At 14, Vanessa Paradis sang a simple song with a soft voice that became a timeless global hit. She firmly refused to fix the gap between her teeth and rose to fame as a popular actress. In 1991, fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld named the delicate and graceful girl the face of Chanel and his muse. She and Johnny Depp were Hollywood’s most captivating couple, parents to two children, but never married. Today, Vanessa Paradis turns 51, and here’s a look at her life and appearance now.

Vanessa Paradis is a staunch opponent of cosmetic enhancements, believing that ice cubes help maintain her skin’s tone. The gap between her front teeth has never bothered her. In the ’90s, fans even created this effect artificially to emulate her. Although with age, her cheekbones are no longer as pronounced. Her once-chubby cheeks have vanished, and sometimes, recent photos show the actress looking quite thin.

For years, Vanessa Paradis has epitomized Parisian style, favoring simple cuts made from luxurious materials like tweed, organza, and lace, often from her favorite brand, Chanel. Despite her petite stature of only 60 Inches , Vanessa has remained a sought-after model. She was adored by Karl Lagerfeld and continues to be a Chanel ambassador, starring in the brand’s advertising campaigns even after Lagerfeld’s passing.

Vanessa and Johnny Depp were happily together for 14 years and had two children. Jack, now 19, keeps his personal life private, though he’s rumored to be dating model Camilla Jansen. Lily-Rose Depp Paradis, on the other hand, has had a spectacular career in showbiz. She has modeled for Chanel, like her mother, and recently launched her film career, starring in the controversial TV series “Idol.”

Currently, Vanessa is happily in a relationship. In July 2018, she had a modest wedding in the suburbs of Paris. Dressed in a white gown and veil, Paradis said “yes” to screenwriter and director Samuel Benchetrit.
