Last night in Paris, France s First Lady Brigitte Macron hosted South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in and wife Kim Jung-sook for a formal state dinner at the Elyseé Palace. As she is wont to do, Macron chose Nicolas Ghesquière for Louis Vuitton for the occasion, but the look offered a bit of a surprise: the midnight blue gown featured subtle cut-outs that framed her decolletage, providing a cool alternative to more traditional mock or crewnecks.
While the First Lady has remained sartorially faithful to Louis Vuitton, this certainly isn t the first time she s pushed the eveningwear envelope. Just last month, when hosting the Japanese Prime Minister at Versailles, Macron wore a modified A-line dress in a metallic brocade that paid tribute to Asian culture. Any Macron style-devotee has noticed a micro-trend emerge: metallic accents. In September, she wore a tomato-red daytime dress with gold buttons darting the waist, and she wore a mod A-line mini dress with exposed hardware over the summer. Indeed, Macron s only accent last night was a built-in chain-link belt, which gave her look its signature edge.
