The video introduces the concept of feminine etiquette and its importance in today's world. The presenter notes that genuine good manners are increasingly rare, making those who possess them stand out. Etiquette is about showing respect and kindness, aiming to behave appropriately in various situations and avoid causing offence. Mastering etiquette can transform you into a unique and elegant woman, setting you apart from the crowd.
The presenter emphasises that etiquette is a "lost art" that cannot be bought; it must be learned and practised. Elegance and good manners significantly influence how others perceive you, creating a positive impression and fostering comfort through respect and education. The presenter highlights that etiquette is not just about appearance but about behaviour and respect.
Etiquette varies significantly across different countries, and it's essential to educate yourself on the cultural norms of the places you visit. For example, dining customs differ greatly; in France, using a fork and knife is standard, even for burgers, while in India, eating with your hands is appropriate. The presenter shares her fascination with these cultural differences and encourages viewers to be mindful of them.
Presentation is the first thing people notice, so it's crucial to dress appropriately. Wearing casual clothes to a job interview or a formal event is inappropriate, just as wearing a formal gown to a casual barbecue would be. While it's generally better to be overdressed than underdressed, it's important to match your attire to the occasion, such as dressing up when visiting a fine dining restaurant.
Body language significantly impacts first impressions. Maintaining a straight posture, walking gracefully, and making eye contact are all important. A smile and a warm greeting can also make a big difference. Practising these habits will eventually make them feel natural.
When greeting people, do so with a smile and introduce yourself, including your first and last name, especially in professional settings. Remembering and using people's names is important, as forgetting them can be seen as rude. During conversations, avoid interrupting others or dominating the discussion. Being a good listener is a valuable and elegant quality.
Avoid asking overly personal questions about topics such as politics, religion, finances, weight, relationships, or intimate details. If you sense that someone is uncomfortable with a question, change the subject or reassure them that they don't need to answer. Empathy and mindfulness are key to respectful conversation.
Avoid gossiping, as it creates a negative image. Handle conflicts gracefully by remaining calm and composed, even when others are rude or aggressive. It's often best to remove yourself from the situation. Responding calmly demonstrates true elegance and emotional intelligence. Surrounding yourself with people who handle conflicts healthily is also important.
If someone brings up a topic that makes you uncomfortable, politely state that you would prefer not to discuss it, setting a boundary. When dining, keep your phone and handbag off the table. Wait for everyone to be served before you start eating, and avoid talking with food in your mouth. Take your time to eat and appreciate the meal, maintaining a soft, feminine energy and allowing others to speak.
The presenter concludes by thanking viewers and encouraging them to like the video and follow her on Instagram for more content on etiquette. She reiterates that women who embody these qualities are rare and stand out, leaving a lasting impression.

1:34 creme like we say in french because etiquette having good manners and showing respect to people it is so rare nowaday even with people with high power high status anything like that etiquette is kind of a lost art not everybody is elegant and you cannot buy it it's either you learn it and you practice it and it's not because you're put together you're well dressed and everything that you are elegant it's not because you have a beautiful woman that she is elegant and she has good manners and i think that elegance and good manners changes everything on how you perceive someone it immediately gives you such a good impression such a good image about a person it immediately
2:20 makes you feel more comfortable because the per you feel like the person is respectful and is well educated so of course etiquette depends on the countries you're in i suggest you ladies to educate yourself on culture and on manners and etiquette from which country in each country you're going to and what is appropriate depending on the country you are because it completely differ on each country so for example you know i'm french and in france we eat with a fork and knife anything even a burger like a french etiquette is all about eating with fork and knife and like really having your stencils but for example if you go to india eating with your hands is really
3:06 the etiquette it's really appropriate i love traveling and i always notice the culture differences the etiquette differences it's fascinating to me and i love learning more about it for example when i was in new york for three months i really saw how people were and for example in the u.s it's really about being friendly being very outgoing people are very social they're more expressive they express their feelings they express their emotions and it's all about socializing and it's very nice i really loved it because i am a bit like this i'm very into you know socializing having fun being more positive and i like to also express my emotions for example in france being expressing too much your emotions or being too loud or being too expressive or being too friendly can
3:53 come across as fake friends is all about more being discreet just like when you go to switzerland when you go to the uk so it is really depending on the countries and there's no right or wrong it really depends on the culture first of all we're going to talk about the etiquette for your presentation so looking good my darlings i always talk about it when you make a first impression people will make assumptions about you so it's really important to be appropriate in your presentation that is the first thing that people see even before you open your mouth so for example wearing you know sweatpants or jeans at a job interview is not really seen as nice need to be a little bit more dressed up to show a little bit more that you're a professional and that
4:40 you actually care wearing a casual outfit at a formal event is the same it's not appropriate but wearing a foam dress at the cinema is not appropriate also also wearing a formal dress at a barbecue no you're not going to go with a long gown arriving with your high heels at a barbecue you need to be a little bit more casual and don't worry i try to also improve myself on this i tend to be more overdressed most of the time but actually it is better to be overdressed than underdressed for example when you go to a fine dining restaurant trying to be a little bit more dressed up and making a little bit of effort because you don't want to just arrive with sneakers and jeans and these
