Is Carla Bruni A-List?

Supermodel career takes off

Became one of fashion's top models, walking for Chanel, Versace, and Dior. Her striking looks and Italian elegance made her a sought-after face in haute couture.

Transitions from modeling to music

Retired from modeling at the peak of her career to pursue songwriting. This career pivot initially reduced her public profile but allowed her to explore artistic ambitions.

Quelqu'un m'a dit becomes hit

Her debut album sold 2 million copies and topped French charts, establishing her as a legitimate musical artist. Critical acclaim validated her transition from model to singer-songwriter.

Becomes First Lady of France

Married President Nicolas Sarkozy in a whirlwind romance, becoming First Lady and gaining massive global media attention. Her celebrity status reached its peak during this period.

Returns to music post-Élysée

After Sarkozy's electoral defeat, she refocused on her music career, releasing 'Little French Songs.' While still prominent in French cultural life, she lost the global spotlight of First Lady status.

Respected artist and cultural figure

Continues to release music and remains a fixture in French high society and cultural circles. Well-known and respected but no longer commands the international attention of her First Lady years.
