But what was Isabelle Huppert doing in the stands at a PSG match?

We are more used to seeing Isabelle Huppert on screen or on red carpets, wearing designer outfits. As recently as September 8, she closed the Venice Biennale as President of this 81st edition, in a majestic white dress by Balenciaga. But on September 18, as shown in photos published by Paris Match Isabelle Huppert swapped her sequins for a leather jacket and a black cap to take her place, not in the stands of a Fashion Week show, but in those of the Parc des Princes. The actress, who had nevertheless tied a Balenciaga scarf around her neck, came accompanied by Lorenzo Chammah, her youngest son, 36 years old. That evening, the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) team faced the Italians of Girona for its first Champions League match.

A mother-son date

Other celebrities came to support the Parisians. Among them, comedian Alison Wheeler, actress Alice Belaïdi and journalist and TV host Michel Denisot. But contrary to what one might think, Isabelle Huppert’s presence at a PSG match is not a rare event. The 71-year-old actress is a regular at the Parc des Princes and it even seems that this mother-son outing is a ritual. This is evidenced by their presence in the stands in April, for the first leg of the round of 16 between PSG and FC Barcelona, ​​but also on September 19, 2019, for the Champions League match between PSG and Real Madrid. Isabelle Huppert is a football fan, a surprising role but one that ultimately suits her like a glove.
