Carla Bruni smiles How Britain falls for the French first lady
During President Sarkozy’s visit this week, Britain has only had eyes for his wife. Yes, she’s beautiful, demure and fantastically chic, but is that the limit of the French first lady’s appeal? Here, we uncover the many other guises of Carla Bruni, from heiress, lauded musician and Left Bank socialist - to the definitive femme libre

Â
Given her eventful past, Carla Bruni could have been considered quite a liability for her husband, Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, on his first state visit to Britain. After all, the first time Bruni punctured British consciousness was a few years back, when she had an affair with Mick Jagger under the nose of then wife Jerry Hall; this week, many newspapers ran a nude photograph of Bruni, taken during her modelling career, which was certainly pretty, but not exactly presidential. Then there was her declaration last year: “I’m monogamous occasionally, but I prefer polygamy and polyandry [its female equivalent].” Excellent! Casting occasional rock chanteuse Bruni in the role of the sweet, uncontroversial consort seemed to offer up the delicious possibility that it could all go very, very wrong.
