With over 114 nominations and 79 awards won, Marion Cotillard is undoubtedly one of the most recognised French actresses of our time. After her incredible performance in La Vie en Rose by Oliver Dahan, Cotillard’s career skyrocketed and has been unstoppable ever since. Marion has spent this red carpet season showing up in jaw-dropping looks, and this evening at Cannes Film Festival was no different.
The French actress and CHANEL Ambassador wore the most elegant long dress in white lace and silver metallic from CHANEL’s Fall-Winter 2020/21 Haute Couture collection. For accessories, the actress opted for CHANEL shoes, Fine & High Jewelry, along with a full glam from CHANEL Make-up.
Cotillard explained exclusively to GRAZIA, “Chanel is a house that has always fascinated me, that has always made me dream. It’s hard to describe, it’s like a dream made real. There’s something quite magical about Chanel: this house has the power to amaze. I wore the perfume Coco, that was my first encounter with Chanel. And my first connection with Chanel is a film, Pretty Things by Gilles Paquet-Brenner, for which the house of Chanel lent jewellery for my character. At the time, they invited me to fashion shows which had a big impact on me as a fashion novice. I was fascinated by Chanel’s aura and the magic that surrounds her. And the house also accompanied me throughout the American adventure in La Vie en Rose.”
In February 2020, Cotillard was appointed a CHANEL ambassador where she became the Face of CHANEL’s Numéro 5 perfume campaign, directed by Johan Renck and took part in the digital amplification program. “Being a muse, representing a perfume, is a very beautiful role and it’s also amazing to meet all the wonderful people who bring this house to life. It’s the first time I’ve been involved with a perfume. N°5 tells and symbolises the history of the house and has strong links with the film world. This is the beginning of the adventure for me but it is already so strong and so beautiful.”
