Since Emmanuel Macrons election to office this past spring, Brigitte Macron has been shaking up the role of Frances First Lady in more ways than one. Aside from being 24 years her husbands senior, at 64, Macrons favorite unconventional fashion choices feature hemlines that fall well above the kneeand place her gamine, toned, and tan limbs squarely in the spotlight. Directly after inauguration day, Macron celebrated mid-Mays 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 Americas youth obsession is paramount, and its restrictions on women ever-more pervasive (including Congresss recent deeming of sleeveless attire inappropriate), Macrons rejection of outdated age- and gender-related dress codes feels particularly remarkable. Visible on a global scale, Frances 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?
I don’t believe Donald Trump hooked up with Melania when she was 15.
The Macrons are creepy deviants.
Agree.
It’s not just that he’s gay — he’s a victim of child sexual abuse!

Sorry, but this pedo stuff is gross.
I’m 48 and I’d take it for a test-drive just because I am a curious to see if it still handles well. I’m sure I’d be asking the dealer if he has any newer models. I’d consider this one for a short-term rental but for ownership I hope the dealer has a 5’10 Dutch model sporting the ability to create little techworkers. Actually at that model length, some pretty big techworkers.
Looks like LE PETIT GARCON brought his mom to the summit
The black really short dress when she’s next to Melania was one of her worst choices IMO; she looks old & scrawny, not chic.
I have to admit the white suit looks like a good choice for her if she insists on things above the knee - it’s only about an inch above and fits well.
She still looks her age from the neck up, so should avoid looking as if she had a gift card to a teenage boutique.
As Crocodile Dundee would say...”Those aren’t legs.. THESE are legs!”
I don’t think she slept with him when he was 15. Do you have evidence that she did?
Mrs. Gunner was a gymnast before I met her. She still has the legs. Whoooooeeee!
However, in photo #23, Melania's neck looks worse than her counterpart.

I agree. Macroni loves his noodles, and Justin Trudeau too, no doubt.
Oh Dear God.
that was just MEAN.
She ain’t never going to beat (or even come close to) BETTY GRABLE.
Of course I am pretty old fashioned that way, a woman should look like a WOMAN, not a tangled up mess of wire coat hangers

“...tell me, is this the new normal?”

Speaking as a single older woman, I certainly hope so.
;)
But seriously, this thread is getting pretty sexist and very ageist. The Macrons always look happy together. So what’s your beef?
