I first discovered Audrey Tautou when my grandmother took me to the cinema to see Amélie in 2001. I have had a girl crush on the French actress ever since.

Audrey Tautou is a particularly private actress and this is probably the reason behind her declaration that she would not move to the US and will continue a predominantly French film career.
Audrey Tautou's starring role in Coco Avant Chanel, cemented her as a fashion icon when she was named as Nicole Kidman's successor as spokeswoman for Chanel No 5. The resulting television commercial is one of my favourites:
