Victoria Beckham just made her most iconic "French exit" ever, leaving Paris in a look that could have walked straight off the streets of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The 50-year-old designer, fresh off her killer Paris Fashion Week show , stepped out in an effortlessly chic, all-black ensemble that exuded timeless French sophistication with a modern edge. Rocking a sleek mini dress with floaty sleeves and a cinched waist, from her own brand of course, Victoria turned heads while giving serious ‘je ne sais quoi’ vibes.
Paired with heeled pantaboots that added height and glamour, she carried a structured black handbag that practically whispered ‘quiet luxury.’ Not to mention, the black silk scarf she added to the look, a subtle but oh-so-chic nod to classic Parisian style. If there’s one thing the French girl style is known for, it's the balance of effortless beauty and polished simplicity.
Although technically a British export, Jane Birkin was known for her undone, natural look — think messy hair and no-makeup makeup — while still managing to exude an air of sophistication with a wicker basket in hand. Brigitte Bardot, also was the embodiment of sultry French style with her blonde bedhead hair, bold winged eyeliner, and perfectly tailored mini dresses. Victoria’s outfit perfectly fused these iconic looks: minimal, slightly undone, but with enough structure and modern detail to keep it luxe.
