"Is Carla the new Diana?" asked The Daily Telegraph. "Presidential aides hope France's First Lady will become their very own Queen of Hearts."

At home, French newspapers enthused over the sensation created by the new first lady, whose apparent ease with rigid court protocol they put down to her long experience as a model.

"The English conquered by Carla, said Le Parisien daily.

Even the leftwing Liberation daily paid tribute, remarking that Carla had delivered a near faultless performance but adding: "Her husband had more difficulties with protocol."

One British paper said that in her Christian Dior outfit, Carla recalled Jackie Kennedy in her heyday, and the press adulation should help to boost her husband, nicknamed "President Bling-Bling" for his lavish lifestyle.

Their relationship had sent Sarkozy's popularity ratings plunging. Voters complained the president was focusing too much on his private life and not enough on France's economic issues.

Headlines like "Enchante" and "Ooh La La, Madame Sarkozy" showed she is very much a presidential asset as far as the British press is concerned.

Sarkozy, 53, separated from his second wife Cecilia last October following an 11-year marriage and just five months after winning power. By February he had married 40-year-old Bruni.

She has previously been linked with rock stars Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton, as well as US businessman Donald Trump.
