Also in the front row were French actor Pierre Niney, 33, and actress Natasha Andrews.

Earlier this year, former French first lady Carla opened up about the efforts she’s making to what she calls “staying thin.”

She revealed that her routine involved exercising two hours a day and practicing a rigorous regimen of elliptical, Pilates and barre exercises.

Speaking to French magazine Madame Figaro, the singer and model spoke about returning to the catwalk for Balmain and posing for one of YSL’s recent campaigns.

She said: “I may have a silhouette and a style, but I try my best to stay lean: two hours of exercise a day, a little barre, a little elliptical machine, a little Pilates.”

But she said she has no particular relationship with beauty, preferring grace and charm.

She also confessed that she felt “too old” to model and felt strange that she was old enough to be the mother of the younger models.

Reflecting on her early years, the model also said she feels tall and lanky and invisible.
