Carla Bruni And Sister Attend Venice Concert In Trench Coats (PHOTOS)

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy attended a concert in Venice on Tuesday night to commemorate the donation of Alberto Bruni-Tedeschi's musical archives to the Fondation Giorgio Cini. Bruni-Tedeschi (who died in 1996) was an industrialist and composer born in Turin who later married Italian concert pianist Marisa Borini. His archives contain a diverse range of manuscript and recordings.

At the event, the orchestra and choir performed an interpretation of "Messe pour la mission de Nyondo," which Bruni-Tedeschi wrote after returning from a trip to Africa. It was first played in Hamburg in 1953.

Carla was accompanied by her mother and her sister, actress Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi. Both Bruni sisters wore big sunglasses and seasonal trench coats:

What the hel....., I mean heck, quit plastering this tired lady on your style headlines and falling all over yourselves calling her stylish and lovely. There is something wrong with her teeth, are they fake? It is tres irritating.

I honestly don't know why this keeps getting deleted, I'm just expressing my unwavering devotion to the French First Lady. Isn't that what this thread is for? You make this boring lady the main topic, be prepared for some snark. There's no reason for this censorship, I'm on topic: Oh my goodness! She is soooo gorgeous! I love how she's wearing that trenchcoat. She has it tied oh so very cleverly! No one has worn shoulder pads/puffed sleeves as well as she does ever in the history of mankind.Wow, look at those black slacks, like, OMG! I can't breathe. Her face is so breathtakingly plastic and pinched, if anyone knows the name of her surgeon, you must give it to me! I have been trying to achieve this look for years! YAWN.

Okay, I get it now. Say all the awful things you want about First Lady Michelle, but be even a tad bit critical about Bruni, you get deleted. Okay, I got it now.

[Cakey4814]

Yep..you got it..

[gabbywill]

Oh, and I do realize the irony of my posting in this dead thread. I just couldn't help myself to add some much needed snark in here for all the delusional Bruni fans/First Lady Michelle ba shers. Also, I feel kind of bad for whoever is submitting these Bruni threads, so here's a much needed post to help get it to 10+!

I like the classic trench coat. Not with puffed sleeves.

[jozzie]

Geez, the sister looks like a poor relation. I thought that family was loaded.

[cgracec]

Eh...really? It is a really boring and unoriginal look. I bet there will be more fabulous trench coats in the upcoming Sherlock Holmes film.

[Politiqo]

Carla fashionable as always... the sister no so much!

[ladydragon]

what praytell is so stylish about trench coats and big brown purses? her sister's purse looks like it could use a good cleaning, and both of them look like they need their hair washed and a good brushing

[mairs]

Her sister's purse looks very tired, I agree.
