Jean Seberg
Starring opposite Jean-Paul Belmondo in cult-classic
Breathless, was American actress Jean Seberg. With her cute, blond, pixie haircut, she is one of the most iconic starlets of the French New Wave. In
Breathless, speaking in an Americanized French accent, she plays Patricia, an American student studying in Paris. We love her horizontal and vertical stripes, hats, and simple, natural makeup. Though she was famous in Hollywood and Paris, Seberg also had the attention of the FBI for supporting the Black Panther Party. Though she died at the age of 40 in 1979, Jean Seberg's style has had a lasting impact. Chloe Sevigny ironically mimicked the style of the French New Wave icon in Season 3 of
Portlandia.
