French culture has historically spread itself across a diverse range of industries such as fine art, food, architecture and of course, fashion, where the classic use of berets and deep red lips come into play. With the world’s timeless obsession of French art and culture, it’s no surprise that flecks of Parisian inspiration can be found in today’s contemporary art form – Instagram.

If you’re someone who has a fiery love for classic European elegance, you might want to scroll down and say Bonjour to today’s list of top French influencers… all the people you need to follow on Instagram to make “la vie Française” a part of you.

Leia Sfez | @leiasfez
This long-legged beauty knows just how to strut her stuff with her motto ‘less is more’. In an interview with Elle, she reveals her style staples… “In my opinion, the most important thing is to feel feminine and sexy while remaining very elegant. A good pair of jeans, a well-cut shirt, a two-piece suit, a nice trench coat and a Prince of Walls jacket are all essentials for me.”
