Mum's the word, Carla - Telegraph The tragedy for women, Oscar Wilde once wrote, is that they all become like their mothers. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy appears to feel the same way. Since marrying France's then-president in 2008, the supermodel wild child has become a doyenne of respectability. Though once "bored" by monogamy, she now counsels Valérie Trierweiler to marry her partner, François Hollande, to ease public worries. This week, she has even declared the end of feminism, claiming that a woman's place is in the home. Mme Bruni-Sarkozy admits that, despite eight years of therapy, she has become the thing she dreaded: her mother. Of course, it is possible that her diagnosis is mistaken and that she remains as transgressive as ever. Given the louche behaviour of Paris's political class, it is only the happy homemaker (albeit one with multiple homes) who stands out from the crowd.
