"If you sweat that effortless French girl style as much as we do but aren&amp;#x27;t quite sure how to conjure up your own je ne sais quoi, we&amp;#x27;ve got some simple (and affordable!) ideas, courtesy of Vanessa Paradis. The utterly French singer/model/actress/Johnny Depp baby mama was front row at yesterday&amp;#x27;s Chanel couture presentation, and rather than get all dolled up in an evening gown, the onetime face of the brand went for easy-breezy chic in a pair of jeans. I know what you&amp;#x27;re thinking--jeans!? To the haute couture shows!? Isn&amp;#x27;t that a chance to flaunt your fabulous closet and really go glitzy? But she went the denim route and I have to say, she totally owned her look and was, in my opinion, the best dressed woman there (maybe because she looked the most comfortable in her own skin). Her outfit was as simple as could be--jeans and a blazer--and yet a few smart accessorizing tips took it from snoozy to seriously chic. The most important element going on here is the contrast she created by pairing something so casual with super-luxe accessories. A fur (or faux!) fur stole and a classic quilted handbag are usually reserved for ladies-who-lunch types, so throwing them on with boyfriend jeans and a white T-shirt gives her an instant cool-girl vibe. You can achieve the same thing by pairing your favorite jeans with a ladylike cloche hat, a cluster of brooches, or a silk scarf tied around your neck.
