure:
MRS. OBAMA: But being able to pursue our passions and do things that not only help our country and connect us with the rest of the world, it's a great privilege. So while people are sort of sorting through our shoes and our hair -- (laughter) -- whether we cut it or not -- MRS. BUSH: Whether we have bangs.
MRS. OBAMA: Whether we have bangs. (Laughter.) Who would have thought? I didn't call that one. (Laughter.)
MRS. BUSH: I said that just because our daughter, Barbara, cut bangs at the same time Michelle did. They commiserated --
MRS. OBAMA: I was doing what Barbara was doing. (Laughter.) I was just following her lead. But we take our bangs and we stand in front of important things that the world needs to see. And eventually, people stop looking at the bangs and they start looking at what we're standing in front of.
MRS. BUSH: We hope.
MRS. OBAMA: They do, and that's the power of our roles.
And now let's checkout their diverse array of fashion below:

Prada cast a black model for the first time in TWO DECADES


Malaika Firth, a Kenyan-born, U.K.-raised model, is one of seven in the new ad campaign, starring alongside the likes of industry heavyweight Christy Turlington and Chinese model Fei Fei Sun.

Prada rarely hires Asian and black models so the 19-year-old's inclusion in the campaign is something of a milestone.

Between Campbell's runway appearance in 1993, and 2008, when Jourdan Dunn took to the catwalk, Prada had no black models in any of its women's runway shows.

Jenna Sauers, a writer from Jezebel.com, wrote: 'As we've documented repeatedly on this website, the fashion industry as a whole has a number of problems with race - whether it's the under-representation of models of color on the world's biggest runways, or the spate of ignorant but widely copied trends, like blackface references in editorials.

'Perhaps no single brand has embodied near-total whiteness more than Prada. What made the company finally hire a black model for its seasonal ad campaign? Prada isn't saying. Let's hope it won't be 19 years before we see another.'
