Addison Rae is Debbie Harry For Vogue France
"The French chic is a matter of attitude, a kind of natural ease": Addison Rae confides in Vogue France.
In a chic chat with Vogue France, Addison Rae opens up about everything from her TikTok fame to her music evolution. She brushes off the “superficiality” critique of social media, saying it’s more about honesty and angles than anything fake. On her rise to fame, she remembers being shocked by her first earnings – even a mere $20 had her mind blown.
Addison spills on her journey from influencer to multi-talented mogul, launching beauty lines and diving into music. She says her latest reinvention is just her getting more in touch with her true self, citing major inspiration from artists like Carly Simon and Lana Del Rey. She’s not afraid to be "cringe" either – it’s part of being real and vulnerable.
On Paris, she loves the raw, unpolished side of the city, capturing a deeper side in her Aquamarine music video. And as for her next hit, High Fashion is coming in hot – a bold mix of raw emotion, sensuality, and a little touch of vulnerability. Plus, she reveals her style heroes, from Alexander McQueen to Marc Jacobs. In short, Addison's all about embracing change, feeling free, and never stopping the dance – she’s just getting started!
Looking at these insane photos of Rae by Mario Sorrenti, I can’t help but see Debbie Harry. Harry, the lead singer of Blondie, is my favorite rockstar of all time, and seeing Addison Rae embody the aesthetic I love was super exciting.
In the article, her photo shoot and interview tap into a laid-back, cool style that’s got a bit of rock ‘n’ roll energy, even though the overall vibe is French chic. Her portrayal as the “rock star” in this context isn’t about loud outfits or edgy theatrics—it's more about a grounded confidence that echoes the effortless allure of icons like Debbie Harry, but with a modern twist.
Her nod to classic rock influences fits perfectly within the Vogue France space, blending the sleekness of French style with the free-spiritedness of a true rockstar. It’s a mix of the boldness and grit of rock ‘n’ roll and the sophistication and grace of Parisian fashion—making her a new-age rock star for the fashion world.
