I swear to god I have seen the same suit as that in Tesco for £30.

Maybe Bruni is Bonsoir Shock

Get0rfMoiLand · 16/05/2012 18:56

Bonsoir wouldn't wear that suit.

i have a marks one too,
ic ant afford expensive ones.
but yes - I think tbh its that white maternity tiop. i htought she looked thinner thn that recently

PippiL · 16/05/2012 18:58

I'm not normally one to stick up for the over-privileged...

...but, she had a baby in October. I don't look as good as her 5 years after my last baby, never mind 7 months after. I think she looks bloody good.

Agree with the comment about her probably feeling relieved she can bling it up a bit now though Wink

Get0rfMoiLand · 16/05/2012 19:01

I don't think she looks fat at all - but there are probably a million more flattering garments she could have worn.

How on earth did someone as lumpen as Hollande bag two very good looking women like Trierweiler and Royal?

she does look like she is pg
and she looks fatter than she did a month ago.

up the duff i tell you

Get0rfMoiLand · 16/05/2012 19:02

Probably why she is looking so jolly then.

GnocchiNineDoors · 16/05/2012 19:02

It is not a flattering top.

thestringcheesemassacre · 16/05/2012 19:35

Yes I think she's duffed up too.

PacketOfBiscuits · 16/05/2012 19:43

It's just a suit, I can't see anything wrong with it TBH. Actually I'd love to see a politician's partner purposely wearing a sack for once, to completely reject the expectation to be arm candy.

TheCrackFox · 16/05/2012 19:47

I think she is pregnant too. She has that tired, pissed off look that a 10 week pregnant woman would sport.

CurrySpice · 16/05/2012 21:15

How did Hollands bag 2 lovely women GetOrf? Well, they say power is an aphrodisiac

polyhymnia · 16/05/2012 22:34

Don't really feel that sorry for her . She has never had to live a 'normal' life, is seriously rich in her own right - heiress to a rich Italian family - has had relationships with Mick Jagger and loads of other glamorous people, has lovely houses in smartest part of Paris and the south of France and plenty of money to buy whatever clothes and grooming she fancies.

Good luck to her but not an object of pity, IMO.

MissFoodie · 16/05/2012 22:38

don't you mean "nextraordinary suit"?

Get0rfMoiLand · 16/05/2012 22:40

Grin at nextraordinary suit.

Packet I get your point re the arm candy status of first women, but this is the style and beauty topic Grin

I saw the footage and wondered what on earth she was wearing. It was flappy and baggy, v.odd.

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 16/05/2012 22:43

She looks a lot chubbier than normal. And tired and pissed off. She has obviously just realised what a short arse she is married to.

MissFoodie · 16/05/2012 22:43

poor woman, let's not forget she is tall and the photograph is taken from a lower level, always a bad angle!

southeastastra · 16/05/2012 22:44

oh good for her!

trixymalixy · 16/05/2012 22:48

She really hasn't dressed to flatter herself at all.

Mollydoggerson · 16/05/2012 22:48

I think it's a big f you to the french public and press, 'I couldn't be arsed to put myself out/dress up for the leaving the palace doo, so shoot me'.

Get0rfMoiLand · 16/05/2012 22:50

That would be great if it is true molly.

Bugger you all, I am not dressing up for the electorate who voted my husband out. Piss off.

I thought either the jacket didn't match the suit or it has been washed more frequently than the trousers - it looked to me to be a slightly different colour.

PacketOfBiscuits · 16/05/2012 23:27

Funny you should say that GetOrf, I only realised that after I posted, and have no clue how I got here :o

piprabbit · 16/05/2012 23:32

You can see why Carla always wears flats. Even wearing 4inch heels, Valerie is only just about the same height as Carla in flats.

I'm not sure why the jacket sleeves are so short, but the trouser legs are so long.
