Marie de Villepin by Cedric Buchet for Lui Magazine #19 July/August 2015

Marie Galouzeau de Villepin (born 8 May 1986) is a French model, actress and singer. The daughter of former Prime Minister and diplomat Dominique de Villepin, she spent most of her childhood in India before moving to various countries in Latin America and Africa.

As a young girl she landed a role in Danièle Thompson's movie La Bûche and then took acting classes at Cours Florent as well as from Raymond Acquaviva, both in Paris. When she turned 18 and after graduating with a degree in applied mathematics from Dauphine University Paris, she moved to New York to pursue a modeling career. After several seasons on the catwalks of New York, Milan and Paris, appearing in ad campaigns of major designers shot by the likes of Mario Sorrenti, Inez and Vinoodh, and Gilles Bensimon, Marie was selected to be the face of Givenchy's perfume Ange ou Démon.

For her starring role in Veit Helmer's Baikonur, shot in the steppes of Kazakhstan and in Moscow, Marie completed a full cosmonaut training course in zero gravity. She has training in kickboxing, Judo, and hi-octane water sports, and has been an equestrian since the age of six.

In 2009 she formed a four-piece band called PINKMIST in which she sings, writes and plays guitar. After recording their first EP they performed many shows all over Europe, including London, Paris, Brussels, and Berlin. She is currently working on her latest music collaboration, to be revealed in early 2019.
