Brigitte Macron might not actually be royalty, but she looked every bit the princess while attending a state dinner at the Royal Palace in Belgium. Joining Queen Mathilde of Belgium for the black-tie affair, Macron wore a sleek black dress with glittering embellishments at the neckline and waist. Queen Mathilde, for her part, wore a pretty velvet number that was a bit reminiscent of Meghan Markle's favorite bateau neckline. 

We revel in Macron's tours of other countries just as much as we love when Markle or Kate Middleton travel abroad. So far, Macron has worn a polished all-gray outfit and a cool tweed pantsuit, and we can't wait to see what else she has up her sleeve in Belgium. Scroll down to see everything Brigitte Macron has worn on her tour of Belgium so far.

In our minds, there's really nothing better than when a woman in power shows her love for fashion. Recently, it's been the first lady of France on our radar for her perfectly French, always polished style. Macron, a former literature teacher, is regularly spotted attending royal dinners and spending time with her royal European friends, always in an outfit we'd want to copy.

No matter the occasion, Macron's style is minimalist at heart (she is a French woman, after all), so we can count on her for outfit ideas with wardrobe staples like nude pumps, fitted blazers, and, yes, skinny jeans. On a recent trip to Deauville-les-Bains, France, Macron and her husband both showed us how the French do off-duty style. Macron wore a base of black skinny jeans and a black sweater and finished off her outfit with a bright pink wool coat and coordinating Louis Vuitton logo scarf—and we can't get enough of the genius combination.

As winter inches closer and closer, we have a feeling we'll be keeping this Brigitte Macron outfit in our back pocket for all our skinny-jean styling needs. Keeping reading to see how Macron wore her skinny jeans in cold weather and to see more of her expert French style.

Style Notes: Macron topped off her all-black ensemble with a bright pink overcoat and pink scarf to really make the colors pop.

Style Notes: The French first lady added polish to her skinny jeans via a structured jacket and sleek pumps.

Style Notes: Her leather skinny jeans and ankle boots lend a tougher element to this sleek winter outfit.

Style Notes: Ever the fan of skinny jeans, Macron expertly styled her denim with a structured blazer, crisp button-down, and a polished handbag.

Brigitte Macron may not be French royalty, but she looked every bit the princess for a state dinner at Versailles on Wednesday night. The president and first lady of France hosted a dinner for Japan's Crown Prince, and one element of Macron's outfit happened to follow a British royal outfit rule: her nude tights. Once Meghan Markle became a duchess, she started wearing nude tights to adhere to the royal protocol for more formal occasions. CNN royal expert Victoria Arbiter explained the guidelines to Insider.

"You never see a royal without their nude stockings," Arbiter said. "I would say that's really the only hard, steadfast rule in terms of what the queen requires."

Although Markle has opted out of nude tights for less formal affairs, they remain a part of her duchess wardrobe. Of course, the definition of nude is different for everyone, which is why we've spotlighted brands like Heist that make seven different shades so you can find your match. Scroll down to see how Macron and Markle wear nude tights and to shop the look for yourself.

When two powerful and well-dressed women meet, you know you're in for a real treat. First Lady of France Brigitte Macron has landed in Copenhagen to meet with Princess Mary of Denmark, and the two showed up matching in one of our favorite fall trends: head-to-toe red.

Since both women have an interest in fashion, it's not surprising that they also met with the CEO of the Global Fashion Agenda, which is dedicated to making fashion more sustainable. On its Instagram, the company explained that Macron and Princess Mary participated in a "roundtable talk at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, where they discussed sustainable solutions tackling the most prominent challenges the fashion industry faces."

We can't wait to see how they'll bring their influence to the pressing problem. In the meantime, scroll down for photos from the duo's time in Copenhagen and to shop the red trend for yourself.

At Who What Wear, we love it when a woman in the spotlight clearly adores fashion. Of late, French first lady Brigitte Macron and her eye for style have really caught our attention. A former literature teacher, Brigitte, 65, now has scores of women the world over wanting to emulate her latest look.

