Vanessa Paradis dazzles in a purple tweed trouser suit at the Victoires De La Musique award ceremony

She’s the French singer who soared to international fame when she was just 14 years old when her song Joe le taxi shot to the top of the charts.  

And Vanessa Paradis was in her element on Friday as she took centre stage to perform at the 36th Victoires De La Musique award ceremony at La Seine Musicale in Boulogne-Billancourt, France.

The music star, 48, caught the eye in a dazzling purple tweed trouser suit and matching skirt by Chanel as she entertained those at the event.
