Who What Wear readers know we have a thing for French-girl style. We regularly follow the chicest Parisian brands, tap our favorite French influencers for advice, and break down the best ways to copy that je ne sais quoi. So naturally, we're all ears when an up-and-coming, impeccably chic French actress offers us pointers.
In an interview with Vogue, Paris-born actress (and the new face of Roger Vivier) Ana Girardot explained what French-girl style means to her. "It's sophisticated but with a crazy twist," she told the magazine. "For example, we love to wear extravagant evening outfits even though we dress low-key during the day. The shoes and bag always become the center of attention."
Girardot also elaborated on her own personal style. "I tend to be minimalist and classic, but very often with a whimsical twist," she told the magazine. "I like to add fantasy to a very classic Parisian look." Now that she has a major fashion campaign under her belt, we're expecting to see plenty more of Girardot in the future.
