We only saw her! Invited to Emmanuel Macron’s investiture ceremony this Saturday, May 7, 2022, Roselyne Bachelot showed great audacity by arriving dressed in a total apple green look at the Elysée Palace. Associated with her flashy costume, the minister wore a huge brooch representing a lion’s head in gold as well as a Haute-Couture bag. Next to the sobriety of Brigitte Macron’s total white Louis Vuitton look, the minister was noticed.
Minister of Culture during Emmanuel Macron’s first five-year term, Roselyne Bachelot made a very surprising choice since the color green is deemed to bring bad luck in the entertainment world and is totally prohibited for artists, actors, dancers or musicians. Roselyne Bachelot’s desire to stand out and attract attention or a burning desire to affirm her ecological commitment, the former minister struck the spirits during this investiture where all the other guests were content to wear outfits in the colors sober.
Follower of colorful and very original outfits, Roselyne Bachelot is often talked about for her amazing and surprising looks. In 2008, when she was Minister of Youth and Sports (when Nicolas Sarkozy was president), she went to the Council of Ministers with pink fangs. Last April, the mother of Pierre (born of her marriage to Jacques Bachelot) had chosen to wear a purple set associated with a mask of the same shade. A few months earlier, she had appeared at the Louvre with a red set in satin and velvet, then a few days later, with a set combining different tones of bright blue.
Interviewed by France 2, the former minister (real name Roselyne Cora Marcelle Narquin), who could well be living her last days in office – at least until May 13 – remembered the investiture ceremony with emotion of Jacques Chirac during his second term in 2002: “My best memory of these ceremonies where joy competes with emotion is perhaps Jacques Chirac in 2002, I remember I was in the corner of the room, emotion overcame mewe heard the cannon thundering at the Invalides, and then I started crying… Francis Mer, Minister of the Economy, took me in his arms and told me ‘we don’t cry at an investiture ceremony“.
