Following the match, Macron changed her attire for the official closing ceremonies of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Macron favored black-and-white dressing for the occasion, wearing a white blazer with a sharp black collar, white lapels and black buttons.
The blazer featured a slim silhouette. Macron paired the piece with tailored black capri trousers. She also carried a small statement bag in black and wore delicate jewelry similar to the pieces she wore during the women’s basketball match.

Suited looks have long been a favorite of Macron. Throughout her time in France’s political spotlight, the French first lady has worn chic variations on tailored looks that remain true to her style sensibility.
Macron previously wore a Louis Vuitton skirt suit look for a gala dinner ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics and put a vibrant twist on political party colors during France’s latest round of elections last July.
