Brigitte Bardot seldom appears in public, but she recently visited the Élysée Palace to discuss her charitable foundation’s efforts with the president and his wife.
During the latest French presidential elections, Bardot urged citizens not to support Emmanuel Macron, criticizing him for a perceived lack of compassion. Her concerns stem from her longtime dedication to animal rights and her fight against animal cruelty.
Despite her warnings, Macron was re-elected. However, Bardot chose to set aside her differences and meet with him to address important matters.
At the Élysée Palace, Bardot, who uses crutches, wore black trousers, a round-neck top, and a choker, while Macron dressed casually in jeans and a white shirt.
Photos from the meeting suggest it went well—the 1960s style icon, the president, and the first lady all smiled and appeared to share a warm conversation. It seems Macron convinced Bardot of his sincere commitment to the work of the Fondation Brigitte Bardot, which she founded.
