While Fashion Gone Rogue might describe [actress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galleria-handbag) Audrey Tautou as a 'bewitching femme fatale of the 50s,' the Marie Claire Russia April 2012 editorial appears to be much more innocent than that. It showcases [classic Parisian fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles), appropriately modeled on a stunning French movie star, that is more femininely demure than femme fatale. At the very least, there is a vintage vibe.

The Marie Claire Russia April 2012 editorial was shot by Montreal-based photographer Shayne Laverdière. Channeling an elegance befitting of Audrey Hepburn, Tautou is clad in knee-length skirts, retro hats, [glamorous gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow) and little lady gloves. She was expertly styled by Lotta Volkova. Her classic look was perfected with a flawless face by makeup artist Frédéric Marin along with sophisticated and glossy coifs by hairstylist Madelaine Cofano.