You won’t see this political figure in anything loose, floaty, or floral—she’s a minimalist through and through (like so many French women), and her staples revolve around modern, clean lines with body-skimming silhouettes. She’s rarely seen without towering high heels, and she loves a navy suit—almost as much as her husband, French President Emmanuel Macron. As a matter of fact, some of our favorite looks on her have been navy—you know what they say, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Brigitte is also a champion of French brands, given the plethora of Parisian design houses at her disposal—we can only imagine. Favorites include Christian Dior, Alexandre Vauthier, and Alaïa. That said, her number one go-to label is definitely Louis Vuitton. She counts Vuitton designer Nicolas Ghesquière as a personal friend, along with Chanel’s Karl Lagerfeld. Given such a stylish Rolodex, it’s no surprise that Macron always steps out looking chic. See the evidence below.

Wearing skinny jeans, a navy peacoat, and Nikes on a bike ride in Le Touquet, France, in June 2017. We wish we looked this good mid-cycle.

A fine example of the Brigitte blazer. This is by her favorite label Louis Vuitton worn here alongside husband Emmanuel Macron during President Donald Trump’s visit to Brussels for the NATO summit on July 11, 2018. Of course, she kept it simple with tailored trousers and stilettos.

A great drop-waist dress needs minimal accessories, which is why Brigitte wore this with simplistic nude pumps on a visit to Brussels in 2017.

The first lady knows how to work stylish eveningwear, layering a sequin cape over her cream Louis Vuitton dress. Even for occasion wear, Brigitte keeps it simple and sleek for a state dinner at the Élysée Palace in March 2018.

From eveningwear to the chicest of casuals, this blue sweater and jeans have got us thinking about color-blocking for summer. Brigitte wore this for a meeting between Arnold Schwarzenegger and President Macron at the Élysée Palace in June 2017.

A great tailored shift dress like this will save you many a “what to wear” outfit dilemma. Brigitte wore hers on a state visit to Luxembourg in August 2017. You could wear yours to after-work drinks (not quite the same—we know).

The first lady is a fan of all shades of blue. It may be a blazer and relaxed denim here in Le Touquet, France, but you can always count on Brigitte to elevate the look with some sky-high heels.

When you’re sitting front row at the Louis Vuitton show at Paris Fashion Week, what else are you going to wear but the designer brand? Brigitte pairs her leather trousers with the Vuitton Capucine bag.

Seen here at the Élysée Palace, Paris, in July last year, Brigitte opted for a red Alexandre Vauthier blazer. Red with black is always a good idea.

We told you Brigitte and navy make for a winning combination. Seen here with President Macron in Varna last year, wearing (you guessed it)—a Louis Vuitton shift dress. Great ruffle detailing, Brigitte.

Those jeans again! Love that Bridgitte has taken the gray tone from head to toe. She wore this double-breasted blazer with a crisp white shirt in Paris in 2017.

A rare sighting of Brigitte in a colorful ensemble, still as chic and tailored as ever. Of course, it’s Louis Vuitton—go figure. She wore this with President Macron on a visit to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., in April 2018. Oh, to raid her wardrobe.

Another stellar evening look from Brigitte. We love the illusion lace with a slight sparkle. We wouldn’t mind borrowing this dress, worn for the Fête de la Musique in June 2017, for our Friday night plans.

This tan look wouldn’t go amiss in our summer wardrobe. We can’t promise our version will be Louis Vuitton, though. Brigette wore this look when she visited the Taj Mahal in March 2018.

A white shirt with belted red jeans and trainers? Sold. Colored jeans are having a moment, as demonstrated by Brigitte in June 2017 in France.

We love this all-white look of Brigitte’s in June 2017 on the steps of the Élysée Palace. This white number is by classic French brand Courrèges.

In November 2017, Brigitte wore this long-sleeved burgundy dress at Élysée Palace in Paris. The high neck is offset by the above knee length—something that the French press often debate as appropriate or not (we say whatever, as this is the 21st century).

Peak sophistication was the order of the day for the 2018 Bastille Day military parade. Leaving the bottom two buttons of her skirt-suit top open? Nice styling touch, Brigitte.

