Macron coordinated with a double-breasted coat that featured wide lapels accented by large buttons, and a blouse and bow-neck scarf. Her pleated skirt was accessorized with a Louis Vuitton belt that had the fashion house’s logo in gold.

The minimalism continued with pink lipstick and a light touch of eyeshadow. Her blonde hair kept its typically voluminous, layered style with soft waves and bangs.
