Good looks definitely run in the Bruni family, as the latest cover of French Elle demonstrates.
The former first lady of France Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, 45, and her sister Valeria Bruni-Tedeshi, 48, pose together wearing simple, understated knits in the photograph by Paul Schmidt.
It is a defiantly low-key look for one of France’s most prestigious fashion magazines: neither wears heavy make-up and their hair is left messy and appears unstyled. It’s certainly a long way from Carla’s ultra-glamorous modelling days in the 90s.
Inside, the sisters, who are rarely interviewed together, discuss discuss their ‘incredibly precious’ relationship.
Carla says that journalists have tried to portray Valeria and she as rivals, with conflicting political views. The model-turned-singer-turned-first lady, whose artistic efforts have been occasionally criticised by the press, says Valeria agreed to be interviewed with her ‘to protect her’ and to ‘rehabilitate her from an artistic point of view.’
Since marrying then-President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2008, Carla’s work as singer has come under intense scrutiny, with lyrics dissected for hints about the private life of the couple.
In the interview, Valeria admits she’s been ‘anxious’ about her little sister for the last few years, particularly about the way in which she has sidelined her singing career, and the ‘distorted’ reception her work receives.
Valeria is herself a successful actress and director. Her most recent film, A Castle In Italy, which she wrote, directed and starred in, was shown at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
Valeria recently revealed that the film was inspired by events from her own life. It tells the story of a wealthy Italian industrialist family who settle in France – the Bruni-Tedeschi family left Turin in 1975, reportedly to escape the threat of kidnapping by the Red Brigades, a Marxist-Leninist Revolutionary group active in Italy in the 1970s .
Bruni Tedeschi’s partner until last year, Louis Garrel, plays her character’s younger lover; her mother Marisa Borini appears as her surviving parent; and the death of her brother in 2006 from AIDS complications is depicted.
There is no character based on Mrs Sarkozy in the film.
