Brigitte Macron, wife of France's president, Emmanuel Macron, first landed on our radar thanks to her keen fashion sense [1]. She has crafted a signature wardrobe of skirt suits and blazers (of which we're betting Kate Middleton would approve [2]) and has won the adoration of fashion houses like Louis Vuitton. In case you need proof Brigitte is just as stylish as any other power woman, check out her gown for a state dinner with the Luxembourg royals.
On March 19, the Macrons welcomed the Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria-Teresa to the Elysée Palace in Paris and dressed to impress their guests. While the president wore a smart black suit, Brigitte wore a long-sleeved white dress with a studded neckline. The cool metal detail almost resembled a piece of armor, as if she were saying to the world, "I'm strong and confident."
Her dress, not surprisingly, was custom Louis Vuitton — a label she's turned to for many occasions. To complete her gorgeous ensemble, Brigitte wore a pair of gold cap-toe pumps. If you're as impressed by Brigitte's style [3] as we are, read on to see her full outfit. Then, shop similar shoe selections for your own parties.
