Carla Bruni dazzling at the Balmain show in a pearl dress

Paris Fashion Week is in full swing. The Balmain parade, which took place on Wednesday, September 29, 2021 at the Seine Musicale, caused a sensation. The brand’s artistic director, Olivier Rousteing, was celebrating his 10 years at the head of Balmain. The cast was up to the event: Carla Bruni, Naomie Campbell, Cindy Bruna, Milla Jovovich, Natalia Vodianova and many other models. The collection caused a sensation, by mixing modernity and reinterpretation of signature pieces that made Olivier Rousteing so successful, such as the dress embroidered with pearls. It is also this dress that Carla Bruni wore to close the parade. Short cut, shoulder pad to structure the silhouette, embroidered pearls… This iconic model is revisited here in beige. At 53, Carla Bruni has shown that beauty has no age.

Carla Bruni and the 90s models at the top

This isn’t the first time that supermodels from the 90s have returned to the catwalks. In 2017, Donatella Versace had involved Carla Bruni, Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell … All were present, except Eva Evangelista who had to decline the invitation of the house Versace. Carla Bruni was not the only one to cause a sensation during this parade. Indeed, Naomi Campbell appeared with a mermaid dress embroidered with pearls and sequins in brown tones. Another remarkable outfit: the one Cindy Bruna wore: a dark blue and gold jumpsuit with a diamond pattern. Natalia Vodianova wore a beige dress with thick, pleated fabric, somewhat reminiscent of the armor of a knight from the Middle Ages or that of the gladiators of ancient Rome.
