When Gillot was 12, she grew 12 centimetres in a year, and was diagnosed with double scoliosis.

Fearing a surgery would leave her disabled, she opted to wear a brace instead.

She wore it for 6 years, only remove it when she was dancing, and hid it from her peers.

1990

She is the youngest-ever dancer to do so.

She obtained her teaching certification at age 18.

At first, she was only cast in minor, non-dancing role.

However, Manuel Legris contacted her, and convinced her to return to Paris.

She got more roles after she returned.

1994

Gillot was promoted to sujet in 1994.

1999

In 1999, she was named première danseuse.

She stayed in that position for five years, but had danced lead roles including the title role in Paquita and Odette/Odile in Swan Lake.

Initially, Gillot wasn't interested in contemporary roles, but choreographers, including William Forsythe and Mats Ek created roles for her when she wasn't cast in classical roles.

Eventually, she became the company's exemplar for contemporary works.

2004

In 2004, following a performance of Carolyn Carlson's Signes, she was named étoiles.

She is the first dancer to achieve the rank of étoiles following a contemporary work.

She was promoted at age 28, which was relatively late.

She had originated works for choreographers including Jiří Kylián, Wayne McGregor, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Crystal Pite.

2007

She confirmed her interest into fashion participating in a film by Daniel Askill : "Even where the dancer is more conventionally dressed, the film and choreography work their own transformations. Paris Opera ballerina Marie-Agnès Gillot wears a black lace dress from McQueen, yet as she dances it becomes the shroud of a dying swan, a goth ballgown, the robes of a flying angel".

2012

Her piece, Sous Apparence, premiered in 2012.

Choreographer Wayne McGregor commented she could "do anything choreographically that you throw at her, and then more."

Carolyn Carlson, who created Signes, the piece that led to Gillot's promotion, said Gillot was "especially gifted in a cosmic, mystic realm, capable of transforming that mysticism into movement."

Dance Magazine called her "powerfully athletic and spiritually enraptured."

2015

She was part of the luxury French brand Céline's Spring/Summer 2015 campaign, shot by Juergen Teller : "I thought of it more as a dialogue between three artists."

she declared.

2018

In 2018, following a performance of Pina Bausch's Orpheus and Eurydice, Gillot retired from Paris Opera Ballet, as she was 42, the retirement age at the company, a rule which Gillot found "stupid."

She had plans to perform in contemporary works following her retirement.
