Notable arrival in Ankara for the 36th NATO summit, Brigitte Macron once again showcased her recycled vanilla yellow suit, already worn in New Delhi in February. The Slim Trunk bag by Louis Vuitton in camel leather with gold corners completed an outfit where sustainable fashion and haute couture meet in elegant style.
In short: in Ankara, the First Lady confirms a chromatic signature and a responsible approach, blending reused pieces with icons of French fashion. This appearance echoes her yellow looks seen since 2023 and the critical enthusiasm for the butter yellow hue.
The recycled vanilla yellow suit, worn a second time
During her trip on July 7 and 8, the First Lady reused the same vanilla yellow suit seen in New Delhi for the AI Impact Summit in February 2026. The suit, tailored to be refreshed, concretely illustrates a trend of sustainable fashion applied to official attire. The Louis Vuitton finishes, including a floral buttonhole featuring the monogram, remind us that ethics can rhyme with elegance. See the coverage from Femme Actuelle.
A short video excerpt from the meeting illustrates the summit’s atmosphere.
The Slim Trunk bag, an accessory that completes the look
The Slim Trunk bag held in her hands: camel calfskin and golden metallic corners reminiscent of historical trunks. This choice of accessory confirms how a luxury house modernizes its codes for a sober and precious look. The matching brown pumps and the white Louis Vuitton shirt structure the ensemble with refinement.

Successive appearances: coherence and strategy
Before appearing in vanilla yellow, the First Lady chose a black coat during the reception at the presidential palace, posing alongside Tayyip Erdogan and his wife. The photo taken in the lobby of the Lugal hotel in Kavaklidere, released on July 9, highlighted the thoughtful reuse of her official wardrobe. The combination of a recycled piece with an iconic label illustrates a bold and coherent stylistic strategy.
The vanilla yellow, a hue that has become a signature
The shade vanilla yellow has accompanied Brigitte Macron since her outfits in Hanoi to the Pièces Jaunes operation in Bayonne, and even the podium on July 14, 2023. This soft color, celebrated following the butter yellow trend of 2025, illuminates without clashing in photographs and contributes to a warm public image. Specialists in French fashion see this chromatic choice as a subtle way to assert an identity.
