Brigitte Macron: A Stylish Long Weekend in May

The long weekend of Brigitte Macron was full! On Saturday April 29, 2023 at the Stade de France, the first lady attended with her husband, the president Emmanuel Macron, in the final of the French football cup between Toulouse and Nantes. In the stands, she had put on an elegant piece to counter the cool evening temperatures. Then on Monday 1^is May, Labor Day, Brigitte Macron did not escape the traditional annual lily of the valley ceremony at the Élysée Palace, wearing a monochrome spring outfit.

On April 29, 2023, the first lady wore a beige coat straight with golden buttons, assembled with a black sweater with a round neckline. And the 1^is May, Brigitte Macron met representatives of the agricultural sector in an outfit consisting of a top with three-quarter sleeves blanc adorned with gold buttons on the shoulders, a slightly flared skirt and pointed beige and black pumps.

Like all first ladies, Brigitte Macron and her outfits arouse curiosity. If she has earned the gratifying nickname of “first lady of chic” and that the Instagram accounts dedicated to her style are flourishing, the president’s wife has never ceased to amaze with her modernity and her fashion choices since her arrival at the Elysée alongside Emmanuel Macron in May 2017. While during the presidential campaign , her style of dress casual chic and her natural relaxation could offer points of sympathy to her husband, her pace has, since the election of the latter, evolved a tad.

How did Brigitte Macron dress when she was young?

If we can easily find photos of Brigitte Macron since she lives in the presidential palace, there are far fewer from the period when she was Madame Trogneux, young french teacher. At the time, she was still anonymous, cultivating a very classic style, even preppy with her hair done in a ponytail. Blazers, suits, shirts and scarves made up her wardrobe. Later, she wears jeans, jackets and sneakers which always make her approachable. And for her marriage to the future president in 2007, it is in a short straight dress associated with an immaculate jacket that she says “yes” to the one with whom she is twenty-four years apart.

During the Bercy meeting in April 2017, she appeared for the first time in a more formal outfit, as the presidential campaign required. She is then dressed in a white tuxedo style trouser suit whose jacket she wears a few days later in a gray version. It was in August 2015 that she refined the “Brigitte Style” that we know, following his meeting with Delphine Arnault, then deputy general manager of Louis Vuitton. This one blows him some dress advice for his public appearances. Between big houses and French designers such as Balmain or Louis Vuitton, her wardrobe is more sophisticated. We see her regularly in a straight dress, often in a suit jacket and trousers or an officer’s jacket, and always in pumps. For her husband’s two investitures, she always wears a straight dress (lavender blue in 2017, white in 2022) associated with a short jacket with buttons signed Louis Vuitton.

What do her favorite casual looks look like?

Judging by the street style photos, in her everyday life or during walks in Le Touquet, she is particularly fond of jeans slims associated with sneakers with thick soles signed No Name and a suit jacket or sailor top. Sometimes she dares to wear leather pants close to the body or put on one of her usual straight dresses. A very up-to-date wardrobe, reflecting its image as femme active following trends. Brigitte Macron, on this subject, revealed to the French host Sophie Frontin his magazine S, le mag from January 2023 what her favorite look looked like: “Before the Elysée, my favorite outfit was jeans. accompanied by a fitted jacket and stilettos. It was my uniform. That’s how I like to be dressed.”

What are Brigitte Macron’s favorite brands?

French first lady, Brigitte Macron supports the hexagonal creation. Her favorite designers? Olivier Rousteing, head of Balmain when she’s not falling for an outfit Barbara Bui. Brigitte Macron also told Sophie Davant, in her magazine S, le mag that it was often Nicolas Ghesquière, artistic director of Louis Vuitton, who dressed him during his official outings: “In 2017, Louis Vuitton offered to lend me outfits when I traveled and I met Nicolas Ghesquière, its artistic director. He knows my style, my tastes, my morphology, and he’s the one who designs my outfits“.
