Because chic is both a noun and an adjective, you can have chic as well as be chic.
Chic is style, elegance, and sophistication, but usually in a clever, individual way. Catherine Deneuve has chic; runway models may or may not, depending on how they dress and groom themselves on their own time.
While some women (and men) spend millions of dollars in an effort to obtain it, chic is not necessarily costly:
Carol has that natural chic that comes with being French: she could accessorize a burlap bag and come off looking stunning.
The word chic is generally used in relation to clothing, but it can be applied to almost anything. In a July 2012 article, The Wall Street Journal used it to modify grass.
"Pushing back against perfect lawns, some homeowners are adopting a shaggy-chic look for their properties, planting a long-haired meadow in the backyard, and even in front."
