Then where does Marie-Anne come in? Are you working for her?

There are a lot of clueless women out there. They ask for her help on livestreams and in comments.

No, I don't work for her. I've subscribed to her channel for a couple of years now. I like her content and her personality. There are so many fashion and beauty channels for women to slog through, most of which cannibalize each others content. This might save time for some.

I actually preferred her now dormant channel about French home and food. She took trips to local markets, showed us her horses and chickens, local sights in Normandie. She and her British husband bought an old stone farmhouse which they are renovating. I find that sort of thing fascinating. But she says she is too busy at the moment for two youtube channels. When her house renovations are complete we shall all get a tour! Can't wait!

True. Maybe she is an influencer in France, but American women might prefer less of Grandma styles and more of TikTok attire. Also, they wear what's available in stores and their budget.
I don't think that many French women like her style. At least not younger and current trends aware. She aims for older generation, and most of those women (in France) have already defined their style.

(I will ask my French friends about her, if she is known there and influential.)

I am not dismissing her style or expertise. I am just not the type for her fashion.

TikTok attire?

So that's why American women are considered so badly dressed! And American women run up credit card debt doing it, unlike French women who believe in paying cash for most things.

Two different cultures.

Not all french women dress the same. Letitia Mieral she has a youtube channel Merveilles En Papier, about her work as an artist making dollhouses. Many asked about her unusual clothes style so she did a video. She is a petite lady in her 40s.

Video link Inside my Wardrobe, time 8:49 minutes.

I'm too old and too chunky to wear those styles, BUT I have to say those textures and patterns appeal to me far more than the ones in the OP's link.

Letitia's style isn't really my thing, but I like that her style says a lot about her. It's very expressive. Marie-Anne Lecoeur's style just seems so much more generic. She seems to want everyone to look the same.

I don't speak French. Are these costumes? I can't imagine wearing these clothes on the street. They look like they're made of deadstock home decor fabric.

Her videos are all in english language. She explained she buys from shops but also she knows a person who sells petite 19th century clothes ( and bedlinnens heavy cloth with embroidery ) she buys these and wears them because she fits into it. Her other videos sometimes she takes us viewers on walks and yes she dresses colorful like that in public. She has explained she gets commentary she should dress proper french style wear neutrals but that is not her style she explained to us.
I have watched many of her videos, she has her own mind and taste in things.

There is a Q & A video about questions people wanted to ask her, everything in english. See link here

OK--I must have started the video with my headphones around my neck and it sounded French.

The colors aren't the problem. It's that she looks like she took her great-grandmother's curtains, doilies and slipcovers and put them on.