5:25 kind of restaurants have a certain vibe and a certain level because i think also it's nice to see just the crowd that is really well dressed i love to see that in restaurants and i think in europe people tend to dress up more for example and i love to see that because dressing up is the last art i think just like etiquette what about your body language my darlings your posture have you have a straight posture or are you like this you know it is also your first impression it will matter you're walked you walk gracefully take your time to walk my darlings this is how you get a graceful walk do you make eye contact with people when you talk to them or are you looking on the floor all of that has an impact on your first impression with
6:10 people your presentation is something but also your body language you need to think about it and afterwards the more you practice and the more it's going to become natural do you have a smile or do you have like kind of a resting face like that how you greet people also greeting people you should greet everybody greet everyone with a smile present yourself you can also introduce yourself you know introduce your name and your last name is very nice especially for work meeting try to improve your conversation skills it is always always a good thing to make a good first impression remember and use also people's name it's important to remembers people's name and i know it can be hard
6:55 especially when you just meet someone or you met multiple people but try to remember their name because it can be considered rude if you don't remember their name especially after multiple times if it's one time it's fine but if it's like three four five times and you still don't remember their name people can be offended by that and take it as like you don't care about them also during conversation avoid cutting people off i see that so so much and i think that's the thing that everybody has to work on because i see so many people doing it and like avoid being the only one talking also you're not the only one be mindful etiquette is
7:41 all about being respectful and mindful of the people around you and if you want to have a good first impression if you want to have a good image it's important to let people talk to not interrupt them don't be this person that just talk talk talk talk talk you agree with me right when you see a person that just talk and talk and talk and talk forever wow it's just very tiring and you feel like the person doesn't even want to talk to you they don't even want to listen to you i think practicing being a great listener is such a great quality this such a feminine quality it is such beautiful elegant quality also avoid asking two personal questions like about
8:28 politics religions finances their weight their relationship their sexual intercourse too many details on very intimate things about their life it is considered as rude avoid asking to people oh why aren't you married yet oh have you gained weight or talking about religion for example if you ask a question and you see that the other person is uncomfortable with it i think that you can sense when a person is uncomfortable try to just change the subject or be like no you don't need to respond to that it's okay i respect that try to be mindful and trying to have empathy and sense how the people react it's very important also avoid gossiping ladies it is such a
9:16 bad image when you just gossip and have rumors i mean we all gossip a little bit like we all talk a little bit about other people but when it's becoming too much and when you become this person that just gossip about everybody and it's not always super respectful to try to know everything every little detail about people's life also ladies try to handle conflicts in a graceful way keep your cool and graceful demeanor at any point respond in a graceful way at all time as we say you can kill them with kindness you know when people are rude or when people kind of like are aggressive try to keep you calm because
10:01 that's not worth it they are not worth it they are not worth you getting angry and you getting into it especially in public you don't want to make a scene in public try to keep you calm and just if you want just avoid that person just go go take you away from the situation if you want to respond something you can also try just to keep your calm when you respond it is also how you recognize someone that has true elegance and true emotional intelligence is when you see how this person is handling conflicts how this person is reacting to negative situations this is when you see really how people are how people truly are is when you have something that is not
10:47 going their way because when everything is positive of course people are lovely but when you have a negative situation a conflict something that is wrong how do they react it's important also to surround yourself with people that have the emotional intelligence to be able to handle their conflict in a healthy way if also someone is talking about a subject that makes you uncomfortable sometimes it can happen you know in that case gracefully say that you would prefer not talking about this subject so you can showcase a little bit of your boundaries a little bit of what you don't want to talk about or things that does not concern them the things that are none of their business
11:34 you can actually say it in a soft elegant way also ladies i have a video on how to be elegant and find any restaurant i will really encourage you to see it if you want to have more details but when you are at a dinner keep your phone and your handbag away from the table you don't want it to be on the table wait for everybody also to be served before eating and if you want a table manner video i will be happy to do it of course do not eat and talk at the same time that is just basic but sometimes you know you have people that are talking so so much that they even like just eat and talk at the same time and it's just such a bad image take your
12:20 time to eat you're a lady you take your time for everything especially if you have a nice dinner you're with your husband or you're with your friends take your time it's okay take your time to eat appreciate the food as i always say keep your soft feminine energy appreciate your time around people let them talk listen deeply graceful manner of just being respectful to the people and at the same time having this soft energy it's just so so so beautiful women that are like this are so rare and so it will set you apart from the rest of the crowd thank you so much for watching my beautiful darlings if you want more videos about etiquette i would
