Last week, the star kicked off her Cannes experience when she attended the premiere of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny wearing a bold, red silk taffeta design by Alexander McQueen that piled on the ruffles. Today, for the L’été Dernier (Last Summer) premiere, Yseult switched things up and opted for Balenciaga’s puffy sleeved gown covered in strass embroidery from Demna’s fall 2023 collection She paired the dress with the label’s black spandex Pantaleggings. “With this look, I feel like I’m part of Demna’s storytelling,” says Yseult. “This is a graphic and long statement silhouette, thanks to signature Balenciaga lines found in the very defined shoulders.” For Yseult, these commanding ensembles are about much more than playing dress up, however. In an arena like Cannes, where size diversity is scarce, the French singer says she wanted to show up as authentically herself—in the most elevated way, of course. “Honestly, it’s a challenge to re think fashion on a plus size body, and re invent new lines while finding a good balance between my body and Balenciaga’s essence,” she says. To do this successfully, the star says she’s particular about a garment’s fit and overall silhouette. “I like my looks to be structured yet fluid,” she says. “I also like to play with the curves and pleats of my body, and to exaggerate and amplify its lines.”
The Cannes festival isn’t over just yet—it concludes on Saturday—so we will perhaps get one or two more head turning looks from the stylish singer. After that, she says she’ll continue working on new musical projects. “Professionally, my main goal is to develop my music and expand to the international musical scene,” says Yseult. “I’m currently preparing my first album produced by myself as an independent artist, and I hope to develop myself with a tour in the U.S., as I am already working on several features with American talents.” We can’t wait to see what that entails—and what it sounds like.Photo Rémi Pujol Good news for major red carpet fans The 2023 Cannes Film Festival is officially underway in Cannes, France. The annual event, which premieres and screens some of the most discussed films of the year, produces one of the most lavish step and repeats in the world. It’s a fashion spectacle on par with the Oscars and Met Gala, and a decidedly much more formal one than other film festivals like Venice or TIFF.
