What defines classic “French girl style”? Is it a long-sleeve Breton top that’s casually tucked into denim jeans, or could it be a sleek blazer that’s thrown over a black minidress for a party in the 16th arrondissement? In either case, the aesthetic is decidedly chic. And who better to draw inspiration from than Tina Kunakey, a modern-day French girl who has a distinctive personal style.
The 25-year-old model – who married French actor Vincent Cassel wearing a custom Vera Wang gown in 2018 – has two sides to her wardrobe, one being pared-back chic with a Gen Z twist, the other amped-up evening glamour that errs on the avant-garde. But when it comes to Tina, it’s important to note her superstar confidence is what truly makes her outfits unforgettable.
On days off, Tina tends to opt for wearing a good pair of jeans, and she’s been seen in a range of styles. Whether it’s pairing a straight-leg shape with a T-shirt and normcore trainers, or baggy jeans with an oversized trench coat thrown over the top for optimum slouchiness, the model has a penchant for keeping it casual-cool on a relaxed day. She has been seen in breezy men’s shirts in the summer, too.
When it comes to amping up the glamour, Tina isn’t one to shy away from going all out. Sure, she loves a swinging feathered minidress, or a fun, navel-baring two-piece Jacquemus moment. However, as evidenced by her ensembles from Isabel Marant and Stella McCartney at Paris Fashion Week, the model also has a propensity for bold silhouettes.
