From Sylvie to Philippine
Necklines, slits, snug dresses and high heels. The character of Sylvie Grateau is the quintessential Parisian style, a constant manifestation of coolness and sensuality, at any age. In real life and on the red carpet, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu does not stray far from the stylistic diktats of her character, however preferring more minimal-looking outfits, often monochromatic and enriched by original and over the top accessories. The star thus provides the inspiration for the essential wardrobe for fifty-year-olds who want to discover and renew themselves, with class and femininity.
Midi lengths and animalier touches
The first rule to replicate the French actress’s style is to opt for mid lengths. In fact, the dresses and skirts stop below the knee, lengthening and “streamlining” the figure. In this sense, you can choose close-fitting sheath dresses, sculptural and able to enhance any type of physique. Another essential element in Leroy-Beaulieu’s wardrobe are the shirts, in all their forms. Perfect to wear with long skirts, they conquer both in the “masculine” version, with buttons and collar, for a monochromatic final effect, and in the softer and more feminine ones, decorated with a bow and proposed in a colorful pattern.

The secret lies in the discreet and never excessive use of these motifs, impeccable when used on footwear with a disruptive character and unexpected details. To surprise with class.
