Sandra Hüller Wore Chanel Haute Couture To The ‘Fatherland’ Cannes Film Festival Premiere

Sandra Hüller returned to the Cannes Film Festival for the first time since her breakout festival run in 2023 while promoting Anatomy Of A Fall.

This year, she is back on the Croisette promoting her new film Fatherland alongside her Dior-clad co-star August Diehl, who is giving strong Robert Pattinson’s older brother energy here.

Back in 2023, Sandra spent all of Cannes in Louis Vuitton, but this time she’s, wearing a custom Chanel Haute Couture look inspired by Look 33 from the Spring 2026 Haute Couture collection.

The black embellished column dress is almost entirely overshadowed by the dramatic feathered jacket embroidered with white feathers dipped in black at the tips. Most people will probably find it completely excessive, but honestly, I much prefer this interpretation over the fully hooded runway version. The runway styling felt like performance art. Sandra’s version feels wearable while still retaining all the eccentricity.

What makes this work is Sandra herself. She has the kind of presence that allows unusual pieces like this to land with conviction, much in the same way Cate Blanchett can carry something others simply couldn’t.

My only issue is with the two white ribbon-like strips trailing from the bow at the back. They are slightly distracting, as though they were added at the last minute without serving any real purpose within the look.
