The hottest French ladies are the talented, not to mention smoking hot, actresses, models and other celebrities from France. Something about the European nation tends to breed some of the most beautiful women on the planet, not that we're complaining. Alas, these are the sexiest French women in recent history.
Many have followed in her footsteps, but few will ever compare to the classic international sex symbol Brigitte Bardot. One of the biggest celebrities in the 1950s and 1960s, plus a Playboy model, Bardot was regarded first as a blonde beauty but second as the "the first and most liberated woman of post-war France." She popularized so many fashions, including the bikini and the Bardot neckline, among others, making her the favorite of women while still the fantasy of men.
While Miss Bardot is aging gracefully, many other fresher faces continue to emerge from France. Actresses, such as Academy Award-winner Marion Cotillard, singers, like Johnny Depp's longtime love Vanessa Paradis, and models, such as beauty Laetitia Casta, are continuing the trend of sexy celebs from France.
Those stunners are just a few of the numerous babes to come out of France in recent years. It's hard to narrow down the most beautiful French women to a select few, that's why you can vote for your favorites and even re-rank this this your way using the tools below. Too many French beauties? That's a great problem to have.
