Supermodel-turned-singer-turned-French First Lady, Carla Bruni, is no stranger to high-end, often spotted in Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent, but now she's gotten a taste of a whole new new level of luxury -- presidential jets!

According to the Daily Mail, President Sarkozy ("President Bling-Bling" to the French press) ordered a huge round of planes last year for presidential use.

Now, the first jet, a Dassault Falcon 7X (worth a whopping $81.28 million), has been delivered with "Carla One" hand-painted on the side!

With an Airbus A330-200 on the way (could this be "Carla Two?"), Sarkozy will soon have the largest plane of any European leader, but still smaller than President Obama's Air Force One.

Bruni and Sarkozy's relationship developed over "a shared love of private planes which goes back to the days when they were dating." reports the Daily Mail.

Perhaps in a measure of damage control, aviation expert Jean Guisnel of France's Le Point magazine says that the interiors of "'all official French planes'" are "'sober and elegant," the site reports.

But with these two, we're betting that doesn't exactly mean shabby chic. Bring on the champers!
