If you thought French-girl beauty right now was good, a glimpse at Catherine Deneuve back in the ’60s will have you practically beside yourself. Time and again, the French actress – once muse to Yves Saint Laurent – has delivered on the beauty front. From her voluminous blonde beehive hairstyles to her immaculate feline flicks and that beautiful smattering of freckles over her nose and cheeks, Deneuve is a beauty icon for all sorts of reasons.
A straight-talking, strong woman (“People who know me know I’m strong, but I’m vulnerable,” she said once), her passion and confidence make her a figure of admiration off screen, as well as on. As she turns 78, Vogue takes a look at some of her best beauty looks.
