I think she looks similar in her younger years to Adele. (They even sound similar and I've always thought that Adele must've been influenced by Alison Moyet's singing style.)

I didn't know that her dad was French, I thought he was just a brit with distant Huguenot ancestry like many people in Britain, like Simon LeBon or Laurence Olivier.
