As one of the most award-winning actresses in film history, Isabelle Huppert has never searched for red carpet glamour throughout the course of her decades-long career. She simply is it. The actress has been doing “French Girl” style before it was cool, bringing a certain je ne sais quois to the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals as the star of films like Violette Nozière, The Piano Teacher, and Elle.
Huppert, who first hit the film festival scene in the ’70s, quickly developed her personal style with elegant, tea-length dresses, the occasional plunging power suit, and lots and lots of sequins. Nowadays, the actress is usually outfitted in the outlandish designs of Demna’s Balenciaga (she was named as one of the brand’s ambassadors in 2023) but is no stranger to top brands like Dior, Armani, and Louis Vuitton, either. Below, from Venice to Cannes and everywhere in between, a look through the best of Isabelle Huppert’s film festival style.
