The whole world is obsessed with emulating the French aesthetic, but Isabelle Huppert is out there living it. In addition to starring in everything from The Lacemaker to The Piano Teacher, the acclaimed actor has a knack for looking impossibly chic with apparently minimal effort. Parisian to her core, she has a penchant for a statement red lip, and has experimented with different hair lengths over the years—most recently settling for mid-length tousled waves.

With alabaster skin and a healthy glow, she has shunned injectables in favor of a more natural approach to her skin-care routine—and looks good for it. Huppert also knows the power of remaining a touch mysterious. “Over my career, I have made more than 100 films, shot a lot of magazine covers, and walked endless red carpets,” she previously wrote for British Vogue. “Yet there is still nobody outside my inner circle who could tell you what I do on a Saturday night. In an age of overexposure, when every aspect of our lives is chronicled and shared, there is something decidedly powerful about keeping something to yourself.”

As she turns 70, we take a look at some of Isabelle Huppert’s best beauty moments.
