On the evening of October 14, local time, France President Emmanuel · Macron and his wife Brigitte · Macron held a state banquet at the Elysee Palace to entertain the visiting King Philip and Queen Mathilde of Belgium.
Before the banquet began, the four guests stood on the red carpet to take a group photo, and the 46-year-old Macron seemed to deliberately keep his distance from Mathilde, after all, the queen, who speaks five Chinese languages (French, Netherlands, English, Italy and Spain, and although her mother is a Poland nobleman, she only knows the simplest Poland) has a height advantage.
The King and Queen of Belgium also brought their eldest son to Paris, and the 21-year-old Prince Gabriel has a great appearance and a height advantage. Because there is also an older sister Princess Elizabeth above, Gabriel will almost have nothing to do with the throne in the future, but he is also completing what the prince needs to do step by step, not a swinger.
Despite having met earlier in the day, the King of Belgium gave Brigitte, who was the hostess, a kiss of the hand as a sign of respect and gratitude.
It is reported that the French kiss is only "to the point", and the man's lips will not touch the back of the woman's hand, which avoids trouble and is also very good in terms of hygiene.
Philippe, 64, and Mathilde, 51, paid a state visit to France at Macron's invitation to celebrate the progress of cultural exchanges between France and Belgium, and to discuss European issues of mutual concern.
Macron will host a state dinner, and the guests who can't be shaken will inevitably be Bernard ·Arnault, founder and CEO of LVMH Group, and his second wife, Canada pianist Helen · Messier, after all, they are good friends of the first lady and support each other.
The 71-year-old Brigitte chose the "little black dress" that day, which is almost infallible, and spliced a small part of the tulle embellished with sequins, which also looks less dull and a little noble.
In order to match this evening dress, Brigitte also deliberately combed her "fluffy hair" into a coil, which looked more neat and elegant.
Perhaps it was not so convenient to walk in high heels, but when she entered the banquet hall, Brigitte grabbed her husband's arm, and the couple, who were nearly 25 years apart, still had a tacit understanding many times.
Although Brigitte's height is just right when she stands with her husband, when she stands side by side with the Queen of Belgium, she looks a little small, after all, Mathilde has a height of 1.75 meters, plus the help of high heels, easily more than 1.85 meters, taller than her husband, not to mention Brigitte.
In this way, Brigitte's aura is inferior, far less noble and graceful than Mathilde in a velvet evening dress.
Brigitte is inferior to Mathilde in aura, not all because of her height, in fact, she has not played very well in evening dresses, and almost every time she wears a gorgeous dress, she looks too ordinary. On the contrary, it is the usual business attire, which makes her look very outstanding.
Some analysts believe that the evening dress may have been borrowed from the designer, although it was adjusted to her body size as much as possible, but it was not tailor-made after all, and business wear was different, it was really carefully designed and cut according to her size.
Brigitte, who walked on the road to Place de la Concorde, still looked quite stylish.
