Brigitte Macron visits Russian circus in white – after starting day in black for memorial

Brigitte Macron, 65, and her husband Emmanuel Macron, 40, are in Russia, and the couple started the day laying flowers at the Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery, where the victims of the World War II Nazi blockade are buried.

Reflecting the serious nature of the occasion, Brigitte wore all black.

She teamed a pair of skinny black jeans with a long black coat which featured gold buttons.

Underneath, a white shirt could be seen. Brigitte’s hair was swept back into a chic updo.

The President’s wife completed her outfit with a pair of black leather ankle boots.

Later in the day, Brigitte visited the Upsala Circus in Saint Petersburg for a more jolly meeting.

She ditched her coat and instead wore a white leather jacketed with silver studs, giving her outfit a more relaxed feel.

For both visits, Brigitte kept her makeup simple, opting for heavy mascara and nude lipstick.

For her arrival in Russia, Brigitte stepped off the plane in a slinky black dress which showed off her slender legs.

Despite the mild weather, she accessorised the elegant woolen mini with a beige trench coat, unbuttoned to show off her svelte physique.

The French power couple are in the Russian city ahead of the International Economic Forum.

This is an annual Russian business event, which has been held in the country since 1997.

Despite her trip abroad, Brigitte has been busy this week, and held meetings Paris the day before she flew off.

Macron hosted French-Moroccan activist Latifa Ibn Ziaten at the Elysee Palace.

She dressed in business casual attire for the meeting, showing off her slim legs in a pair of drainpipe jeans.

She paired these with a simple navy v-neck top and a navy blazer.

The blazer, which she wore open, nipped in at the waist, highlighting Brigitte’s slender frame.

A pair of navy silk court shoes completed the outfit.

Brigitte’s hair was freshly blowdried, and had been curled at the ends.

The French President’s wife kept her makeup simple, wearing lashings of mascara and nude lipstick.
