The teenage daughter of Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni has been described as “more of a woman than ever” on the cover of a fashion magazine, sparking outrage in France.

Giulia Sarkozy, who is 13, posted a series of online videos in which she is seen lip-syncing to provocative rap songs.

Madame Figaro, one of the country’s most popular upmarket glossy magazines, ran pictures of Giulia, and reported: “We discover a teenager who is more of a woman than ever.”

In response, furious critics have described the magazine’s coverage of the daughter of the former French president and Italian supermodel as “shocking”, saying: “She’s only a girl”.

Referring to the short films on TikTok, Madame Figaro wrote: “Giulia films herself facing the camera, dressed in a black tank top, with straight hair, cheekbones and eyes subtly made up.”

While conceding she is “just 13 years old”, it referenced her “model looks” and said they are “an obvious nod to the legacy of her mother, a catwalk icon in the 1990s”.
