Carla Bruni: Dominates the British press
Super model Carla Bruni, who has recently married French President Nicolas Sarkozy, dominated the British press on Thursday, comparing Princess Diana and Jackie Kennedy.
The picture of the former Italian supermodel Carla Bruni has been published on the front page of nearly every major British paper, shown wearing an elegant grey Christian Dior outfit with matching beret.
Sarkozy's visit, his rare address to both Houses of Parliament and an announcement that France will increase its troop numbers in Afghanistan were, meanwhile, almost reduced to an afterthought.
Daily Mirror wrote in an editorial column in its Thursday edition, "President Sarkozy is welcome to come again -- as long as he brings wife Carla". The coverage was a welcome contrast to a full-frontal nude photograph of Carla Bruni-Nicolas Sarkozy dating from 1993, to be sold by Christie's auction house, published in a number of British tabloids on Wednesday.
The Daily Mail adverted to that picture on its front page and highlighted it as "Picture special on Carla's state visit (and this time she remembered to put some clothes on)", described her as the "First Lady of Chic".
Robert Hardman, a columnist for the paper, wrote that he "didn't hear anyone discussing the state of bilateral relations. In her immaculate little grey suit and her pillbox hat, Carla Bruni was the only topic of conversation.
Andrew Gimson, columnist of Daily Telegraph wrote about Bruni-Sarkozy that "many of us decided at once that if we were going to be seduced by anyone, we would rather be seduced by her. Miss Bruni looked as demure as a convent girl, and as ready to be naughty if the spirit ... moved her".
The business daily said in its editorial column, "The seemingly heartfelt appeal of Nicolas Sarkozy ... on his state visit to Britain to upgrade the entente cordiale to an entente amicale is both welcome and timely".
But it was Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy who were the star of the first day of the French president's two-day state visit, with a headline on the front page of the Daily Telegraph neatly summing it up: "Sarkozy tries to seduce us but everyone loves Carla".
