Brigitte Bardot's status as the ultimate French style icon hasn't slowed down since her rise to fame in the 1950s. To celebrate the actress's incredible lasting power, a new book, Brigitte Bardot: My Life in Fashion, explores Bardot's life in fashion—from on-set looks to fashion shoots and more. Featuring a rare interview with Bardot herself, the book penned by Henry-Jean Servat also includes personal comments and photos showing the private life of the icon as well. Ahead of its November release, take a look inside some of the pages featuring Bardot's best looks.
