Charlotte Gainsbourg was born with a pedigree for impeccable style: her mother, English singer-actress Jane Birkin, is one of the most referenced style icons of all time (not to mention the inspiration for Hermès's iconic "Birkin" bag); her father, Serge Gainsbourg, is probably the most notorious French pop singer of all time. It's no wonder, then, that daughter Charlotte projects a captivating, effortless sophistication that is all her own. When not dressed in Balmain's embellished, rocker-chic pieces, the International Best-Dressed List alum favors androgynous separates, minimal makeup, and eye-catching shoes.
Performing in front of thousands of fans takes both confidence and style-a combination in the musical word that has bred some of the most sartorially savvy singers around. From Charlotte Gainsbourg to Lady Gaga, these fearless showstoppers demonstrate a shared sense of female empowerment, enviable individual style, and unquestionable muse-worthiness.
