Brigitte Bardot Fashion

Bardot is someone I constantly take inspiration from whilst dressing. I even have a Bardot style mood board (A2) on my wall. My favourite piece of her style is the ballet shoe because like her I prefer flats or barefoot.
Bardot’s hairstyle was known for big hair, messy and long .For her makeup, it was all about the eyes!! With black eye liner, sometimes both top and bottom of the lids and tips on the corner of the eyes. Her fashion style consisted of feminine dresses that fitted at the waist or had a wide belt. Other key elements of her fashion was: black tights, leotards, tight fitted clothes, black hair band worn over messy hair, a black bow in the hair, skinny jeans, cute cardigans, simple day dresses and trench coat to name a few. She also made gingham popular again when she married Jacques Charrier, she wore a gingham pink knee length dress which was unconventional. As gingham was considered to be more like a cheap table throw fabric/print then “in” fashion.
