Marion Cotillard Finds the Ultimate Concert Tee at Cannes

Marion Cotillard may be associated with the kind of classic French style she exemplified as the face of Lady Dior, but her Cannes wardrobe has been far from traditional. From arriving in sporty Y-Project at the photocall for her latest film, Ishmael’s Ghosts, to donning a custom Michael Halpern jumpsuit at the Chopard Trophy event, Cotillard and her stylist Elliot Bliss have kept things modern and edgy throughout her time at the festival. And her latest look may be her most daring yet.

Joining the luminaries of international film at the photoshoot for Cannes’ 70th anniversary, Cotillard chose a nostalgic t-shirt from Belgian label Filles à Papa which she paired with a lace skirt and glossy red Fendi thigh-high boots. The resulting combination was a sexy contrast to the prim dresses worn by other attendees. Forgoing the standard for unexpected pieces seems to be Cotillard’s preference lately, but her ultimate concert t-shirt was more than a fashion moment. Bearing the likenesses of David Bowie, Michael Jackson, George Michael and Prince and the words “Never Forget,” the shirt was a loving tribute to the music icons of the 80s. At an event all about celebrating the legacy of the past, the choice couldn’t have been more appropriate.
