yé yé sound + style: Brigitte Bardot


via Truus, Bob, & Jan too!

B.B. was another one of Serge Gainsbourg's musical protegées. Obviously, he favored fabulous looks over a great singing voice, but I don't mind. I like her imperfect, but endearing vocals in songs like Bonnie and Clyde, Mister Sun, and Comic Strip.

I also love her signature style of tousled blond locks, black rimmed eyes, and curve accentuating clothes. But even when you take that away and she's dressed like a tomboy in baggy pants and a newsboy cap, she still looks amazing!





In case you missed them, here are links to the profiles I've done on some other Yé Yé singers: Francoise Hardy, France Gall, and Jane Birkin. Stay tuned for more!

LOVE this post. And I totally agree - BB was sexy (even more so) when she wasn't even trying and was just lounging around. She gives tomboys a good name!
