And after her own magazine put her on the cover under the headline "Francois Hollande's charming asset," she reportedly tweeted in French: "Bravo Paris Match for its sexism - my thoughts go out to all angry women."

"She is someone who has always worked, who's come from nowhere, who's done everything for herself, " said her longtime colleague Labro. "It's going to be very hard to keep doing that and be first lady."
