I saw her on the news earlier. Imo she has a distinctive French look that doesn't really pass that well in the UK.

Fabre is a southeastern French name. Its southwestern equivalent is Faure, and its northern is Lefebvre. Means more or less "Smith" in English

In my opinion, she has a general Southern European look - from Portugal to Greece.

Iberian Peninsula followed by Italy (apart of France/Belgium/Switzerland).

Yes. Her pointy chin and triangular jaw is a specific Baskid/Pyrenean trait (she's from Toulouse, in the deep South).
She passes way better in Spain than in Italy (or even in the rest of France).

Actually, her Atlantid-Dinarid-Med face is pretty commonplace in France, and is precisely the sort of phenotype that stands out in Britain.

Thrice wrong:
• She has absolutely nothing Dinarid. Dinarids (very rare in France anyway) are distinguished by a brachycephalous skull along with a long face.
• "Atlantid": that doesn't exist. It's just an euphemistic naming to make Iberians happy, i.e. to qualify pure (i.e. Western) Mediterraneans.
• Catherine Fabre is just a Mediterranean, period.
Would you think that Kelly Wenham (she's Anglo-Irish as far as I'm not mistaken) would stand out in Britain? She just has the same facial features (except that as an actress she has to be pretty, whilst Catherine Fabre is an ugly Macronite politician).

Aside from the horsey face, I don't see the resemblance between Wenham and Fabre.
