No matter the era, Carla Bruni’s style has always been and will always be top-notch. The Italian-born model moved to Paris at age seven and, since marrying the former president of France, has personified French woman style better than anyone else. For proof, just take a look at what she wore during a trip to Cannes, France, to attend the city’s annual film festival.
Spotted at Le Majestic Hotel, Bruni opted for a comfortable army green jumpsuit, which she effortlessly paired with an oversized quilted leather Saint Laurent bag and flip-flops — a sandal style that French women like Bruni can’t resist, but New Yorkers would never wear (and they probably don’t want you to be seen wearing them). Her thongs, in particular, were in maroon leather, perfect for the French Riviera.
Simple, chic, and perfect for a getaway to the south of France, scroll down for our selection of luxury flip-flops to wear in Europe—but avoid once you land at JFK airport.
