Brigitte Macron is a fashion role model for women all over the world
'Elegant in every situation' is a compliment that is often heard about Brigitte Macron. Since moving into the Élysée Palace in 2017, she has become a true fashion icon with her sophisticated look.
Nevertheless, she doesn't like being called that: 'I'm not an icon at all', she says in an interview with journalist Sophie Davant for the fourteenth issue of S le Mag magazine.
The ex-teacher gives very open insights into her life in an interview
Although she normally keeps a low profile in the media, in this interview the former teacher talks about various moments in her life, her career - and her attitude towards life.
The First Lady talks about her first marriage and her relationship with Emmanuel Macron, who was once in the same class as her daughter. Everyday life at the Elysée Palace is also discussed. The president of the Pièces Jaunes charity also talks about another topic close to her heart: her relationship with age and how she dresses as an ambassador for French fashion.
The mature fashion ambassador has an important message
Brigitte Macron knows that every outfit she wears is closely scrutinized. This is an opportunity for her to go one step further: she doesn't just want to look chic, she also wants to give her outfits a purpose.
The dedicated fashionista explains in an interview with S le Mag:
I realized that by wearing these clothes, I am showing the world what the workshops in France produce. I therefore see myself more as an ambassador. It is important to me to highlight the art of French fashion through the clothes and accessories I wear.
A strict fashion protocol applies to presidential wives
As First Lady, Brigitte Macron is obliged to present impeccable style at every one of her public appearances. She has fulfilled this role perfectly since her husband became President of the Republic in 2017. However, Brigitte Macron admits to Sophie Davant that this was not always easy. Over time, the former teacher became aware of some of the style mistakes she had made. Although she loves dresses with cuts that reveal her beautiful legs, she explains that she had to change her habits.
To her chagrin, the passionate fashion expert, who closely follows current fashion trends, was forced to banish some of her skirts and dresses that were perceived as 'too short'. In an interview with the journalist, she states:
I belong to a generation where you dress quite short ... I've lengthened a bit because I have to!
Brigitte Macron would no longer show her legs everywhere
Brigitte Macron was once given a bad nickname by former President Hollande.Sheadmits that she regrets having worn a certain outfit once. Her preference for the little black dress - her signature look at big events - is well known. She remembers the dress she wore on a visit to NATO a few years ago, which caused a stir because of its length. She admits in the interview:
I've learned from my mistakes. I wore a black dress that was a bit too short. You learn by walking...
Whatever Brigitte Macron'sstyle looks like, she isalways at the cutting edge of fashion and embodies French elegance.
