As first reported by The Huffington Post, the typically Dior-clad French First Lady/model/singer performed "And I Love Her" alongside Harry Connick Jr. on "Le Grand Journal" wearing a T-shirt, jeans and shrunken band jacket from the Stella McCartney for GapKids line.

Here's a look at the Stella McCartney for GapKids collection and the jacket Bruni wore, below.