At a concert in Hamburg, Germany, Brigitte styled out her black cigarette pants with a monochrome Louis Vuitton tunic. Très chic.

Brigitte and Rihanna were in Paris as the singer discussed education in developing countries with the French president. We’ll take Rihanna’s bag and Brigitte’s Louis Vuitton jacket, please.

The Macrons received a group of children to mark the United Nations Universal Children’s Day at the Élysée Palace in Paris. We rarely see Brigitte without her trusty stilettos, but here she’s opted for over-the-knee boots.

She counts Vuitton designer Nicolas Ghesquière as a personal friend, along with Chanel’s Karl Lagerfeld. Balmain Creative Director Olivier Rousteing often praises her style, and she’s worn the brand’s sharp-shouldered jackets so often we’re going to rename the jacket style The Brigitte. 

Sharp tailoring aside, there’s one particular item of Brigette’s wardrobe we want to steal every time—skinny jeans. Saint Laurent skinnies, to be precise. She has a catalogue of styles, from stone-washed, blue, black and red. “I have always put a lot of effort into the way I present myself,” she told Elle. “I would never leave the house before choosing an outfit and doing my hair.” So that’s why even the most casual ensemble of jeans and a sweater still looks entirely polished.

We've already waxed poetic about Brigitte Macron's style on plenty of occasions. There was her dreamy Grecian gown at the White House, her cool skinny jeans look at couture week, and her power suit at the Taj Mahal. You're probably already acquainted with the stylish first lady of France, but how much do you know about her daughter?

Macron has two daughters from a previous marriage: 34-year-old Tiphaine Auzière and 41-year-old Laurence Auzière-Jourdan. Tiphaine, the younger daughter, just made a rare appearance with her mom at an event celebrating the French World Cup soccer team in Paris. Clearly, she's picked up a thing or two from her well-dressed mom: She looked like the epitome of effortless French style in a printed jumpsuit and strappy heels for the occasion. Scroll down to see the chic family affair and shop the look.

Couture week in Paris may be the pinnacle of all fashion weeks, but that doesn't mean you still can't wear skinny jeans to the shows (if you're Brigitte Macron, that is). The first lady of France wore the laid-back wardrobe staple to the Giambattista Valli show, and we're obsessed with her nonchalant, fuss-free outfit.

Macron teamed her dark-wash skinny jeans with a simple orange T-shirt and suede boots—the perfect weekend outfit, as far as we're concerned. Of course, Macron is no stranger to skinny jeans: She also wore them on her first major fashion cover, on a state visit to New York, and to meet the one and only Rihanna. Do we sense a first lady uniform? Scroll down to see her look and shop similar jeans.

Brigitte Macron is on the move again. After conducting a state visit to India last month, the French first lady and President Emmanuel Macron have embarked on three-day trip to Washington, D.C., where she's already shown off a handful of polished outfits since landing yesterday.

For a state dinner at the White House on Tuesday night, Macron's Grecian-inspired Louis Vuitton gown was a vision—and definitely bridal-worthy in our minds. (Blame it on bridal fashion week or Meghan Markle, but weddings are on our brains right now.) Read on to see her formal look, plus everything she's worn in Washington, D.C., so far.

French president Emmanuel Macron and first lady Brigitte Macron are currently on a three-day state visit to India. Much like how we keep an eye out for Kate Middleton's wardrobe on her trips abroad, we've been eagerly awaiting Brigitte's outfits and were definitely not disappointed.

While Middleton opted to wear lots of long, flowing dresses on her India trip back in 2016, Macron has been sticking to her signature looks: suits and short dresses. While visiting the Taj Mahal, Macron chose an oversize tan blazer along with matching skinny pants and heels. She completed the power suit ensemble with a classic white button-down shirt. 

During a black-tie dinner, Macron went with a lace column dress with pretty shoulder cutouts. The president and first lady also toured the city of New Delhi and visited an orphanage during their trip. Read on to see every outfit Macron has worn in India.
