Carla Bruni gets back to work in dazzling Bulgari campaign

Carla Bruni enjoyed a five year reign as France's first lady alongside husband Nicholas Sarkozy, the country's president from 2007 to 2012.

And now, following Sarkozy's defeat in the last General Election, Carla Bruni, 45, is slowly getting back to her previous life as a high-fashion model and acclaimed singer.

She stars in a stunning new campaign for Bulgari shot by Terry Richardson, her first since her husband left office.

Draped in luxurious high jewels Bruni radiates that sophisticated Italian-French beauty that brought her fame as a young model in the late 1980s.

Dressed elegantly and looking radiant, Carla displays her self-confidence and joie de vivre wearing a plethora of exquisite Bulgari haute jewels matched with watches, bags and eyewear.

Bruni also released her fourth album ‘Little French Songs’ in April.
