Bridgitte Bardot is one Hollywood star that is idolized by many Hollywood ladies. Nicole Richie, Drew Barrymore and Sienna Miller have all copied the Bardot hair and makeup at one point in their lives.
The Sofitel Luxury Hotels just launched a traveling photography exhibition that chronicles the rise to fame of Brigitte Bardot, a legendary French actress, singer, and model. The famous sex symbol will be showcased in 30 exclusive photographs.
Called "BB Forever - Brigitte Bardot, The Legend," the exhibition starts a year long run at Sofitel Los Angeles before it continues to Chicago, Washington D.C., and New York.
We caught up with Cheryl Koo who was at the event on why she came out saying, "The photography! It's supposed to be amazing."
It comes as no surprise that the chic chain of boutique hotels chose Bardot for the exhibition. After all, the starlet not only popularized the bikini swimsuit, but also famously vacationed to both St. Tropez in France and Armação dos Búzios in Brazil, a town she is said to have "discovered" with her Brazilian boyfriend during the 1960s.
The townspeople credit Bardot with skyrocketing Búzios to fame and have erected a statue in her honor that makes for a very popular stop for tourist photos.
Dates for the traveling exhibition are as follows:
Sofitel Los Angeles: Through March 26, 2012
Sofitel Chicago Water Tower: April 19 through June 7, 2012
Sofitel Washington D.C. Lafayette Square: June 21 through September 13, 2012
Sofitel New York: September 26 through December 31, 2012
