If there is anyone on this planet who is innately cool, it’s Isabelle Huppert. At 71, the French actor never fails to hit the right note on the red carpet—just see her recent appearance at the Venice Film Festival. Ahead of a screening of Queer, she arrived wearing a show-stopping embellished dress and beret, and an equally dazzling beauty look.

It was a sum of effortless French parts. From her deep red lip and bare skin to that vampy black manicure, Huppert knows how to make a statement on the red carpet. No need for much eye makeup—as is the French way—instead, just throw on a lick of mascara and be done with it! Je suis complet!
Her curly bob was the perfect juxtaposition to the glitzy ensemble. With her natural tawny waves cut into an undone bob—which sat mid-way between her jaw and shoulders—Huppert’s hair looked like it had been left to do its own thing. It was a lesson in the art of French style: Make a statement with a look that’s neither contrived nor obviously done. Huppert does it again.
