Isabelle Huppert Wore Gucci To The ‘Histoires Parallèles’ Cannes Film Festival Premiere

The Cannes Film Festival premiere for Histoires Parallèles (Parallel Tales) was the second major red carpet event of the night, with Isabelle Huppert making a memorable appearance.

There are not many constants left in fashion, except Jennifer Connelly wearing Louis Vuitton. The other used to be Isabelle Huppert in Balenciaga, but that changed tonight, as the French actress stepped out in Gucci.

And the Jennifer Connelly comparison feels especially fitting here, because much like Jennifer followed Nicolas Ghesquière from Balenciaga to Louis Vuitton, Isabelle has now followed Demna from Balenciaga to Gucci.

Even with the same creative director, this felt like a reset. A new silhouette, a new fabric story, and honestly, it was time. The sculptural fan-pleated neckline instantly brought a sense of golden-age glamour, with the symmetry, scale, and framing around the face making the look feel instantly more cinematic.

Styled with matching opera gloves and Chopard jewels, this felt theatrical in the best possible way.

This is the Isabelle Huppert I love seeing on the red carpet. Less grunge, more glamour.

Stylist: Jonathan Huguet.
