Instructions

Dressing Like Brigitte Bardot!

1. Accentuate your waist! Brigitte was known for having the legendarily tiny waist of 22 inches. She often wore corset-like outfits that showcased this. A good way to accentuate your waist is by wearing belts around dresses, which is a trick Brigitte often used. Belts, corset-style waists, and tight clothes in general are a good start.

2. Show off your legs! Brigitte was a dancer in her youth, so her legs were very long and lean. She made sure to take advantage of that fact as well, often wearing extremely short skirts and dresses.

3. Wear Capri pants! The 1950s (when Brigitte became popular) were the birth of popularity for Capri (also known as highwater) pants. Not only did Brigitte often sport this stylish, youthful, fun-loving look, but so did Audrey Hepburn. Wearing Capri pants are a great way to encapsulate the fun-loving, flirtatious, and young Brigitte Bardot vibe of the 1950s.

4. Apply liquid eyeliner! Brigitte was legendary for her sultry dark liquid eyeliner. Make sure to apply your liquid eyeliner carefully, almost imitating a "cat eye" look at the ends of your eyes. This is the perfect way to complete your Brigitte style look, smoldering stare and all.

5. Get sexy, tousled, straight-out-of-bed hair! The key way to achieve Brigitte's hair look is to make sure your hair has a lot of volume - she was known for having "high hair." Also, to accompany her sex kitten image, her hair was always slightly disheveled giving her that "bedroom" look.
