My style icone – Catherine Deneuve – Glam Radar

by GlamRadar · July 23, 2014

I always leave a long time between my ‘Inspired’ posts (check out the others here) but I felt really inspired to write this one. I have never really told you all who my fashion inspiration is. There are a lot of celebs style which I really adore and draw influence from: Kim Kardashian, Olivia Palermo, Stevie Nicks, Nicole Richie, Elizabeth Taylor…but my ultimate style icon has stood the test of time. She is as stylish and beautiful now aged 68 as she was when she was 25.  She’s beautiful, blonde and French-what could be more stylish than that? She also was one of the world’s most famous Chanel girls. I am of course talking about the stunning actress and model, Catherine Deneuve. CATHERINE DENEUVEcatherine-deneuve Let’s start with her hair. She has the best hair I have ever seen. I hate people who are gorgeous with bad hair. She is the Queen of the big blowdry. When I was blonde I dreamed of having hair like her-no such luck! I imagine it takes a lot of big brushes and rollers to get hair like hers!catherine-deneuve-style-inspiration She was well known for being the “muse” of Yves Saint Laurent-her style has a grace about it. She is a fan of wearing black, but she’s French so that’s okay. Her makeup is always perfection and she always looks appropriate for the occasion. You will often see her sitting in the front row of a fashion show, showing everyone up with how cool she looks! She loves hiding out behind her sunglasses (She actually just brought out her own range of glasses) and always has a fabulous handbag in tow (Her campaign for Louis Vuitton who she has become synonymous with, is stunning). Her 80’s outfits of cigarette pants and oversized blazers and a wide array of amazing evening gowns are as inspiring today as they were when she wore them years ago.catherine-deneuve-style Overall, it is hard to fit into one post how amazing she is. I’ve sat through hours of French films with subtitles (some of which I still don’t understand but she looked beautiful in) and constantly check her Facebook for pictures of her. She is one of the only people who I think looks better in age than in youth. She is the perfect combination of sexiness and class-whether this comes from being French or just from being Catherine Deneuve, I do not know! She knows how to dress and I will continue to watch her, praying that one day I will look as good, sexy and classy as she does. I will shut up and let the pictures do the talking!

She dyes her hair back dark sometimes-her natural hair is as dark as mine!
