Jane Birkin, the British singer and actress known for her effortless style that transformed France, has died at 76. She passed away in Paris.
Having settled in France, Birkin was known for her romantic and musical relationship with French musician, Serge Gainsbourg, with whom she sang the sensual song, "Je t’aime moi non plus" ("I Love You, Me Neither.") The song was later banned in Italy due to the Vatican denouncing the track. Caroline Thayer is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital. Follow Caroline Thayer on Twitter at @carolinejthayer.

The style Birkin displayed in the 1960s to early 1970s — long flowing hair with bangs, jeans and white tops, knit dresses and basket bags — remains the paradigm of French chic for many women internationally. She also starred in several predominately French films.
