To inaugurate the new Swarovski exhibition in Milan on June 16, 2024, Laetitia Casta opted for a trompe-l’oeil dress from a major designer.
Laetitia Casta headed to Italy on June 16, 2024 to discover the exhibition Swarovski Masters of Light – From Vienna to Milan in preview. Even surrounded by jewelry from the brand founded in 1895, Laetitia Casta was the most dazzling.
To explore this unique retrospective in Europe, the actress opted for an asymmetrical dress. It was a creation from the house of Mugler, made from a transparent mesh fabric decorated with a black and brown pattern. When it came to choosing her jewelry, Laetitia Casta obviously turned to the Swarovski house. She wore silver octagonal hoop earrings, several bracelets and a necklace set with white diamonds. Sumptuous.
“If an outfit isn’t interesting because of the color, it should be interesting because of the cut. If it’s not interestinge thanks to the cut, it must be thanks to the material. If it is not interesting thanks to the material, it must be interesting thanks to the color”. Launched by @thanyaw_ on TikTok, this sound has now gone around the world. A state of mind and a way of seeing the fashion (and style) that Laetitia Casta seems to have adopted for many years already.
What does Laetitia Casta wear on the red carpet?
The actress takes care of each of her appearances. Always perched on high heels, she alternates between the femme fatale look and outfits with sober lines. A fair balance which results in a lot of black, but also very fluid cuts and textured materials. She does not hesitate, on occasion, to swap her long dresses for shorter, structured pieces.
When she’s not walking the red carpet for premieres, Laetitia Casta sports a rather classic style that she knows how to twist like no one else. A trouser suit tucked into high boots, slightly wide jeans worn with a big shearling jacket, or even a Courrèges mini dress which is enough in itself…
What are the actress’ favorite brands?
The model is invited season after season to Jacquemus fashion shows, showing off her deconstructed dresses in neutral hues from her front row seat. We also saw her in the front row of the ceremony which consecrated the founder of the brand, Simon Porte Jacquemus, Knight of Arts and Letters at the beginning of March 2024. Although she has left the catwalks behind her for several years, Laetitia Casta makes a few exceptions, notably for Ami, whose artistic director Alexandre Mattiussi she supports, or even Jean Paul Gaultier. On the red carpet, she alternates between French, English and Italian brands, wearing Givenchy, Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana and Dior in turn.
What did her wedding dresses look like?
If the photos of her marriage to Louis Garrel (in 2017, editor’s note) have never been revealed in the press, we have nevertheless already seen her on several occasions in a white dress. It was in the 90s, at Yves Saint Laurent. Over the seasons, she closed many of the designer’s shows, wearing immaculate empire-waist dresses, entirely covered in roses or embroidered with feathers.
By focusing on a strong piece and accessorizing it with minimalist elements — or the opposite. For example: combine a very original dress with classic black pumps or, for the more shy, opt instead for an outfit in neutral colors, and focus on colorful accessories (like fuchsia heeled sandals). The idea: to feel good in your clothes, without trying to follow trends. And, above all, stay true to the things you love, year after year.
