The water shimmered. Light from the warm April sun bounced off of the Malibu surf in every direction. And that other thing, mentioned seductively in Serge Gainsbourg’s Sea, Sex and Sun lyrics? It arrived in the form of French actress-model-singer, Vanessa Paradis.

Known for being deeply private and eternally girlish, Vanessa Paradis is coquettish in a way that only sultry French pop stars can master. So it was no surprise that when the back door of her black town car opened, she emerged like a shadow, stepping nimbly into the hair and makeup trailer located on set for VIOLET GREY’s cover shoot, where her beauty team was patiently awaiting her arrival. After topping the French charts as a teenager, the mother of two has maintained an impressive mystique over the last two decades, and her most recent performance, playing seriously against her type as a Hasidic Jewish widow in John Turturro’s film Fading Gigolo, has earned her some well-deserved praise. Today, she experienced a different kind of transformation: Hairstylist Robert Vetica smoothed her cropped hair into a sleek, Helmut Newton-inspired slick and longtime makeup artist, Sabrina Bedrani, applied a summery, brilliant orange-red to Paradis’ lips.

With just a handful of hours left on the clock before she was whisked back to reality in Los Angeles, Paradis materialized onto the beach, where photographer Ben Hassett and his crew were assembled around a 1971 silvery-blue Mercedes convertible. As the not-so-delicate sea breeze whipped around Malibu’s Point Dume, Hassett deemed the seaside lighting to be just right. Paradis coyly let her terrycloth robe drop to the sand, revealing an enviously toned, bronzed body (fresh from a Hawaiian holiday). She delicately placed herself in the driver’s seat, gazed directly into the camera lens and then, tossed her head back to face the sun.
