Brigitte Macron Pulls Off a Subtle Skin Reveal in the Global Spotlight
Last night in Paris, France's First Lady Brigitte Macron hosted South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in and wife Kim Jung-sook for a formal state dinner at the Elyseé Palace. As she is wont to do, Macron chose Nicolas Ghesquière for Louis Vuitton for the occasion, but the look offered a bit of a surprise: the midnight blue gown featured subtle cut-outs that framed her decolletage, providing a cool alternative to more traditional mock or crewnecks.
While the First Lady has remained sartorially faithful to Louis Vuitton, this certainly isn't the first time she's pushed the eveningwear envelope. Just last month, when hosting the Japanese Prime Minister at Versailles, Macron wore a modified A-line dress in a metallic brocade that paid tribute to Asian culture. Any Macron style-devotee has noticed a micro-trend emerge: metallic accents. In September, she wore a tomato-red daytime dress with gold buttons darting the waist, and she wore a mod A-line mini dress with exposed hardware over the summer. Indeed, Macron's only accent last night was a built-in chain-link belt, which gave her look its signature edge.
Brigitte Macron Steps Out in a Bold New Color
French First Lady Brigitte Macron joined Norway’s Queen Sonja earlier today in Rouen, just outside of Paris, to take a tour of Pierre Corneille high school. For the occasion, the French First Lady slipped into a sleek daytime dress by Louis Vuitton in a surprisingly bold shade of a tomato red.
Madame Macron’s wardrobe is composed of streamlined silhouettes designed primarily by Nicolas Ghesquière and today’s A-line shape is one she has sported in a more muted palette of black, white, and navy in the past. The long-sleeved dress was an autumnal-friendly change from the cap and short sleeve styles Macron has worn in the last few months and lent a prim touch. Gold button accents provided subtle shine, while a tonally coordinated Vuitton City Steamer and simple black stilettos finished the look with polish.
Brigitte Macron Fetes Japan’s Crown Prince in—What Else?—Louis Vuitton
Last night at Versailles, French First Lady Brigitte Macron hosted Japan’s Crown Prince Naruhito for a lavish state dinner. And while her look for the occasion was created by her go-to Parisian designer—Nicolas Ghesquière for Louis Vuitton—the elegant metallic minidress also, fittingly, paid tribute to Asian culture.
The First Lady has previously embraced a neutral palette of white, gold, and silver for state dinners, so last night's dress felt like a fresh new direction. The shimmering lilac dress featured a mock neck top three-quarter sleeves that lent a demure refinement to her signature A-line mod silhouette.
The Asian-inspired floral brocade infused the look with a painterly touch, while bold jewelry—a geometric sapphire and diamond ring and watch with criss-crossed lavender leather straps—lent sophisticated sparkle. A coordinating metallic silver clutch and mirror-finish stilettos were shining finishing touches.
Brigitte Macron Jumps on the Designer Sneaker Bandwagon—and Of Course They’re Louis Vuitton
Brigitte Macron might have been the picture of fashion propriety when she twinned with Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark in Copenhagen recently, but yesterday in Helsinki, while taking a tour of the Suomenlinna Fortress with First Lady Jenni Haukio of Finland, the French first lady swapped out her usual stilettos for an unexpected pair of kicks—albeit from her go-to designer, Nicolas Ghesquière for Louis Vuitton.
Macron topped her look with a strong-shouldered navy Balmain double-breasted blazer, an elegant complement to her tonally coordinated matchstick trousers. A crisp, mandarin collar blouse lightened up the palette, as did an oversize Vuitton logo shawl draped with French finesse.
But it was Madame Macron’s kicks that stole the show. Though she didn't go for the house's current model-off-duty fave, the Archlight, Macron's choice of sneaker style, the Aftergame, made an equally stylish statement. The simple shoe sported the house’s signature monogram at the toe and on the sides, adding subtle contrast and texture to Macron’s ensemble while tying back to the motif of her shawl.
Clearly Brigitte Macron and Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark Share a Penchant For Beige Pumps
After stepping out in matching red dresses yesterday, French first lady Brigitte Macron and Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark are at it again today in Copenhagen They visited to a high school in the Danish capital dressed in looks that seemed perfectly coordinated. While the duo didn’t go matchy-matchy all the way, they both opted for beige heels to ground their elegant, sixties-inflected outfits.
