If you saw Alice Taglioni in her jeans, bombing around the streets of
Paris on her motorcycle, you'd never expect she's equally at home on the red carpet. The 40-year-old French actor brings her own brand of cool, edgy, borrowed-from-the-boys style as the muse and face for the celebrated French hair-care brand Dessange Paris.

"I'm not a girlie person," says the 5-foot-10 blond, but she admits she's grown to value hair, makeup and fashion that come with being in front of the camera. Behind the scenes, though, whether playing piano (she's a former student of the Paris Conservatoire) with her six-year-old son, Charlie, or leaping onto her motorcycle to grab un café, Taglioni prefers clothing that's androgynous yet still elegant—and always comfortable. "During the day, it's jeans, button-downs and boots," she says. Classic, cool menswear-inspired pieces juxtaposed with feminine elements is her style profile.
Fall is the ideal time to cozy up to layers of androgynous fashion. Try an oversize oxford shirt as a minidress or drape a long blazer over a frilly frock to achieve that perfect gender-hybrid style that Taglioni so effortlessly masters.

"She's wild, crazy, strong, generous and beautiful. The name of the heroine in my script [for a film Taglioni is writing and will soon direct]—named after a character Rowland played (an Academy Award-nominated performance) in the 1980 crime thriller Gloria "because I love that character, and her, so much."
