For this 49th edition, which was held on February 23 at the Olympia, the actress once again gave Chanel her credentials.
On the red carpet, she wore a dress from the French house's latest spring-summer 2024 haute couture collection, presented in Paris on January 23.

Always faithful to the creations of Virginie Viard, artistic director of the house with the two intertwined “Cs”, Marion Cotillard chose a strapless, tight and short white dress, characterized by a series of wavy fringes set with rhinestones.
A long black tulle train attached to the back of the dress completed her silhouette.
It is no coincidence that the creation is reminiscent of those that Opera dancers sometimes adopt: the Chanel spring-summer 2024 haute couture collection is inspired by the prima ballerina's wardrobe, Virginie Viard having thought of it as " the affirmation of a triumphant body.”

But above all, she swapped the blow-dry for a rock mullet cut.
“I love the mullet cut!
It’s a transformation, we laugh a little,” she confided to the microphone of the influencer Léna Mahfouf, who hosted the red carpet.
A way to prove, if necessary, that fashion always offers the possibility of linking humor to elegance, even on the evening of a ceremony.
