Milena Smit – Francesc Planes Photoshoot, Cannes Film Festival, May 2025

The sharp, architectural silhouette, with its strong shoulders and tailored fit, accentuates Smit’s poise and commands attention. This bold piece is a modern homage to Viktor & Rolf’s theatrical flair, particularly reminiscent of their 2008 ‘No’ collection which similarly played with exaggerated proportions and stark statements. Smit’s minimal styling—pulled-back hair and subtle jewelry—allows the dress to be the focal point, underscoring its artistic merit and her confident embrace of high fashion. This look solidifies her status as a sartorial risk-taker, moving beyond traditional glamour to pure runway fantasy.
