Brigitte Bardot – what was her uniqueness based on?

Since the 1960s, Brigitte Bardot, known as BB, continues to fascinate with her modern, sexy style. The beautiful blonde, glamorous in every way, casual, is to this day a mythical figure for many generations of women. Elle’s first icon, the embodiment of the free and rebellious woman. Simone de Bouvoir stated: “She combines the green fruit and the femme fatale.” In terms of fashion, it left its mark on her and future generations. Each of her clothing items has become iconic. She was always one step ahead of many celebrities of her era. Her favorite designer was Jean Bouquin, who became a close friend. Symbolizing the “ideal,” she claimed, “Unlike many other women, I was never confident. Probably this doubt, which never left me, gave me a kind of impertinence, disobedience through it.”

Angelic beauty and trend-setters

She was born in 1934 in Paris. She attended classical dance classes. Her impeccable figure owes a lot to these activities, in addition to natural factors.

Her angelic face, dreamlike figure and derived charisma have become her trademark. She became a star of cinema and song. Her appearance and style of dress, the manner of a liberated woman, have become synonymous with the Gentle Woman, and at the same time a femme fatale.

Brigitte was able to draw on classic fashion elements to create new looks. A style that has become a must-have. The hairstyle, almost “disheveled” and blonde color set a new trend in the area

Once in every five years “over the knee boots” make a comeback. And every time I’m tempted to give it a try and buy them, but always have some excuses not to. The very small, sane part of my brain says: “You will look like a cheap tart, you can’t wear them to work (some of my clients are extremely conservative christian white males), and they will only last one season. But then I saw these pictures of the Dutch Royal Family: Princess Maxima is wearing them! Shocking! I mean, if she can wear them, so can I! So maybe I’m going to listen to the little devil in my head this time and wave my creditcard…
