In fashion the Bardot neckline (a wide open neck that exposes both shoulders) is named after her. Bardot popularized this style which is especially used for knitted sweaters or jumpers although it is also used for other tops and dresses. Bardot is recognized for popularizing bikini swimwear in early films such as Manina (Woman without a Veil, 1952), in her appearances at Cannes and in many photo shoots. Bardot also brought into fashion the choucroute ("Sauerkraut") hairstyle (a sort of beehive hair style) and gingham clothes after wearing a checkered pink dress, designed by Jacques Esterel, at her wedding to Charrier. Bardot was idolized by young John Lennon and Paul McCartney.Lennon's first wife Cynthia Powell lightened her hair color to more closely resemble Bardot, while George Harrison made comparisons between Bardot and his first wife Pattie Boyd, as Cynthia wrote later in A Twist of Lennon. She is imitated by women: Claudia Schiffer, Laetitia Casta, Kylie Minogue, Beyoncé, Elle Macpherson, Karen Mulder, Gisele Bundchen, jane Fonda, Raquel welch, Claudia Cardinale, Catherine Deneuve,pamela anderson, Lara stone, georgia jagger, marisa miller, Monica Bellucci, heidi Klum, Cindy Crawford, Estelle Lefebure, Kate Moss, Julie Ordon, Doutzen Kroes, Natalia Vodianova, Annette Stroyberg, sophia loren, Isabelle Adjani, Mylene Demongeot...
