1954 – With flowers at her waist and elegant elbow-length gloves, she was the picture of demure femininity at the Cannes Film Festival.



FIFTIES – Her love of the South of France – and St Tropez in particular – put Riviera chic on the style agenda.



DECEMBER 1958 – She wore a silk taffeta and tulle dress for the Maria Callas gala at the Paris Opera House.



OCTOBER 1983 – Long before they were seen on the legs of Sienna Miller and Kate Moss, Brigitte was working denim cut-offs in St Tropez.

Beautiful gifs and pictures thanks everyone !

Funnyfan : how many Brigitte movies have you seen so far ? I see on your Tumblr that your BB knowledge is expanding !

I got this BB calendar as a present there's hardly any new picture but I'm still glad !

one of the great beauties, but like all the icons, it's her personality that puts in such high esteem now. what does everyone think of the lara stone/bardot comparison?

 

[CielDeLit]

Ah, Ciel, it's all due to Fiammifero, who was lovely enough to send me CDs full of basically every BB movie out there, ever! So once I learned how to gif, I've been doing it endlessly based on what she sent me.

Oh cool ! What are your picks for best/worst so far ?

She was just perfect in her youth!

I remember watching "And God created woman..." over and over again, even before I got subtitles, just because she was so STUNNING

I feel just as insulted as I do when someone compares a model to Kate Moss...

Lara is a very beautiful, interesting looking woman, but Bardot was the ultimate sex kitten. I don't know how you would compare that?

Why does the media/people always have to keep comparing "new faces" to the icons? You won't have another Bardot. If you had another BB each decade she wouldn't be iconic...

 

[Fiammifero]

I scanned some images from Brigitte's autobiography "Initials BB". The photos are nothing new, but I think her self-written notes compliment them. As this book has not been published in English, I translated the original captions myself, so any typos or grammatical errors are my fault.
There are a lot of pictures, but here's the first batch.

That second picture is just proof that no-one looks good on their confirmation day. I feel better about my own now

 

[CielDeLit]

Thank you so much Fiammifero !! This is a brilliant idea, and it's such a pity that the book was never translated into English, I'm sure it would be successful.

I wholeheartedly agree And I particularly dislike the whole "oh she's blonde with gap teeth so she looks like Bardot".

Do you see any gap ? No you don't. You're welcome.

Thank you!! I want this book but have been unable to find it in English.

been a fan of bb forever but something i can never find are quotes from her about her hair and or makeup. like how she did her hair, makeup, etc...
i know there are a ton of youtube videos but i want to know how SHE did it!

 

[eizhowa]

^I mostly want to know how she cut and styled her hair in her early brunette --> "...And god created woman" days. Youtube only gives you over-styled bouffants:/

 

[CielDeLit]

^ yeah me too !! I absolutely love her hair in the mid 1950s.
Her haircut is amazing, I love the curls on her temples/cheeks. I don't know if there's a name for it (In French it's called "accroche coeurs") ?

I just love how her hair frames her face, it's beautifully done :

So far there's really no precise information about this...we've talked about it on a Bardot fansite and no one knows exactly. I just remember that she didn't wash her hair every day.
