Selena Gomez was all business last week when she touched down in Paris for an exclusive Rare Beauty event she hosted with Sephora. Clad in a black and white look from Chanel’s 2023 Resort collection, Gomez not only paid homage to the iconic striped Sephora bag but also totally nailed the French-Girl chic formula. 

While, yes, the outfit is Chanel, it’s actually quite simple to recreate by mixing and matching items that are likely already inside of your closet: a sleek white button-down and waist-defining A-line skirt. Naturally, the quality of the shirt is key (silk, like Gomez’s is ideal, but a sharply pressed Oxford works just as well), but it’s the A-line miniskirt that really adds a certain je ne c’est quois. It can easily be dressed up or down, and appears equally appropriate for a business meeting or celebratory event. Opt for heels as shown below, or try pairing the skirt with loafers for a more academic flare. There are unlimited possibilities, and it’s truly impossible to go wrong. 

With that in mind, we’ve selected 14 of the best A-line miniskirts that will help anyone nail the French-Girl look. 

On Selena Gomez: Chanel blouse, skirt, and bow; Alaia shoes; Dmy by Romy Black sunglasses; Jenny Bird earrings; Pandora rings; Jennifer Fisher stack ring.

Now you’re ready for Wimbledon. 

A high waist and slight ruffle help to create a classic A-line shape.

Delicate pearl embellishments make this black A-line miniskirt memorable. 

Pleats, please. 

Jersey miniskirts are a summer staple here and in Paris, oui?

In case you’re ready for a designer splurge. 

Reformation has never let me down. 

Knit fabrics work, too, provided they’re not skin-tight.

So darn cute. 

The tiny slit allows for easier movement.

This skirt is giving me Miu Miu vibes. 

This skirt could be worn seven days a week, but we’d settle for five.

We’re obsessed with these rose gold colored buttons. 

This simple wrap skirt definitely has a French-girl feel.
