Leïla Bekhti’s Rome Film Festival Wardrobe Is a Tale of Two Styles

Leïla Bekhti attended the Rome Film Festival to promote her new film, Changer L’Eau Des Fleurs, delivering two very different looks for the photocall and premiere.

Photocall

We all know just how understated Leïla’s style usually is, so I was surprised to see her wearing this Prada Fall 2026 look, which feels far removed from her usual style sensibilities. Between the layered top and the distressed hemline of the grey skirt, this was a left-field choice that I don’t believe paid off.

Prada ambassador Benedetta Porcaroli wore this same look during the Venice Film Festival, and for me, it was a much better fit for her personal style.

Premiere

The evening’s premiere saw Leïla return to familiar territory in a Ralph Lauren Spring 2027 look that feels much more in line with the style I have always known her for.

You only have to look at the gold skirt to recognise Ralph Lauren’s signature approach to eveningwear. And while Leïla didn’t style it with the navy blazer and blue waistcoat seen on the runway, pairing it with a simple white shirt ensured the look still felt unmistakably Ralph Lauren.

I particularly love the contrast between the relaxed shirt, with its open collar and rolled-up sleeves, and the lustrous gold skirt. It’s an uncomplicated combination, but one that feels so much more natural on her.

Chaumet jewels completed her premiere look.

Stylist: Emilie Kareh.
