It has been a while since I wrote for my category ‘La Française’. This week, I’d like to dedicate my post to Marion Cotillard. I’ve been a fan of hers since she had a small role in Taxi– one of France’s most critically acclaimed movies. Who would I thought at that time that she would be the first person to win a prestigious Academy Award for a role in French? That happened in 2007 for her starring role as the French singer Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose.
She is internationally praised for her style à la Française! Her style is elegant and effortless – she is often seen wearing jeans, flat shoes, scarves and hats. That doesn’t prevent her from making fashion statements on the red carpet. I particularly loved the mermaid-looking dress by Jean-Paul-Gaultier that she wore at the Oscars in 2008 and the exquisite midnight blue gown by Christian Dior that she wore at the Oscars in 2009.
She has also been the face of Dior since 2008 and never cease to surprise me as to how she will look like for each campaign. Marion pulls off a totally different look and style for every season. You’d think one would get bored of the same face after six years, but the pictures speak for themselves. Have a look at Marion’s best fashion moments and let me know your thoughts.
