French President Emmanuel Macron and first lady Brigitte Macron made their first appearance this week after recovering from a case of the coronavirus at the end of 2020.

The first couple joined guests at the Elysée Palace in Paris on Wednesday as part of a ceremony with a giant traditional Epiphany cake. For the occasion, Brigitte opted for a chic seasonal ensemble that layered a black peacoat and a matching face mask; she then added in a hit of subtle color in a burgundy wrapped scarf.

To top off the look, the former school teacher opted for a set of sleek pumps with a patent finish and a stiletto heel. For her pumps and heels, Brigitte oftentimes taps Louis Vuitton’s Eyeline silhouette, a metal-sliced design with a 4-inch lift.

When it comes to the French first lady’s style, she oftentimes favors Louis Vuitton once more when it comes to clothing in addition to shoes and accessories. With footwear, specifically, she leans toward pointed-toe pumps with a stiletto or block heel usually around 4 inches high. The Eyeline silhouette from the French fashion powerhouse remains one of her favorites, of course, but she also frequents the graphic-print Matchmake pump and booties. The former educator lives up to the style motifs of her native France, opting for layered looks and perfectly tailored pieces that keep up with the nation’s style aesthetic: chic, clean and understated.
