Speaking to French magazine Madame Figaro, the singer and model talked about returning to the catwalk for Balmain and posing for one of YSL’s recent campaigns, confessing she feels ‘too old’ to model and felt strange’ about the fact she is old enough to be the younger models’ mother. 

Carla admitted she has gone through therapy to address her fear of commitment, and considers her marriage to former French President Nicolas Sarkozy an ‘accomplishment.’ 

Bruni said she didn’t have a particular relationship with beauty, but that she prefers grace and charm over ‘pure beauty’ 

‘I have a silhouette and a style, perhaps, but I make unspeakable efforts to stay thin: two hours of sports per day, some barre, some elliptical bike, a little bit of Pilates. 

‘Beauty is also an inconvenience,’ she added, saying she felt she was ‘destabilised’ by returning to modeling in campaigns for YSL and Balmain after a  lengthy break.

She revealed it was ‘bizarre’ to realise she is old enough to be the mother of the other models and said she felt too old to model.

‘Actually, I think it’s not of my age anymore,’ she said, adding she was the youngest in her family.    

Reflecting on her early years, the model said she felt she was tall and lanky and felt invisible. 

She talked about going through a late puberty, which made her appreciate the looks she got at the beach as a 17-year-old. 

She admitted she likes to seduce and please people, but without a sexual aim, and said pleasing others was more interesting than beauty, which fades with age. 

The singer, who focused on her music and philanthropic activities when she lived at the Elysee Palace from 2008 to 2012 as France’s First Lady, caused a sensation when she walked the runway for Balmain in 2021. 

She also starred in YSL’s spring summer photo campaigns, showing off her age-defying physique in revealing outfits  

She said that she still loves fashion and considers it a second family. 

Speaking of her marriage to Nicolas Sarkozy in 2008, she said it was important for her to get married.

The model admitted she used to struggle to commit, but credited therapy for helping her to cope with these issues. 

She said psychoanalysis helps people make out what’s coming from themselves and other. 

Speaking of her daughter Giulia, ten, after she shared a picture of her on Instagram, the model said she hoped to raise her by example. 

Carla, who also shares her son Aurélien with the French radio host Aurélien Enthoven added adults who behave well usually raise children who behave well.  

She said her favourite qualities were kindness and generosity and that while she is a self-described mother hen, she does not want to control her children.   

She said she tries to be a present mother for her children and to support them best she can.
