The actress is on the cover of the next magazine Number: special art. Draped in a white Balenciaga dress, her only glimpse peeking out from a high collar, the actress engages in a complicit dialogue with the Mona Lisa.
The scene is like a museum. Literally. For its next issue, NuméroSpecial Art spotlights Isabelle Huppert, looking back at her latest film, Sidonia in Japan. For the cover shot by photographer Reto Schmid, the magazine used one of the world’s most famous paintings, Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, which was exhibited at the Louvre Museum, as a background.
Isabelle Hooper can be seen in the foreground as a sculptural figure. Wrapped up in the ivory collar of her wedding dress, the multi-award winning French actress bares only the top of her head as she gives the camera a playful look. This emphasis on the gaze is not insignificant, as the Mona Lisa is known for following the eyes of those who look at her. Ours also focuses on Isabelle Huppert’s hands, replicating the hands of the Mona Lisa. Hence, the aesthetics are polished and the styling well thought out. With the folds of her dress, Isabelle Huppert also evokes her basement “neighbors,” the Cure Marley sculptures, as if she, too, were made of Carrara marble.
It’s actually a Balenciaga piece, the latest to appear at the Italian brand’s Pre Fall 2024 fashion show, which was presented last December in Los Angeles. Atypical, the dress has been making the rounds on social media and in magazines, with Nicole Kidman also wearing it on the cover of the April 2024 issue. He American.
