French President Emmanuel Macron made a striking entrance at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Tuesday, drawing immediate attention as he stepped onto the stage wearing blue-tinted aviator sunglasses indoors. The unexpected accessory quickly became a focal point, standing out alongside a speech that addressed major geopolitical tensions and economic priorities facing the international community.
Macron’s appearance came during a high-profile session attended by political leaders, business executives, and policy experts from around the world. As he addressed the audience, the French president delivered pointed remarks on global governance, international law, and economic cooperation, while his choice of eyewear sparked widespread curiosity and discussion.
The sunglasses were not a fashion statement or an attempt to cultivate mystery. Instead, they were linked to a personal and medical reason that Macron had already disclosed days earlier during a public appearance in France.
