She is a grandmother of seven who looks better in skinny jeans and a pair of stilettos than most women half her age.
As the French president's wife, you might expect Brigitte Macron's (64) slim figure and ageless beauty to have had a helping hand from a rigid diet of green juices and turmeric lattes in lieu of actual food; daily hot yoga sessions and regular hydrafacials in her suite at the Elysée Palace. Or maybe not.
Because while Madame Macron's look is impressively age-defying, it was revealed this weekend that deep down she is a thoroughly old-fashioned girl. Her secret? Ten kinds of fruits and vegetables every day, and a healthy dose of cheese and wine when she fancies
Mme Macron isn't afraid of showing off her legs and appears to be slim and strong, without looking gaunt or over sinewy. When visiting Paris recently, Donald Trump commented she looked "in such good shape".
Creepy observations from world leaders aside, Mme Macron does, it has to be said, look to be in incredible shape. 'Le Look' Vogue has named her look "Chic Bobo aesthetic" (she's all slim-cut navy tailoring, low-heeled shoes, shiny-but-not-obviouslycoiffed hair) and Delphine de Canecaude, a Paris-based art director, described her as a "mega wonderwoman".
"She's rock 'n' roll," she told L'Express. "Not for a second does she say, 'I'm 64, so I cannot wear short skirts'. Twelve-inch heels, sleeveless dresses, leather trousers, she dares everything." Brigitte Macron's style has been classic and sophisticated through her recent trip to India.
French President and first lady, Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte Macron arrived in India on Friday, 9th of March, for a four-day visit. While Prime Minister, Narendra Modi and French President, Macron were busy striking deals, Brigitte Macron, former teacher turned French First Lady was making some statements of her own - except in the fashion world. Other than for all her philanthropic work, the first lady impressed many with her choice of outfits during her three days in New Delhi as well as her trip to the Taj Mahal in Agra
All through her trip so far, the French First Lady stuck to wearing clean, classic and straight silhouettes. Her wardrobe for the trip (that reportedly consists of a lot of Louis Vuitton), was made up of spring/summer colours and fabrics, ranging from pastels for the day to lace for the evening.
On her arrival in India, Brigitte Macron wore black pants and a shirt, with a powder pink blazer on top. She carried a pink bag to match her blazer. Even after a long haul flight, her perfectly blow-dried hair and chic yet simple choice of clothes had her looking faultless.
For their ceremonial reception at the Rashtrapati Bhavan followed by their visit to the Rajghat, Brigitte Macron opted for a pastel pink shift dress, yet again with a matching pink bag. She kept her hair and makeup simple and chic much like the day of her arrival as well.
Proceeding to the dinner hosted at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, the First Lady chose a lace evening gown with cut out shoulders. She carried a cream stole and a black Roger Vivier clutch. Instead of leaving her hair open this time, Brigitte Macron opted for a side-parted elegant bun.
