Brigitte Macron Brightens Bastille Day Parade in Yellow Dress

French First Lady Brigitte Macron arrived at the Bastille Day Parade on the Champes-Élysées in Paris, on Friday, wearing a soft yellow sheath dress, pairing it with a cropped bolero jacket with statement buttons and a shawl collar.

She coordinated the dress with champagne-colored, pointy-toe pumps.

Her husband, French President Emmanuel Macron, looked quintessentially diplomatic in a dark navy suit, with a white shirt and knit tie. Navy suits are a go-to for Emmanuel Macron during Bastille Day, and he wore a similar one to the 2022 parade.

France regularly hosts international guests for Bastille Day, and this year invited Indian prime minister Narendra Modi; about 240 Indian troops participated in the Bastille Day Parade. Brigitte Macron stopped to pose for pictures with the Miss France director Cindy Fabre and the current reigning Miss France Indira Ampiot.
