Even though a friend has confirmed she is pregnant, Carla Bruni clearly believes it’s not yet time for her baby bump to make its public debut.
As France’s First Lady left the Ritz in Paris after a spot of lunch, she used a large handbag to conceal her tummy.
And a security guard joined the cover-up with a strategically placed arm.
Carla Bruni was spotted hiding her alleged baby bump in similar fashion to that of Grace Kelly, who strategically placed a bag over her bump in 1956
A pale Miss Bruni, 43, wore a loose grey top and what looked suspiciously like a pair of elasticated slacks.
She has so far refused to comment on reports that she is pregnant by her husband, President Nicolas Sarkozy, telling a newspaper: ‘I am remaining tight-lipped about that to protect something.’
But on Monday advertising executive Jacques Seguela, who introduced the couple in 2007, announced: ‘I have it on good authority that the baby will be a boy.’
En garde! A security guard attempts to cover the French first lady's midriff but to no avail
Bruni and Sarkozy began their whirlwind romance after Mr Seguela sat them next to each other at a dinner party.
They married just three months later at a private ceremony in the Elysee Palace on February 2, 2008.
Revelations that the baby will be a boy come just a week after the president's 83-year-old father Pal Sarkozy said the couple did not want to know what they were expecting.
He said: 'They do not want to know the sex of the baby in advance, but I'm sure it will be a girl and she will be as beautiful as Carla.'
No hiding place: Carla was wearing a comfortable grey two piece that did little to disguise her thickening waistline
