Macron styled her hair in a modern bouffant, with wisps of her fringe to frame her face. As for her makeup, Macron favored a smoky eye, bold brows and a nude lip.
The first lady of France’s attire was complemented by her husband’s. President Macron opted for a black suit with tapered trousers and a single-breasted blazer. He paired the suit with a crisp white dress shirt and charcoal tie.
The president and first lady of Angola followed suit with their subdued attire. Both styled black and navy coats overtop their formal pieces. President Lourenço added a pop of color to his attire with a purple tie.
It’s not uncommon for Macron’s state dinner style to feature a touch of sparkle. In 2022, during President and First Lady Macron’s visit to the United States, Brigitte wore a sleek white gown with additional sparkling elements with embroidery on the neckline and at the waist for a defined silhouette. Such details, as an added element of shimmer, elevate Macron’s wardrobe in her role as the first lady of France. While Macron often favors designs seemingly evocative of Paris couture history, she still finds ways to imbue certain styles with her own unique approach to fashion.
