Victoria Starmer, especially, and Giorgia Meloni both chose well for the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bians in sweltering temperatures.
Brigitte Macron looks a bit stiff, but smart as usual, imo.

I can't say I like any of the looks. I'm not familiar with their names, but Mrs. Starmer looks too casual, second lady in baggy suit looks overwhelmed, and Mrs. Macron, while always correct, looks a bit stiff.

I do like what Mrs. Carney wore; it looks like a off white linen shift with linen jacket with trim.

why does Macron always manage to look cool

Because he’s French?

NotSpaghetti Wed 17-Jun-26 07:04:54

I expect he would also look cool if he was Italian!

I loathe wide leg trousers! I think both women look ridiculous in them. Unless you're a very tall bean pole they wear you instead of vice versa.

MartavTaurus Wed 17-Jun-26 08:14:46

And then it was all change, again!

Unfortunately Victoria Starmer wore an almost identical dress to another lady in red. Luckily Lady Starmer was placed further back in the official group photo! The other lady is a "best" friend of Brigitte Macron.
This photo is from the French press. Paris Match has a better spread, but the images won't reproduce here.

I think Brigitte is the secret Trump flattery weapon! My eyes were drawn to Ursula von der Leyen’s legs in this photo, black tights look out of place in the heat.

I've an awful feeling they might even be boots! 😂
Surely not!

I’ve no idea where Lady S’s brown outfit came from, MT62 but it’s affordable for the masses to copy, especially if Tu have one of their 25% off promos.

MartaVTaurus I’ve read that tomato red is this summer’s colour. I like red myself but not tomato red.

MartavTaurus Wed 17-Jun-26 13:09:51

The Brazilian lady certainly wears the colour very well SueDonim. I don't know about you, but I'm too blond and fair for it, though it would be OK for spilling my ketchup down!

MartavTaurus Wed 17-Jun-26 13:20:11

This beautiful lady.

Norah Wed 17-Jun-26 14:24:25

Madame Macron looked very smart. Nice legs, nice skirt length.

Mrs. Carney, PM Takaichi looked smart and appropriate.

SueDonim Wed 17-Jun-26 14:40:55

Oh yes, that person looks lovely, MartavTaurus. It is indeed a very good colour to wear when I eat spaghetti bolognaise. grin I have real) reddish chestnut hair but dark eyes so can wear red but I have to be picky with the exact colour. It’s a winter colour for me, as well.

Bazza Wed 17-Jun-26 15:10:10

I know that there is a lot of brown around at the moment, but to me it’s a winter colour, we have enough of drab colours around in the colder months. I will admit though to some brown clothes do look very smart, I just won’t be buying any.

The men could have done with light colours and perhaps linen suits with no ties.

Plevey08 Wed 17-Jun-26 18:29:26

That's so funny SueDonim 'I wanted to play noughts and crosses '. Me too

LauraNorderr Wed 17-Jun-26 19:07:30

Actually looking back at the photo of Lady Starmer I’d say she looks the cats whiskers in that outfit the more I look at it the more I like it. Funny how stuff grows on you.

LauraNorderr Wed 17-Jun-26 19:08:20

Sorry I meant the brown outfit.

greyfur Wed 17-Jun-26 19:35:50

LadyStarmer is tall and willowy, like the Princess of Wales. She should study how she dresses

I think she is a person in her own right and no need to study royalty?
The outfit is fine.

Well, 8 out of 10 would agree with you.

Here's Brigitte Macron in another outfit this evening waiting to receive Trump at Versailles.

Casdon Wed 17-Jun-26 20:54:30

Even Trump can’t out-gold Versailles! I think she looks very nice.

MartavTaurus Wed 17-Jun-26 20:59:09

It looks stunning in the sunset. 🏰

LauraNorderr Wed 17-Jun-26 21:46:11

Mme Macron looks tres chic in that outfit.

By the "casual smart" look she looks like a real human woman not a dolled up "celeb". Accessible, friendly, "real".
