Vanessa Paradis

[dani]

My thoughts about her body? Too muscular for mi taste, but taking in count her age (42) she's doing well. What do you guys think?

 

[ssmini]

Tooo muscular, gorgeous face but i would defenetely lose some inches if i were her

 

[littlebirdwings]

I think she looks fabulous for 42. I agree that she's a bit too muscular but that certainly beats being flabby.

 

[sabine]

Oh psssh, she's a classic French beauty. So she's more muscular than I would like to be, she's 42 and clearly doing an incredible job at keeping herself youthful and healthy.

Flashback Part2:

 

[Silent Night]

Yeah, she's one of the most beautiful people in the world ever. She'd have to have insanely muscley arms to kill my love

 

[pterodactyl]

I 2nd that sentiment.....I think it looks like she must be enjoying her workouts and b/c she's so thin the muscle looks quite prominent. In person I bet she looks tiny. ALSO OMFG she's pulling off that bandeau bikini...not an easy task...

Thanks for the flashbacks...what a beauty! (And it looks like her teeth have shifted in her gap area over the years hmmm)

Just wow. I bow down.
How does one have a body like that with aging? I mean assuming one wasn't obese and then lost a ton of weight and there wasn't a lot of sun damage.
Is it mostly genetic? Lots of cardio? Strength training? Low carb diet?
None of the women in my family have taken good care of themselves, and I don't know anyone who has aged this well, so I genuinely am clueless.

I just want to say that Johnny Depp has quite an awesome taste in women!

 

[pterodactyl]

Well.....he USE to....

 

[Xsmall]

Wow she is amazing

I just want to say that Johnny Depp has quite an awesome taste in women!

Well.....he USE to....

Yeah, I want to say that I have no idea what was Johnny thinking when he stopped the relation with Vanessa, even less seeing with who he is now, that Scarlet Johannson wannabe ( like if being her was even good, to begin with).

Vanessa has an impresive body. All my respect for women hitting the gym, more when they are 42 and with 2 children. This woman rocks! I also love that she never "fixed" her teeth. There is nothing to be fixed there, she is perfect, dot.

 

[Kacha]

Yes! In my tweens I was really sorry that I am not French and that I don't have such teeth and such voice I also had no idea who Johnny Depp is at the time.

I've seen her in a concert a long time ago. And :

- she's a total sweetheart, patient with her fans, always smiling, not counting her time
- she has a beautiful voice and dances like a goddess
- her face is mesmerizing
- BUT her body is not as striking as in pictures. She is petite and thin, with a gorgeous skinny face, but she's not stick thin. Her legs are really really toned and look a bit bulky. She looks a bit " gym addicted", and not "heroin chic" as most of the french tabloids present her. I probably won't look at her if I saw her in the street... To sum up, she's probably an healthy - down to earth - talented women. Which is good enough

 

[Skinny_Mini_Me]

This used to be one of my favorite thinspo videoes when I was younger.
Note that she is quite young though.

 

[Szdaguilera]

I think she is gorgeous, I remember when I was a child I thought she was beautiful.
We´re also teeth sisters (dk how you call it)

 

[slenderous]

Seeing the photos of Lily Rose made me think of her - such a great face! I like her muscly body more than Gwyneth Paltrow's, I'm not sure if she is leaner or whether I feel it just suits her frame better. Evidently growing muscle is a good way to age gracefully.

 

[marieebo]

I've always loved her and her body looks incredible for her age, inspiring!

 

[bingeonvogue]

Even though her body isn't my ideal of skinny, I think she's one of the most beautiful and striking celebrities. @Arctic put it so well in that her face is really mesmerizing to me. I feel like she has such a unique atmosphere and... I'm not sure how to describe it but her beauty has so much depth. She's one of favorite woman celebrities (although my favorites regularly reorder themselves haha)

 

[vanitas]

She's always looked great whatever age she is and she's had a really varied and interesting career too.

I think once you get past a certain age you have to get into exercise at least a little bit to stay in a good shape for your age so although she may be a touch muscular for people's taste, it's probably that she feels more comfortable going down this route than not.

Thanks for posting all those photos @sabine - it's a great retrospective!
