Politicians cutting across party lines are making quiet a fashion statement to woo their voters.

Here we bring you a list of politicians who have made an impression on voters' minds with their unique sartorial choices. Style statement by foreign politicians BARACK OBAMA The most powerful man on earth, Barack Obama, the president of the US, is a style icon. In fact, he has taught men across the world how to wear the suits perfectly. He was never seen in an ill-fitted or a bulky jacket. Obama's style statement is simple, yet powerful. Over the years, his wife Michelle has also evolved as a fashionista, making them a perfect couple. HINA RABBANI KHAR The stylish former foreign minister of Pakistan, Hina Rabbani Khar creates a fashion buzz wherever she travels. Be it her black Hermes' Birkin or Jimmy Choo heels, Hina has an impeccable wardrobe. In her classic salwar-kameez, Hina comes across as an epitome of grace; so what if her foreign policies measures did not do much to help uplift Pa k i s t a n's image at the inter national podium. NARENDRA MODI BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate definitely knows what it takes to be a mass leader. It is not just his powerful speeches, but Narendra Modi is also s y n o ny m o u s with buttonedup half-sleeve kurta also known as 'Modi kurta' among his large fan following. Latest we hear is that the wellgroomed leader will soon be seen in a Pathani kurta also. RAHUL GANDHI The scion of Gandhi family is mostly seen in white kurtapajama and half-sleeve jacket in public places. Considered as one of India's most eligible bachelors, Rahul is often seen sporting facial hair — from a stubble to a beard — and is known to have a huge female following. PRIYANKA GANDHI She is yet to make a formal political plunge, but Priyanka is a favourite among fashion designers for her impeccable style quotient. The youth icon who is mostly seen flaunting designer khadi sarees has also been photographed wearing western outfits.
