Françoise Hardy passed away this week at the age of 80. The original French girl influencer, Hardy wasn’t just a singer, songwriter, and style muse, but a beauty icon too. Championing the classic French signatures women remain obsessed with to this day, Hardy sported effortless bangs that appeared to have fallen–or been swept–into place, but never styled. She was rarely seen without a thick feline flick, care of the smudgy kohl which she wore on her upper lash line, 1960s style. All cheekbones, doe eyes, and sun-kissed skin, Hardy epitomized effortless beauty. Revisit vintage photographs of the star, below.
