Like the devil, she wears Prada, and as Marie Antoinette, it is equally hate and admiration. History will show with whom she more common. Photographs taken not so long ago at the summit of the Group of Eight, says a lot. The very first appearance on the international stage in the role of first lady France showed the world the seriousness of its intentions. This is unlikely He is content with the modest role of wife.

It will come only so as it sees fit. And her husband, French President Nicolas Sarkozy will have to accept this, otherwise it will go back as two years ago. Then Cecilia Sarkozy He ran for eight months in New York. At the summit of the Group of Eight is blind Photographers perfect body model wearing a dress made of black lace Lace in the modern wardrobe   by Azzedine Alaia. Nicolas was very attentive to her, touching the hand held - as always. She politely and smiled tightly, and only burning eyes betrayed her true feelings - as always.

At the summit, it appeared only minute, no more, leaving her husband - the only one of all the Heads of State - in alone, bored at a reception hosted by the couple, Merkel. But even absent, she miraculously managed outshine all present. When the June 11, Nicolas Sarkozy mumbled and stuttered on press conference after "some longer than usual lunch with Vladimir Putin ", everyone knew that in her presence he would not let himself skip the extra shot of vodka. After all, she warned us more Two years ago: "Being the first lady - so dull. Political correctness is not included in the number of my strengths, I do not fit into their cliches. "

Perhaps it will be denied to say, did not try to change anything, but, nevertheless, since that time, like 18 years ago, she took up with Sarkozy, she radically changed his life. "It everywhere followed him, listened to him, gave advice, watched his diet and was the work schedule "- says Vanessa Schneider, one of the few journalists, even interviewed her in 2004. After becoming in 2002 the Minister of the Interior and the second figure in the government of Chirac, Nicolas Sarkozy, the first thing highlighted Cecilia office near with his. He kept his diary and gave advice. She was an honorary position, but not It was salary. It was everything and nothing - a position with whom she had fought all his life.

All who knew her at the time, talk about its rigor and demands. However, before the cameras, it can be very charming. More recently, a reporter waylaid her on the street and I asked a provocative question about the relationship with Marc Levy, French writer living in London - there were rumors of an affair between them. Cecilia - the very charm - without hesitation, replied, "Yes, once I had lunch with him. She met his girlfriend - she's just lovely. " Similar rumors nor Nicolas what, but Cecilia had "under the skin", as he once told his mother. He's He warned that it is - "the only part of my career, which is not subject to discussion. "

As president, Sarkozy promised, his family in the near future will move to the Elysee Palace, the official the residence of the French president, but they continue to live in his apartment in Neuilly.

"Moving large families - business laughing, time-consuming, "- tried to explain Sarkozy. They say, that the true reason for delay in the move that Cecilia did not want to leave their homes, although enthusiastic about the idea of ​​updating the situation in the Palace. However, living on the street Faubourg Saint-Honoré (Elysée Palace - House number 45) has at least one, but very weighty advantage - up the largest stores on the doorstep. Within walking distance - boutiques Vuitton, Fendi, Pucci, Céeline, Givenchy and Marc Jacobs, all the brands owned by Bernard Arnault and conglomerate LVMH. And Bernard Arnault, by the way, was Sarkozy's best man at a wedding in 1996.

Of course, Cecilia can simply refuse to move into the Elysee Palace. She would much rather He moved to output Sarkozy family residence, La Lanterne, the hunting lodge XVIII century near the Palace of Versailles, with pool and tennis court. By the way, there it is It has already started to rearrange the furniture.

However, the authority extends Cecilia not only on the conversion of family nests. Sixteenth of May at the inauguration ceremony Nicolas Sarkozy, it is slightly corrected the guest list, deleting a number of important figures; and in addition, he asked the orchestra of the Republican Guard played Asturias, music song composed by her great-grandfather, a Spanish composer Albeniz; instead of French couturier unpatriotic chose Italian brand satin dress from Prada with open hands - crying protocol violation.

None of her step does not go unnoticed; her absence on the important events discussed and condemned. Sixth of May, in the night after the second round of the election, when her husband and the father of her third child, was elected president France, it was not there. Nicolas Sarkozy alone Loneliness - this is not new, or why am I still alone?   addressed the nation, one It poisoned on the Champs-Elysees, where he waited for the sons and daughters. But not Cecilia. There was it and the dinner with my closest friends and colleagues in a restaurant Sarkozy on the very famous street in the world. And yet, it is - and with great intelligibility - make a list of those invited to dinner guests, which I was not going to entertain. And when, finally, a few minutes before midnight, she a few moments appeared on Place de la Concorde, where the gala was held Concert in honor of Sarkozy's victory in the elections, her beautiful face was a smile. It was pointed out serious, even angry.
