Jessica Biel knows how to glam up and dress down with equal skill, but this morning’s beauty look found her merging the two camps for an insouciant style that called to mind the effortless French women of the 1960s. The actress stepped out at an event in Manhattan, shaking out smooth, piece-y lengths of honeyed brunette hair that fell softly past her shoulders, with full bangs pushed to one side and a hint of volume at the crown.
It was an aesthetic that seemed to channel singer-songwriter Françoise Hardy’s iconic signature mane from the era. The reference was furthered by natural, barely there makeup—save for a set of long dark lashes—and a certain polish that conveyed a hint of Hollywood drama. With her effortless bombshell factor, Biel may single-handedly be bringing the decade’s Swinging chic back—no retro factor required.
