Romy Schneider and Alain Delon under the Mediterranean sun

Romy Schneider and Alain Delon formed an emblematic couple of French cinema. “The magnificent lovers” as many like to call them, met in 1958. After 5 years of passionate love, they separated in 1964. And it is on the screen that the legendary couple find themselves on the set of the film La Piscine directed by Jacques Deray and released in 1969.

Their impeccable looks will always remain timeless and sexy.  Romy would often dress in casual chic, with a polo shirt or scarf entwined in her hair. Her more sophisticated looks consisted of high-end dresses and suits showing off her curves and cleavage. On the other hand, Alain Delon, the inveterate seducer, with a magnetic aura, also bet on a casual style by sporting denim, but appeared most often in suits and ties. Let's not forget their stage outfits, inspired by Viennese society from the early 20th century in the film Christine or their swimsuits in the film La Piscine, which are still highly regarded today.
