French First Lady's Turns Heads In New York City

French cruller Carla Bruni (seen here handshaking Mayor of New York) was one sweet sight everywhere she went in Manhattan yesterday, reported NYPost.The sexy model-turned-singer first performed her duties as France's first lady by attending meetings at the United Nations with her president hubby, Nicolas Sarkozy. She then left the world leaders to catch up on current events. After returning to her Upper East Side hotel for a quick rest and outfit change out of a demure, pinstriped skirt suit, she reappeared in the evening looking ready to turn plenty of heads.

One of the men in her sights was Mayor Bloomberg, to whom she gave dazzling smile as she entered an Appeal of Conscience Foundation event at The Waldorf-Astoria. Hizzoner couldn't contain himself, reaching out his hand from receiving line to greet her as she approached him wearing an above-the-knee, black dress that showed off her shapely legs. Bloomberg landed the foundation's Public Service Award; her husband took home its World Statesman prize.

Bruni and Sarkozy came to Manhattan for the UN session, where Sarkozy addressed world leaders on behalf of the European Union. But his wife has been the real star as she tooled around the city looking like a glamour queen.
