Brigitte Macron Favors Utilitarian Styling With Statement Belt During Uzbekistan President’s Paris Visit

Brigitte Macron joined her husband, French president Emmanuel Macron, to host the president of the Republic of Uzbekistan at the Élysée Palace in Paris on Wednesday. France's first lady favored one of her staple wardrobe colors for the special occasion.

The French first lady opted for nautical inspiration married with utilitarian elements and a statement belt moment. Brigitte Macron wore a navy blue coatdress, featuring long sleeves and a slit on the skirt. The dress, which was designed with a high neckline, included gold button detailing running down the bodice of the maxidress.

Along with the nautical-inspired, utilitarian navy gown, Macron added a black statement belt to her waist to create more definition.

Accessories worn by Macron were minimal, save for a pair of statement earrings. She also wore sheer black tights and pointed-toe black pumps.

Blue has long been a prominently featured color for Macron's wardrobe throughout her tenure as the first lady of France. Macron has styled variations on the shade for such occasions as the state dinner with Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa in February.

Macron also has a tendency to create coordinated sartorial moments with other high-profile figures in Europe. While visiting the U.K. to celebrate the Entente Littéraire Prize Award Ceremony in December 2024, Macron wore a blue look that served to complement Queen Camilla's attire.

More recently, however, Macron forwent her signature blues for a bold black look at Stella McCartney's fall 2025 ready-to-wear runway show  during Paris Fashion Week on March 5.
