Isabelle Huppert: With her fringed dress in the trendy color lime green, she steals the show in Cannes

Isabelle Huppert reminds everyone at Cannes 2025 what it takes to make a dramatic appearance on the red carpet.

Although the sun had already set on the Croisette, Isabelle Huppert appeared on the red carpet wearing black sunglasses – a wise move, as the French film star was immediately greeted by a flurry of photographers' flashbulbs.

On the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, there are those who walk the red carpet – and those who enchant it. Isabelle Huppert has always belonged to the latter category. With her elegantly cool charisma, her impeccable posture, and her gaze that speaks louder than a thousand words, the French actress dominated the Croisette as only a true icon can. Added to that was her show-stealing look, which fused high fashion and personal charisma into a performance that will be etched in the fashion memory of the film festival.

In the run-up to the film festival, the adjusted dress code had caused controversy . Isabelle Huppert's choice of dress remained unaffected – she wore neither a long train nor a nude dress. Instead, she opted for a gown designed by Demna for Balenciaga , featuring fringes and lime green – one of the trend colors for summer 2025. The flowing silhouette of the dress created an almost hypnotic movement with every step across the red carpet. The vibrant color harmonized magnificently with the actress's reddish hair.

The fringe—a key element of Balenciaga's couture collection this year—gave the gown a dynamic aura that oscillated between futurism and Old Hollywood glamour. The red carpet look was completed with matching jewelry—a double necklace, dangling earrings, and a statement ring.

The actress presented "The Richest Woman of the World," a new film by Thierry Klifa, in which she plays Marianne Farrère, a powerful billionaire at the head of the Windler cosmetics empire. Loosely based on Liliane Bettencourt, the former heiress of L'Oréal, the character is a woman of great influence, yet very lonely. The plot revolves around her relationship with Pierre-Alain Fantin, a charismatic photographer and writer played by Laurent Lafitte, who arouses suspicion among Marianne's daughter, Frédérique Spielman (Marina Foïs), and her loyal butler (Raphaël Personnaz).

The film, a French-Belgian comedy, explores themes of power, loneliness, and family dynamics, offering an intimate look into the life of a woman at the pinnacle of success but searching for authenticity. The film is scheduled for release this fall.