Macron threw on a familiar combo—motocross-style jacket over a modish shift dress—one that, thanks to Louis Vuitton creative director Nicolas Ghesquière, has become something of a working uniform for the First Lady. Her Majesty opted for a royal blue frock that was not too far removed from the caped styles favored by other well-dressed royals, most notably Meghan Markle.
Macron turned heads at the state dinner at Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen yesterday evening wearing a floor-skimming long-sleeved white gown that was trimmed in metallic accents, also by Vuitton. It recalled the dress she wore to a state dinner here in the U.S. earlier this year, back when she and her husband President Macron were guests at the White House.
Brigitte Macron and Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark Do Twinning Style in Copenhagen
vogue.comBrigitte Macron likes to make a statement with her wardrobe. From mod-silhouetted minidresses to strong-shouldered blazers, the first lady of France has never shied away from bold fashion risks. And earlier today in Copenhagen, Macron, joined by husband President Emmanuel Macron, twinned with her host nation’s monarch, Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark, in red frocks.
Macron’s custom Louis Vuitton look fell in line with her usual streamlined and directional approach to dress, while also recalling pieces favored by Jackie Kennedy in the 1960s.
Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark, opted for a coordinating shade of cardinal. The keyhole neckline and below-the-knee length are similar to styles favored by fellow royal Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, but the Danish monarch infused the ensemble with lively contrast and texture through her accessories. Python stilettos were a cool twist, while a cherry-red crocodile clutch felt especially polished as paired with Her Majesty’s kidskin gloves and diamond leaf brooch.
Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron Go Matchy Matchy—Right Down to the Small Details
Last week, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron proved they’ve mastered off-duty couple’s style while going for a coordinated beach stroll together in Deauville, France. (There, they did sleek outerwear.) But on-duty this weekend, the President and First Lady of France continued their united style front, attending a state dinner in Paris in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the 11 November 1918 Armistice that ended World War I. The fashion message this time around? Matching navy color schemes, right down to the small—but crucial—details.
For her part, Brigitte chose a simple navy shift dress with a coordinating single-breasted blazer, which had a wrap-tie detail at the waist for visual interest. She accessorized with navy suede pumps and a top-handle leather bag in a darker shade of navy. Meanwhile, Emmanuel wore a classic single-breasted navy suit with a crisp white button-up, which he kept tonal by adding a simple navy tie that indeed tied their looks together. His black lace-ups lent a sleek, polished finish. The verdict: a presidential couple on the same wave length.
Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron Do Off-Duty Couples Style the French Way
vogue.comAs President and First Lady of France, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron’s primary duty is to best serve their country—but off duty? The couple have been known to serve up some serious looks that are both polished and refreshingly current. (They are French, after all.) Stepping out for a stroll on the beach in Deauville, France, this weekend, the couple did it yet again, this time embracing complementary dressing by bundling up in sleek, modern outerwear pieces.
For her part, Brigitte embraced the impact of color. She chose a bright pink topcoat, styling it with a Louis Vuitton monogram-print scarf in the same matching hue. (The French fashion house is one of her favorite labels.) The First Lady allowed her coat to shine by wearing a black sweater and jeans, but chose to amp up the ensemble with her footwear: black ankle boots with a slightly studded strap. As for the President, Emmanuel wore a handsome shearling-collared leather bomber jacket, which he styled with tasteful dark denim. Blue low-top sneakers pulled it all together with a cool finish.
vogue.comBrigitte Macron Is Back With a Classic Take on Parisian Chic
If you haven’t already heard, easy-breezy ’70s Parisian style is trending. From Hedi Slimane’s sophomore collection for Celine, dominated by horsebit buckles, culottes, and the color beige, to Balenciaga’s surprisingly sophisticated Fall 2019 offering that dialled down Demna Gvasalia’s meme-worthy instincts for classic rive gauche dressing, the latest phenomenon sweeping the French fashion world seems to be old school modesty.
And who better to pick up the baton than France’s first lady, Brigitte Macron? Yesterday in Paris, the 66-year-old schoolteacher and wife to Emmanuel Macron, the nation’s current president, stepped out for a diplomatic meeting with trademark Gallic ease and comfort. Sporting a sleek camel shift dress with a gold-buttoned belt detail—along with her signature bouncy bob—Macron was all smiles as she posed for photographers on the steps of the Élysée Palace.
As a fully committed fan of Nicolas Ghesquière’s designs for Louis Vuitton, we all know that the French first lady has fashion credentials. But with her latest look, Macron manages to balance a white-hot trend and classic Parisian style with unprecedented élan—even by her own already high standards.
