The French actress always gives us something to talk about at this event, and her Chanel leather dress with a raffia-trimmed underskirt from the Resort 2027 collection is no exception.

Marion has always approached Cannes differently. While many actresses lean into classic glamour or predictable princess dressing, she tends to veer left, often too far left, which is exactly why she remains one of the more interesting regulars on this red carpet. So a black leather Chanel dress for a major premiere? Honestly, this feels entirely on brand for her.

My only hesitation comes from the fit. The dress appears slightly oversized on her, particularly through the bodice, although I suspect part of that comes down to the leather itself still feeling fresh off the runway. It has that newly cut stiffness that has not yet relaxed or moulded to the body, which leaves parts of the top half looking a little boxier than intended.

But somehow, Marion still sells it. On someone else, this could have looked cumbersome, but she gives it the kind of insouciance that French actresses seem genetically programmed to deliver at Cannes.
