.Carodemaigret has co-authored a new book, 'Older But Better But Older,' a more nuanced compilation of musings about the pros and cons of aging.
and her best friend-slash-co-author Sophie Mas are back with a follow-up, published this month by Doubleday. But whereas the bestselling was a laugh-out-loud rollick through love, style, and bad habits,is a more nuanced compilation of quips, musings, digressions, pep talks, and commiserations about the pros and cons of aging. A companion’s guide to graze on, leave on the nightstand, and return to at leisure, or as needed.
On the afternoon De Maigret turns up at the Hotel Pigalle in the 9th arrondissement, she’s fresh from attending a funeral, having rocked out at a friend’s concert into the wee hours the night before—a dissonant turn of events, not unlike some of the situations in her new book. But ever the pro, she shows up, in black jeans and a t-shirt, no makeup and her signature tousle, game to talk about the perks and pitfalls of maturing, and how to do it in style.
Aging, of course, beats the alternative. Even so, in some ways, “older” crept up on De Maigret, and she slowly began to realize that things aren’t like they used to be. “After ashow two years ago, someone told me I had a really sexy expression on the runway, and I wasn’t sure what they were talking about. Then I realized I’d been squinting because I couldn’t see the end of the catwalk,” she says.
One example: You suddenly realize the president of France is younger than you. Or it might be not getting hit on at parties anymore, or at least not byguy . It might be everyday indignities, like when a younger woman says she wants to be like you when she gets older—but instead of finding that stupid you’re charmed. Or things might cut a little deeper. Like how gray temples spell “distinguished”… on men.
For De Maigret, the biggest change post-40 was the hard-won serenity that comes from learning to live in the present. “It took a lot of work, but once I figured it out, what a luxury, it’s beautiful,” she observes. With all the mental energy that freed up, she’s moved into a space where she can do the things she wants to do, like directing videos for Chanel, working on her first short film, and collaborating on a project involving one of her lesser known obsessions: food.
