Porscha, you have described a level of elegant, controlled feminity that no doubt we all desire, and have set the bar very high. There will be much studying, staring and contemplation this weekend.. I didn't see too much of the Sarkozy / Bruni visit, but you're quite right. She did look reassured, great repose. Commentators likened her outfits to Jackie Kennedy's, they were very elegant, understated, confident. So I think you're right, controlled elegance might well be the order of the day, rather than look-at-me flirtation. This, I think, is why feline qualities are often metaphorically applied to women. Poise, purr, pounce.
a girl at heart and a proper person too
