Mesquida is fluent in English and French, and she also speaks Spanish, Italian and German.

She was discovered at the age of 11, while walking on a road with her mom, by French director Manuel Pradal who was in the middle of the casting process for his movie Mary from the Bay of Angels (Marie Baie des Anges) at the time. She took part in the shooting during the summer after their encounter. In 1998, she also played opposite Isabelle Huppert in The School of Flesh (L'Ecole de la Chair) by Benoît Jacquot. A few years later, she crossed paths with the renowned director who would make her well-known and, according to Roxane, who made her learn her craft: Catherine Breillat. First they collaborated in Fat Girl (À ma sœur !), then in Sex Is Comedy, and they worked together again in 2006 on The Last Mistress, with Asia Argento. In 2006, Mesquida played alongside Vincent Cassel in Sheitan, by Kim Chapiron, after which she decided to move to the United States.
