Elysee Palace in Paris to meet Russia's
President Dmitry Medvedev and his wife
for a state dinner on March 2, 2010
A couple of days ago, I was going to post this photo of the fashionista (not) Carla Bruni with the caption: "Is She Bored Already?"
Bruni, along with Michelle Obama, has received accolades of praise for her fashion sense. But, I never saw it, and posted on her here.
But, this weird jersey dress, with its even weirder color, surpasses even sartorial mediocrity. Along with Bruni's expression, which looks supremely bored as though (temporarily) supressing great pains to be her husbands', the President's, escort (as in wife), this dress is the choice of someone who is not quite right in the head. It is ugly, unflattering to her body, and the color doesn't go well with her skin - as we fashion followers like to say. What normal woman would wear a dress like this?
Well, the French news are throwing out a bomb. Sarkozy and Bruni are supposed to be in the middle of affairs.
I've always said you cannot change a leopard's skin. Both Mr. and Mrs. have been in multiple affairs, married and not, in their previous non-Presidential lives. And now, they are back at it again.
Bruni is rumored to have moved in with her musician friend, and Sarkozy has fled into the arms of his Minister for Ecology.
Don't let anyone tell you that fashion (and dress) is unimportant. It gauges sensitive, hardly observable, truths of a person.
