BrigitteBardo

Brigitte Bardot, 1934

Bardot’s style legacy can be summed up with the three Bs: the bikini, the beehive, and the Bardot neckline. In her ‘50s-’60s heyday, Bardot showed the world the glamorous world of sunny Saint-Tropez, as she poised in revealing bathing suits with a messed-up hairdo. She also popularized the scoop neck and fueled an insatiable desire for gingham. In 1959, she even wore a pink gingham frock to her nuptials.
