Since her debut at Cannes Film Festival in 2021, Yseult has become one of the most unpredictable but stylish presences on the Croisette. Collaborating with brands like Balenciaga, Schiaparelli, and Alexander McQueen, the French singer fuses avant-garde flair with traditional Riviera chic. Her statement-making silhouettes are a rarity among Cannes attendees, making her style truly stand out. This year, Yseult chose to update a legendary haute couture look.
On the red carpet for Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, Yseult honored Christian Dior’s iconic “New Look” with a modern twist. She donned a white, waist-cinching bar jacket and a black pleated midi-skirt, expertly crafted by Dior’s haute couture ateliers. Her ensemble was elevated with sleek black leather gloves, a tilted straw hat and classic black patent leather pumps.

Dior’s New Look line, featuring nipped-in waists and exaggerated feminine silhouettes, defined the ’50s. This swift departure from the masculine ’40s introduced softened, padded shoulders, cinched waists and hips enhanced by tulle and crinolines. Today, Yseult revitalizes this historic silhouette on the Cannes red carpet, showcasing its versatility for all body shapes. We can’t wait to see what other looks Yseult has up her (couture) sleeves.
