Carla Bruni-Sarkozy glamorous in New York City

September 25th, 2009

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy and her husband, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, had lunch at Amaranth Restaurant on Madison Avenue in New York City on Thursday, September 25.
Nicolas Sarkozy’s ex wife Cecilia Sarkozy Attias and her husband Richard Attias were shopping just across the street at Hermes, while Carla and Nicolas were having lunch.
Carla Bruni, 41, was a breath of fresh air wearing a lavender twin sweater with elbow length sleeves and dark blue slim jeans. She accessorized with sunglasses, and tan flats. Her straight bronze hair was left open with a middle parting. She cheerfully waved to the photogs.
Former supermodel and singer, Bruni, is accompanying her husband for the 64th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City.
The French First Lady has been setting off a flash frenzy each time she steps out, exuding elegance and a trademark understated high octane glamour. She sticks to her no makeup, minimal jewelry look, because she believes makeup does nothing after 30. Her dresses are always no fuss, clean and crisp line of cut, with her favorite color being grey. She has never been seen in print since she became the first lady. Being flashy is just not her style. Wearing flats to the state dinners or charity meetings is a norm with the first lady which not only goes well with the shorter height of her husband but with her subtle sense of dressing as well.
The first French lady and her 11 year old step son, Louis, French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s only child with his ex-wife Cécilia, listened to Sarkozy address General Assembly at United Nations headquarters on Wednesday, September 24. Nicolas and Carla visited Cecilia at her New York apartment on Tuesday.
Bruni-Sarkozy has been seen hanging out with friend, Queen Rania of Jordan. The two attended the Superfriends Champions Of The Global Fund Reception together on September 21, the day of their arrival in NYC.
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, in her address as Global Ambassador for the Protection of Mothers and Children against AIDS, called on the world leaders to commit to eliminate mother-to-child HIV transmission by 2015.
“Around the world only a third of women living with HIV receive the necessary treatment to prevent the transmission. Isn’t it an immense injustice, that thousands of children still are born with HIV, when treatment exists, when no baby needs to be born with HIV?” asked the first lady.
To reach the goal she called on global leaders to double the number of HIV-positive pregnant women who receive effective antiretroviral treatment within 18 months.
