Charlotte Gainsbourg poses for the British magazine “Héroine” and takes the opportunity to slip into her favorite clothes.
Anthony Vaccarello, artistic director of Saint Laurent, revealed on his Instagram account the identity of the newspaper’s new cover girl Heroine Magazine : its ambassador, Charlotte Gainsbourg. For the occasion, the actress chose to wear her favorite pieces, YSL branded, of course.
For this black and white shoot, Charlotte Gainsbourg wore her iconic look: an XXL pinstriped suit, completed with a round-necked top, a pair of pointed stilettos and aviator sunglasses. In another photo, the actress chose oversized jeans, as well as an asymmetrical draped top, sold for 3,590 euros by the house of Saint Laurent. Outfits that she could easily have borrowed from Jane and Serge’s locker rooms. Legacy allure.
In the Gainsbourg family, I ask for the daughter. Of Jane Birkin, Charlotte inherited this effortless look. A little dress his long silhouette: straight jeans, an oversized shirt and a man’s jacket give him crazy style. HAS Serge Gainsbourg, the actress certainly borrowed her attraction to the masculine tuxedo and her nonchalant demeanor. Analysis.
Charlotte Gainsbourg is one of those who likes to focus on basics, because they are an integral part of a silhouette that works every time. For the actress and singer, that means jeans. If she searched for the perfect pair for a long time (and regularly stole her mother’s in her youth), she ended up creating her own model for Zara in 2021. “I like the fact that I don’t think too much about how I dress. In the morning, I don’t want to spend more than 10 minutes on it”she then confided to French Vogue, specifying that they prioritize practicality above all else. In everyday life, she pairs her denim with black sweaters and men’s shirts. A perfect formula, which she continues to follow to the letter.
Like many women, Charlotte Gainsbourg does not seem to want to fit into a single box, and she is right. Between loose, rather masculine suits and low-cut dresses, why choose? She likes to wear both. A fan of monochrome on a daily basis, she does not hesitate to adopt printed parts on the red carpet. From time to time, she swaps her high heels with futuristic lines for almost flat ankle boots, which in no way change her impeccable look.
What are the star’s favorite brands?
First fan of Anthony Vaccarello, Charlotte Gainsbourg naturally adopted the style Saint Laurent, a brand of which the Belgian has been the artistic director since 2016. So much so that we could almost wonder if some of the silhouettes were not designed for Lars Von Trier’s muse — or at least, inspired by his style. The friendship between the designer and the artist materialized in 2018, the year in which she posed for the first time for the Parisian house. “I discovered what Anthony was doing for his own brand, and I found it wonderful. We got to know each other little by little, even before he joined Saint Laurent. I found that what he “It’s very, very clever. There’s something very exciting about wearing your clothes.”she confided in an interview with Dazedin September 2017. In the past, she also maintained a long friendship with Nicolas Ghesquièrethe former designer of Balenciagacurrently at the head of Louis Vuitton.
If you can’t dress in Saint Laurent from head to toe, here are some tips for reproducing the singer’s silhouettes. During the day, we opt for comfort. We favor essentials and we adopt the same formula as Charlotte Gainsbourg: jeans, a white T-shirt, a fine cashmere sweater and a men’s jacket with shoulder pads. On your feet, put on a pair of suede ankle boots or white tennis shoes. To go out, we dare. We dare to wear slightly short skirts. We dare to wear dresses slit up to the hip. We dare to wear slightly transparent blouses and, perhaps, (very) dark eyes. One word of advice: always trust your instinct.
