French Muse Brigitte Bardot's Best Beauty Looks
She’s the doe-eyed French beauty whose bouffant hair and sun-kissed skin continue to inspire industry experts today. Having arrived on screen in the 1950s, she swiftly rose to film-star fame and became one of the defining sex symbols of the mid-20th century. It’s easy to see why: those pillowy lips, the voluminous blonde mane (complete with stellar curtain bangs), and that arresting, wide-eyed stare…not to mention her chic Riviera wardrobe.
Now an animal rights activist at 89 years old, Bardot has said: “I gave my beauty and my youth to men [and] I am going to give my wisdom and experience to animals.” If that’s not sage advice for one’s older years, we don’t know what is.
