"She starred as Brigitte Bardot&amp;#39;s onscreen lover, gave birth to two of my favorite style setters of the moment (Lou Doillon and Charlotte Gainsbourg), and had the Hermes Birkin bag named after her. What&amp;#39;s not to love about Jane Birkin? Snag her incredibly cool style, after the jump.\nPinterestFacebookBirkin and her lover/collaborator/longtime everything, Serge Gainsbourg, caused quite the stir in Europe in 1969 when they released a very sexually explicit song titled &amp;quot;Je t&amp;#39;aime... moi non plus&amp;quot; (&amp;quot;I love you... me neither&amp;quot;). But I&amp;#39;m more concerned with the style frenzy she caused in the same era, particularly in this ensemble she was snapped in at London&amp;#39;s Heathrow AIrport. No Juicy sweatsuits and flip flops for this tres continental starlet--her signature look was all about casual basics worn in a way that oozed French charm. Before she got her namesake Birkin bag (and the rest of the world jumped on her bandwagon to the tune of a two-year waiting list), she was frequently photographed carrying a wicker basket around, which I find completely darling. This look works because it&amp;#39;s so simple, so unstudied, and yet so proportionally perfect. Her peacoat lets just the right amount of shorts show, her patent leather loafers keep things from looking sloppy, and her &amp;quot;I don&amp;#39;t care&amp;quot; hair looks exactly like I wish mine did when I spend 45 minutes trying to look like I don&amp;#39;t care.\nWhat do you guys think of Jane Birkin&amp;#39;s look? A refreshing change from the red carpet predictability of some of today&amp;#39;s starlets, isn&amp;#39;t it?\nGet your own version of the tres chic look for less here:\nPhoto: Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
