The love story between Isabelle Huppert and Balenciaga keeps going strong in Venice Coolness has no age nor context

Two days ago, the 81st edition of the Venice International Film Festival kicked off, and with it began the underlying fashion parade that has loyally accompanied it since 1932. However, the fashion action and related twists are not exclusively reserved for the red carpet. French actress and this year's Festival jury president, Isabelle Huppert, is the perfect example: on the 2nd day of the event, with her legendary elegance, she naturally stepped out of the Excelsior hotel wearing a crimson red hoodie and tracksuit set, paired with black sporty sneakers and an "I <3 Paris" cap, all by Balenciaga. And the look was thought through down to the last detail, with the Balenciaga-branded travel cup she carried in her hand. The cheerleading of a French institution combining comfort and Haute Couture, perfect for a stylish coffee break between two premieres. But the love story between the Maison of Avenue George V and the award-winning cinema star is nothing new.

Regarding the Venice Film Festival, she has also sported full Balenciaga looks, both on the red carpet and during her off-duty days. Upon her arrival, the star opted for a «Canadian tuxedo,» a full faded denim look paired with a simple white t-shirt, accessorized with circuit sneakers and sunglasses. For the much-anticipated premiere of Beetlejuice, directed by Tim Burton, crimson red was already her color of choice, opting for a custom Balenciaga dress inspired by the 45th look from the 50th black Haute Couture collection, modified to red exclusively for the actress and the occasion. A surprising color choice, yet one that perfectly suited the septuagenarian actress, who seems to defy the laws of time and aging, and a fiery color that matched her flaming red hair. And with seven days remaining until the end of the Festival, we have at least seven more occasions to discover ever more modern and innovative fashion statements from the actress, who never fails to surprise and never disappoints her audience.
