When it comes to airport travel, French women understand that the best combination is jeans paired with trainers.

      Although Isabelle Huppert’s public appearances are infrequent, one can always expect her to make a statement with an outfit that deserves attention. As an icon of French cinema and fashion, the actress has devoted decades to cultivating her impeccably tailored and intriguingly subversive wardrobe, defying typical notions of what a chic Parisian woman in her seventies should wear. (Think skin-tight leather pencil skirts, skinny jeans, and alluring lace dresses!)

      This week, at the annual Cannes Film Festival, Huppert reinforced her unconventional style by donning a classic travel outfit for her journey to Nice Côte d'Azur. While you wouldn’t typically find her in something as mundane as straight-leg jeans and a beige car coat, her role as a Balenciaga brand ambassador has led her to embrace the previous creative director Demna’s high-low dressing philosophy, making this luxurious take on everydaywear a part of her repertoire.

      For her flight, Huppert opted for dark-wash flared jeans, a coordinating denim jacket, and a long, lightweight coat. She finished the outfit with Balenciaga’s City Bag in a deep teal, a pair of chunky Jet trainers from the brand, and oversized sunglasses. These key pieces are undoubtedly essential to a French woman's wardrobe, and with summer underway in Europe, we can expect to see this ensemble recreated as travel plans unfold. Whether viewed as a bold interpretation of Riviera style or quintessential Terminal One attire, this look is certainly remarkable. Elegant, composed, and Parisian-approved, find the staples to mimic this ensemble below.
