Vanessa Paradis stunning in a plunging neckline dress at the Lyon Lumière Festival

The Lumière Festival, an unmissable annual event for cinema enthusiasts, opened its doors with great fanfare in Lyon on October 12. This 16th edition, marked by a poignant tribute to the actor Michel Blanc, who died on October 3 following an anaphylactic shock which caused angioedema, brought together many personalities. Among the 5,000 guests present during this opening night, big names in cinema walked the red carpet, such as Monica Bellucci, in a tight, off-the-shoulder dress with her companion, director Tim Burton, as well as Alexandra Lamy, Virginie Ledoyen or even Lambert Wilson.

Among the most anticipated personalities of the evening, Vanessa Paradis particularly made an impression. Known for her discretion and natural elegance, the 51-year-old actress and singer made a remarkable appearance in a dress with a daring neckline. While she prepares the release of his new albumexpected in 2025, and is participating in the filming of a comedy after six years of absence, she has proven once again that she remains an essential figure in fashion.

A stunning and mastered style

When she arrived on the red carpet, Lily-Rose Depp’s mother caused a sensation in a sophisticated and daring outfit. She wore a sublime shimmering black dress with a deep V-neckline, enhanced by a long necklace adorned with a signed pendant Chanel. Openwork at the waist, it perfectly highlighted her slender silhouette and highlighted her flat stomach. Her shiny black cardigan added a stylish touch, softening the structured look of the top. As for the bottom of her outfit, which stretched to the ground, it harmoniously elongated her silhouette. To complete her look, she opted for a pair of patent ankle boots with wide heels, bringing a touch of modernity to the whole, while ensuring obvious comfort for the evening.

As usual, she also dazzled us with her naturally tanned complexion and radiant glow. For this, the artist chose minimalist makeup, highlighting the natural beauty of her face with a light pink blush which subtly enhanced her cheekbones. Her long, blonde hair, styled in soft waves, added a touch of freshness to her look, accentuating her casual yet sophisticated look.

Who is the plunging neckline suitable for?

If Vanessa Paradis’ outfit had such an effect, it’s because she subtly plays with proportions. Boasting a slender and delicate silhouette, the actress knows perfectly how to highlight her “H” shape by opting for cuts that emphasize her thin waist while elongating her silhouette. Her choice of dress thus helps to structure and balance the whole, creating an elegant and modern look.

The plunging neckline is particularly suitable for slender silhouettes like that of the singer, but also for “V” or “rectangle” body shapes which seek to draw attention to the bust. It highlights the head posture and visually lengthens the body line. However, if you have a generous chest or if you prefer a more discreet look, it is advisable to favor a less deep neckline. This type of outfit can be worn for both a dressy evening and a more casual event, choosing fluid or satin materials for a guaranteed glamorous effect.
