In the 2017 French presidential election, the whole world was watching Brigitte Macron. She was the wife of the radiant campaigner, the youthful dynamic Emmanuel Macron. Each of her appearances was viewed critically, her look, her style – her fashion.
The unspoken question always resonated: A 24-year-old woman? Can that work well with a beau and power man like Emmanuel Macron? Brigitte Macron was born in April 1953, Emmanuel Macron in December 1977.
Brigitte Macron: Look good beyond 60
It can – Brigitte Macron has redefined the role of a First Lady in France. And more than that, in her own unique way, she re-filled the basic idea of the French woman. She is always dressed in style, with each performance and dress effortlessly appearing as an addition to her persona and not as a costume put together for a performance. And at the same time she pushed the age limit of the cliché of the “French woman” up. Brigitte confidently ignored all blasphemous tongues who kept asking whether a skirt length above the knee was appropriate for a woman over 60.
Brigitte Macron – she redefines the look of a first lady and the image of the “French”.

Yes that’s it. Brigitte likes to show off her slender legs – whether in short dresses, tight jeans or overknee boots. Best of all, she never reveals her age. Yes, Brigitte Macron wears heavy make-up in public. This is how she dramatically accentuates her eye area, but she never makes herself look younger than she actually is. She wears her wrinkles with pride and self-confidence.
A sense of style does not come by itself. Like all powerful women, Brigitte Macron seeks advice and apparently from the right person. When her husband prepared to conquer the Elysée Palace, Brigitte knew that from then on she would be in the center of public attention. And she decided to swap out her previous teacher’s casual look for a new outfit.
Flagship of French fashion
Delphine Arnault, Vice President of Louis Vuitton, helped her. Her slim figure, the straw-blond hair and the darkly made-up area around her eyes contribute to the unmistakable look – Brigitte Macron has a large repertoire of outfits for this. From light summer dresses and blazers similar to uniforms to coats and scarf combinations in a business look. They all have one thing in common: every outfit is presidential and perfectly suits their role as First Lady.
Brigitte Macron showed all the doubters who asked whether a 68-year-old woman could do that: “Yes, I can and I can.” After the initial excitement, Brigitte Marcon no longer played a prominent role abroad, and that’s a good thing, because it shows that she didn’t make a mistake during her husband’s presidency – which would have been reported immediately and worldwide. In France itself, she is considered a big plus for her husband’s campaign. With her charm, her looks and the mistake of scandals, she supports the election campaign. In the field of promising candidates, Brigitte Macron is the feminine element today. Because her husband’s biggest opponent, Marine LePen, from the right-wing extremist Rassemblement National, always comes across as boyish and businesslike.
