Lace and dark glasses: Isabelle Huppert's remarkable arrival on the Cannes red carpet

Cannes, day 4. A flood of celebrities descends on the Palais des Festivals to attend the world premiere of Martin Scorcese's latest film, Killers Of The Flower Moon. Among them, hidden under dark glasses, Isabelle Huppert makes a singular appearance. The 70-year-old actress walks forward in a black lace dress with patterns that stand out against a flesh background, offering the illusion of nudity, like the transparent dresses that populate red carpets in recent months. But it is not this detail that catches the eye at first glance. Isabelle Huppert has disproportionate shoulders, signature of the label she represents: Balenciaga.

First seen during Fall-Winter 2023-2024 Fashion Week on March 5 in Paris, the Balenciaga dress probably seduced Isabelle Huppert with its famous protruding and rounded shoulder pads. The actress does not miss an opportunity to do well at the Cannes Film Festival, with looks that shake up the codes of traditional glamour. Last year, she walked the red carpet dressed in green, gloves and boots included.
