BARDOT Brigitte (Icon)

Actress Brigitte Bardot sits under a tree, smoking moodily, her deshabille hair and au naturel appearance the epitome of amoral French sensuality. British Vogue called her "the sensuous idol, a potent mixture of the sexy and the babyish, a seething milky bosom below a childish pout". She was known simply as "BB" (the French pronounced it "bébé" _French for "baby"), and the phrase "sex kitten" was invented to describe her. Her narrow trousers and tight black sweater reflect the nonchalant beat style. She also popularized flat ballet pumps in the 1950s, setting a trend for not wearing socks in her film And... God Created Woman (1956), and for ruffles and ringlets, petticoats and prettiness in Les Grandes Manoeuvres (1955), and for Edwardian dress in Viva Maria (1965). Jeanne Moreau wrote that Bardot "was the real modern revolutionary character for women".
