In this video, we're diving into the world of French style and the beauty philosophy behind that effortless look French women are known for.
From makeup and hair to wardrobe choices, I'm sharing the golden rules that quietly shape the French approach to beauty and style. The little things that make all the difference, and the philosophy behind a look that never feels overdone.
French style isn't about perfection or following every trend. It's about finding what suits you, embracing simplicity, and creating a sense of ease that feels authentic.
These are some of the beauty and fashion principles I've grown up with and continue to come back to today.

I hope you enjoy this little dive into the world of French style 🤍

With love,
Gabrielle

I have the theory that French style is just about being slim. I've never found a plus size french style picture, like ever.

@moonbeet 3 months ago

I love the French approach of enhancing your natural beauty, not trying to change it. ❤

My grandmother was a Frenchwoman, she instilled in me that trends change from season to season but a good style that suits you is forever. When I shop for clothing if I find something that suits me I always buy two of everything, but in different colours. I remember looking into my grandmothers wardrobe as a child and she had approximately 12 navy blue skirts and about 12 or 13 white blouses. All were of a different style but all were very chic. She had in her other wardrobe a couple of winter coats...one with a mink collar ( this was the 50's) a few blazers and the dresses she wore on a daily basis. Her shoes and handbags were top quality leather never cheap rubbish. She used to clean her shoes after every wear and she would go to the cobbler the minuite the shoes showed any wear on the heels or soles. My style mimics hers and I even have a few of her clothes that I still wear now...that's the quality of her item's...they'll probably last forever, lol.

If I'm honest, none of this information is new to me, we've been getting fed French style/beauty/lifestyle tips for years and years and all of it is very familiar at this point. That being said, listening to a charming and beautiful woman with a French accent talk about these things and give examples of her own style is always inspiring and fun.

No belt, that's refreshing. I feel fussy with a belt and belts don't seem to look effortless on me. Love your style.

@lourdesbrown1800 3 weeks ago

French style appeals to me. Not fussy, easy elegance. Great video, merci!

Im not French… but this is also so my style. Minimal makeup…natural body….healthy hair. Feminine style and not sexualized.

@FlyingFish2367 3 months ago

I've always admired French style. I like your idea of deciding what is the "main dish" and then not adding anything to compete with that. I do wear red lipstick because as an older woman with gray hair, I finally feel that I can. It's become my "thing".

@paulinanedelcheva3286 3 months ago

I love the french style and I dress in french style.

@lizhorton5333 3 months ago

I think you need to find clothes that suit your body type. Also this may seem obvious but being tall and thin also helps clothes look good 🙂

C’est tellement vrai ! On ne suit pas du tout la mode !
Inès de La Fressange est une icône de la mode parisienne / française et on retrouve ces mêmes codes dans ta vidéo ! Belle journée Gab

Me encanta que has empezado el vídeo como un vídeo tranquilo, hablando mientras te maquillas y luego has subido la energía a tope, enseñándonos combinaciones ❤

@MoiraPannell-u2h 3 months ago

I think your gorgeous hair is the main dish of all of these outfits 😊

@griffinina 3 months ago

Exactly the reason why I love French style. It's looking good effortlessly. I don't like the intentionally loud style. It's too much. It's fun if done once in a while, but for daily basis, I think French style is the most sensible one

@elmiratazhibayeva3159 2 weeks ago

I really enjoyed this minimalistic n natural approach to outdoor look❤️

This video cured my attention span. I really watched the whole thing 😂

@PoshPilgrim1776 3 months ago

I've watched stylist Marie-Anne Lecoeur's channel for years so the youtube algorithm recommended your video. She lives on an historic farm in Normandy and gives similar French style advice to women over 50. Interesting to see that French style rules are the same regardless of age. In the US there is a distinction between the generations when it comes to fashion.

@JordanaMeazza 3 weeks ago

A beautiful masterclass, I grew up with these rules too as my mum used to designed clothes and she went to Paris for inspiration ❤❤❤ so perfect, thank you 🙏

I loved this video and finding your page!! I (Brazilian) was watching this and telling my husband (American) that i have a true French style… totally agree with the French goldfen rules… but i confess i was wating for the dress selection & night time 😂 anyways! Amazing ❤ amazing job
