Sophie Davant just marked a milestone for her clan in Sicily. On October 3, 2026, her son Nicolas Sled, born from her previous marriage to journalist Pierre Sled, married his partner Alexandra. The television icon shared her joy on social media after proudly accompanying her eldest son to the ceremony venue. Yet amid the flood of congratulations from her followers, the TV star also endured a wave of targeted criticisms of her wardrobe choice.
A Firm Clarification on the Color of Her Outfit
For this grand day under the Italian sun, the groom’s mother opted for an elegant jumpsuit complemented by a hat. Very quickly, several online observers criticized the look, arguing that it appeared to be black, a hue often deemed unsuitable for a wedding.
In response to the fashion remarks, Sophie Davant posted a video message. Back in France under overcast skies, the partner of William Leymergie set the record straight.
“I wanted to thank you because you sent me so many lovely messages. I think it touched you to see me so moved at this ceremony. It’s not every day that you marry off your son,” she first said before getting to the point and quieting the debate about her outfit.
Sophie Davant stressed that she was not wearing a “black outfit“, despite the negative comments. In fact, she wore a simple, navy blue, chic ensemble. A deliberate choice to fade into the background: “I didn’t want the spotlight to be on me, I wanted people to see only my son and my daughter-in-law.”
A True Moment of Family Happiness
Fortunately, this wardrobe controversy did little to dull the precious memories of the day in Italy. It’s worth noting that Davant’s daughter, Valentine, was also there as a bridesmaid in a bright red dress to support her brother. The Italian sojourn will undoubtedly remain a memorable moment for the entire family.
