Elsa Hosk brought a dose of fashion history to the Cannes Film Festival red carpet.
On Wednesday, the model and Helsa fashion founder attended the The History Of Sound screening and walked the Cannes Film Festival red carpet in a black bodycon gown by Mugler, from the fashion house’s Fall/Winter 1995-1996 collection. The long-sleeve, transparent, optical dress was originally worn by Claudia Schiffer on the runway with the gown’s matching velvet reversible coat.
Honoring Schiffer’s full runway look, Hosk styled the historic dress in the exact same way, with an adornment of layered choker pearls and a blush flower that sat on the side of her classic updo. The model wore the black-and-blush reversible coat like a boa around her wrist, with the train of the coat following behind her.
The body-clinging black dress was vastly different from the bridal white look Hosk wore in Cannes the day before.
For the premiere of Rebecca Zlotowski’s Vie Privée (A Private Life), the model walked the red carpet at Palais des Festivals in a custom creation by Anastasia Zadorina. The romantic Grace Kelly-inspired gown had a structured strapless top and bodice made of delicately draped fabric, with a flowing feather-trimmed skirt. The model accessorized the glamorous look with diamond drop earrings and a matching necklace.
Hosk is not the only one who has taken to homage- or inspiration-dressing at this year’s film festival. Bella Hadid also paid tribute to a piece of Cannes fashion history when she donned an archival silver chainmail wrap dress by John Galliano during her spin around the French Riviera. The piece—which featured matching floral embellishments, ruffled hems, and a leg-baring asymmetrical skirt—was previously worn by Milla Jovovich to the Cannes Film Festival in 1997, as she promoted The Fifth Element.
