From an evening dress in deep red, a symbol of good luck in China, to a beautiful white coat and blue coat dress, French first lady Brigitte Macron looked the epitome of French chic accompanying her husband, French President Emmanuel Macron, on his state visit to Beijing and Xian this week – while also playing some savvy fashion diplomacy.

For her first photo op with Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife, Peng Liyuan, after her arrival in Beijing on January 8, Macron chose a black coat with gold buttons and a chain-strap handbag, a simple and understated look accentuated with a very French scarf tied around her neck.

While visiting the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Emperor Qin Shihuang in Xian, Macron opted for a red coat from Parisian label Balmain paired with a Louis Vuitton scarf and Christian Louboutin bag and boots. The first lady has shown a predilection for Balmain and Louis Vuitton before, and is close to Louis Vuitton’s artistic director, Nicolas Ghesquiere.
