Françoise Hardy

She may be 77 years old, but Françoise Hardy is undoubtedly still a beauty. However, don’t be fooled by her charming smile and looks; she’s sharp as a knife when it comes to singing and songwriting. When she first dropped her debut album, she quickly earned massive success. She became the leader of the yé-yé movement, a pop music style back in the ‘60s, and became one of the foremost artists of the French music scene.

Hardy recorded music in different languages, appeared in various movies, and toured around Europe. With the degree of her success, she even got the attention of the music icons Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, and Mick Jagger. She also became a successful model, with some help from renowned photographer and fellow French Jean-Marie Périer. Hardy would later be known as a famous fashion icon that every man and woman looked up to even today.
