Playing a coquettish drug dealer who seduces hitman Colin Farrell? Just another day's work for the precociously soigné Clémence Poésy, who co-stars alongside our most magnetic Irishman in the marvellously entertaining comedy In Bruges, now on general release. As well as demonstrating she's a dab a hand at acting in English (we most recently saw her as Fleur Delacour in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), the 25-year old French actress, whose knack for putting together a chic ensemble has not been ignored by the fashion cognoscienti, is a familiar face at Paris Fashion Week, regularly seen perched front row alongside fellow Gallic starlets Ludivine Sagnier and Elodie Bouchez. Her creamy complexion and impish grin have not gone unnoticed, either. Last year she was named part of the triumvirate chosen to represent the new Chloé fragrance, alongside Chloe Sevigny and model Anja Rubik.
