Name: Carla Bruni-SarkozyAge: 42, born December 23, 1967
Occupation: This Italian born heiress moved to France at age seven. She studied art and architecture in school, but couldn’t deny her fabulous cheek bones and left school at 19 to become a model. Carla has struck a pose for Dior, Givenchy, Sonia Rykiel, Christian Lacroix, Karl Largerfeld, John Galliano, Chanel, and Versace (to name a few). In 1997 Carla decided to be a model slash something and devoted herself to music releasing two widely successful albums before marrying Sarkozy. Her first lady status didn’t compromise her career though. She released her third album Comme Si de rien n’etait (As If Nothing Happened) in July 2008 although word is Carla’s man boosted album sales by slipping copies of the CD in Ministry of Agriculture gift bags. Awah, we like to think our FBF*s would do the same.
DABA Girl Status: Carla and a newly divorced Nicolas met in 2007 at a dinner party and married in February 2008 in Paris. The marriage was Bruni’s first and Sarkozy’s third. We hope these two last but don’t hold your breath, Carla has said she is easily “bored with monogamy.”A true DABA Girl, Carla is outspoken and knows how to ruffle a few feathers–it isn’t everyday a first lady’s nude photos sell at auction for $91,000!
*Sarkozy obvi isn’t your typical FBF in that he conducts his business in a political office as opposed to on the trading floor, but he meets our qualifications just fine.
