MUSE | Léa Seydoux

Parisian girls just do it better, and Léa is definitely hitting the high notes. At 28 she has been in the acting game for a while with her 'don't give a f*$%k' attitude giving just the right amount of allure and mystery. The fact she is not afraid to play very different characters confirms she won't be type cast any time soon. Watch her play the muse of Yves Saint Laurent Loulou de la Falasie,  in the 'other' unapproved bio pic, Saint Laurent, scheduled for released in October this year.
