Adored by Yves Saint Laurent and Alain Delon. The living nymph of French cinema slipped into the imagination of an entire generation until she transcended the limits of time and space and was mythologized as one of the greatest It Girls of the century.

&ldquo;Call it charisma or magnetism, or just the magic spell she could cast. Whatever it is, it was really amazing. There was something so obviously unique about her. Of course she had perfect posture and the most beautiful walk. But it was more than that. I'd walk into a room full of people and the whole place would stop . I saw it happen all the time, especially in restaurants, where people who were about to put a fork in their mouth would literally freeze right where they were, as if she was sending signals and they instinctively knew she was there." she her friend and director Nina Companeez. We are talking about Brigitte Bardot , the woman who needs no introduction because her light is inimitable .
Without thinking twice, Bardot is an undoubted reference in fashion and the seventh cinema . Eternal activist for vegetarianism and <a href="https://www.lofficielmexico.com/estilo-de-vida/veganismo-el-estilo-de-vida-que-quieres-iniciar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">veganism</a> , as well as for animal liberation . A bourgeois girl who, despite her indisputable fame, tried to stay as far away as possible from Hollywood, in her opinion, a place where people ate each other alive.
His great breakthrough came with Et Dieu cr&eacute;a la femme (1956). It was followed by Les Bijoutiers du clair de lune (1958), La V&eacute;rit&eacute; (1960), Les Amours c&eacute;l&egrave;bres (1961), Le M&eacute;pris (1963) Masculin Feminin (1966), to name a few.

In fashion , she was a muse to <a href="https://www.lofficielmexico.com/moda/5-minutos-conocer-yves-saint-laurent-trayectoria" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yves Saint Laurent</a> (they shared a love of the tuxedo; in fact, the actress appeared wearing the iconic ensemble at the London premiere of Shalako ) and <a href="https://www.lofficielmexico.com/moda/bolsa-1969-brigitte-bardot-paco-rabbane" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paco Rabbane</a> , who, in 1966, made her a dress made to measure with your favorite industrial material. However , his favorite was the couturier Jean Bouquin , he understood his groovy style immediately: «He knew better than anyone how to dress me, wrinkle me, show me off, disguise me, undress me, sexify me, adorn me and confuse me». Her style marked an indisputable trend : wide fabric ribbons and headbands , which she exchanged for flowers on special occasions , an impeccable cat eye liner and an effortless look that consisted mainly of simple outfits (pants, skirts, baggy sweaters). . It was common to see her with ballet flats, understandable because of her vast experience as a dancer, especially if they were from the Repetto brand, her favorite. She was the one who defined the French - Girl Chic so used to date.

A few months shy of his fortieth birthday, Bardot announced his official retirement from film. Instead, he wanted to continue devoting himself to his greatest passion: animals. On one occasion, she confessed: “ I gave my beauty and youth to men . Now I am giving my wisdom and experience , the best of me , to the animals . His career as an activist is amazing. In its history, it has achieved: a decrease of between 30 and 50% in the consumption of horse meat in countries where it is still legal. In 1986, she started the Fondation Brigitte Bardot , a non-profit institution for the protection of species, and even invested her own money to achieve important status, from clothing to jewelry. In 1992, its foundation was declared of public utility.

Now , at 87 , our favorite inspiration continues her hard work for sentient species , while being proud to be the mythologization of the perfect muse , that woman who , along with her matchless physical beauty , conquers the world for her mind , heart , delicacy and star .
