Since Emmanuel Macron’s election to office this past spring, Brigitte Macron has been shaking up the role of France’s First Lady in more ways than one. Aside from being 24 years her husband’s senior, at 64, Macron’s favorite unconventional fashion choices feature hemlines that fall well above the knee—and place her gamine, toned, and tan limbs squarely in the spotlight. Directly after inauguration day, Macron celebrated mid-May’s sunny days at the Élysée Palace in a cornflower blue Louis Vuitton skirt suit that inched upward to reveal the head-turning limbs that would soon become her signature. A belted black shift, also from Louis Vuitton, came next, paired with leg-elongating nude pumps. Even when swathed in sheer black tights, her willowy stems maintained a scene-stealing presence. But lest one think Macron only shows them off for official occasions, the First Lady left her home in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage on a bicycle in June clad in a crisp button-up, sneakers, and a denim miniskirt that hit at mid-thigh. And today in Germany at the G20 summit, Macron stepped out in a coral funnel-neck frock and flesh-tone stilettos that offered a leggy take on the political uniform. Historically, the French have never set an expiration date on femininity or sensuality. This may explain why, at a time when America’s youth obsession is paramount, and its restrictions on women ever-more pervasive (including Congress’s recent deeming of sleeveless attire inappropriate), Macron’s rejection of outdated age- and gender-related dress codes feels particularly remarkable. Visible on a global scale, France’s First Lady is cutting a liberating new feminist path with her particular brand of Gallic body confidence. In politics, as in life, what could be more powerful?
Vogue has figured out how to write an article that’s both sexist and ageist at the same time.

Bow-legged. She never stands with her legs together.
Love that book
France is circling the drain, but at least they do have this going for them. /s
So he’s a French Obama then?
Isn’t his ‘sponsor’ / fellow friend of Dorothy the head of a major French media empire? Seems I read that rumor somewhere.
Even the ‘official story’ of his romance is he was 16 and fell for his 40 year old teacher:
The press again loves pedophilia.
Skinny legs with knees and calves of the same diameter are considered jaw dropping? To whom? Gay men?
Well, I guess Vogue makes a lot of money off old women who want to think they ‘still have it’- but don’t.
When I look at her I don’t think “jaw dropping” legs, I think “jowl dropping” face.
Coincidentally, there’s a 24 year age gap in each marriage.
Very apropos for a First Lady....tres chic!

I’d call hers chicken legs, but that wpuld be an insult to chickens. Ok, how about “toothpicks.” ;)
Her legs look anorexic, not sexy.
Chicken legs vs gorgeously toned legs.
Hello, Vogue? The clue line is ringing...and, it’s for you!
Most of the pictures I’ve seen of this woman showed that she had emaciated, unattractive chicken legs. I guess they rounded up a couple of photos of her where those chicken legs were somewhat disguised.
Melania has better looking legs! Not so boney!
[ Skinny legs with knees and calves of the same diameter are considered jaw dropping? To whom? Gay men? ]
that is why so many female fashion models look like prepubescent boys wearing dresses.
What a bunch of haters. The exact same things could be said of Trump and Melania. She could very well be his daughter and he also has kids with various women. People love who they love. Go ahead and roast me but the double standard here is disgusting.
Not saying I agree with it...
