“This Once-Beloved Star, Spotted with a Cane, Is Nearly Unrecognizable Today”: Who Is She?

Although Brigitte Bardot rarely appears in public, she recently went to the Élysée Palace to talk with the president and his wife about the work that her charity organization is doing.

“This Once-Beloved Star, Spotted with a Cane, Is Nearly Unrecognizable Today”: Who Is She?

Because she thought Emmanuel Macron lacked compassion, Bardot persuaded her fellow citizens not to vote for him in the most recent French presidential election. Her worries are legitimate; Bardot has long supported animal rights and worked to put an end to animal abuse.

Macron won the election because the French people disregarded Bardot’s warnings, despite her concerns. However, she has made the decision to set aside her misgivings and meet with the president to discuss urgent matters.

Bardot, who is ambulatory thanks to crutches, made an appearance at the Élysée Palace wearing black pants and a round-neck blouse, finishing her look with a choker. Macron chose a more laid-back ensemble, dressing in trousers and a clean white shirt.

Based on the photos, it seems like the meeting went well—the first lady, the president, and the fashion icon from the 1960s all grinned and appeared to be having a nice conversation. It appears that Brigitte Bardot was persuaded by Emmanuel Macron of his sincere interest in the endeavors of the Fondation Brigitte Bardot, which she founded.
