Victoire Dauxerre
Victoire Dauxerre is a French actress, author, and former model born in Paris in 1992 (making her approximately 33 years old as of 2025). While she began her career in the high-pressure world of international fashion modeling—walking for top luxury brands like Alexander McQueen and Miu Miu—she famously left the industry to prioritize her health. She became a prominent advocate for mental health and body positivity after publishing her best-selling 2016 memoir, Jamais assez maigre (Never Skinny Enough), which detailed her battle with anorexia and helped influence French legislation banning dangerously underweight models. Transitioning to acting, she trained at the Sorbonne and the prestigious LAMDA in London. She is well-known to French television audiences for her major recurring role as the antagonist Vanessa Lehman in the daily soap opera Demain nous appartient (Tomorrow Belongs to Us), a character she played from 2021 to 2025. Her other credits include the historical drama Versailles (as Adèle de Vasseur), the hit series Vikings (as Nissa), and the 2024 Netflix film Loups-garous (Family Pack). In the 2025 romantic comedy Champagne Problems, she makes a featured appearance as Receptionist #1.
