Style Icon: Alain Delon
Once hailed as the french James Dean and the male Brigitte Bardot, Alain Delon has always been stylish and exceptionally cool. He laid the groundwork for Matt Damon's role in The Talented Mr. Ripley, starring as Tom Ripley nearly four decades earlier in Plein Soleil (Purple Noon), the first adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's celebrated novel (The Talented Mr. Ripley).
Whether immaculately tailored or in leisure dress, Alain Delon always epitomizes style and looks comfortable and nonchalant in whatever he wears. He's a master of fit and proportion, which is probably why aside from acting, Alain Delon is known abroad for his stores which sell everything from perfume and cologne to finely tailored suits and wristwatches. Currently 74 years old, Delon is still a representation of impeccable style. Peruse these images, taken from all stages of Delon's career, and see for yourself. Cheers!

Thank you Paul. You may enjoy viewing the signed photograph he sent me. I have it posted on M/M. He is to me an amazing man. Thank you again for posting this great montage of him.
First I'm hearing of this gentleman. His style is indispensable.
The comparisons to James Dean are very much evident.
Great post, was googling away and found it. Just got back from France where I picked up a signed studio shot of him in a little catholic church store. Have been a fan of his since saw Borsalino when I was 12.
