Souheila Yacoub Promotes ‘L’Âge d’or’ & ‘L’Abandon’ at Cannes Film Festival
Souheila Yacoub arrived at the Cannes Film Festival this week promoting two projects, L’Âge D’Or and L’Abandon, and considering her style usually sits somewhere between understated Parisian minimalism and slightly undone artistic cool, I was curious to see how that would translate again at this festival.
L’Âge D’Or Photocall
Souheila wore an Egonlab Fall 2026 look which, technically speaking, comes from the menswear collection, but that distinction feels increasingly irrelevant here. The feathered halter top leans into softer feminine codes, while the exaggerated wide-leg trousers tap into the oversized tailoring trend that has dominated fashion over the last few years.
What makes this look work so well is the balance. The feather detailing could have easily tipped into something overly theatrical for a photocall, but the relaxed proportions of the trousers and the casual attitude keep it feeling modern and unfussy. There’s also something about this look that feels perfectly suited to Cannes during the daytime. It has that slightly eccentric Riviera energy without looking forced for the setting.
The sunglasses, windswept hair, and hands-in-pockets attitude only reinforced the effortless
L’Abandon Screening
Souheila leaned further into her fashion disruptor tendencies wearing a look built around tailoring.
Nothing about this feels safe, which is precisely why it feels so aligned with her style. While many actresses and models arrive at Cannes aiming for classic glamour, Souheila consistently approaches dressing from a more subversive angle. The school-uniform references gave the look a slightly rebellious edge, while the exaggerated overskirt brought in a sense of drama suited to the red carpet.
I would have been fully on board with this look had the black skirt extended beyond the shirt tail, as I find the proportions distracting, but that sense of disruption is entirely purposeful.
