Adèle Exarchopoulos Channels Femme Fatale at Balenciaga Couture

In a noir-soaked moment, Adèle Exarchopoulos arrives at Balenciaga’s final Demna show—leather trench, sheer stockings, and a gaze that cuts through the crowd.

On July 9, 2025, Adèle Exarchopoulos stepped into the cinematic chaos of Paris Fashion Week, arriving at the Balenciaga Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025/2026 show with the kind of presence that doesn’t ask for attention—it commands it. Her look? A study in controlled drama.

She wore a long black leather trench coat, belted at the waist to sculpt a silhouette that felt both armored and sensual. The coat’s glossy finish caught the light in flashes, echoing the paparazzi’s frenzy as she moved through the crowd. Beneath, sheer black stockings and pointed-toe heels added a whisper of provocation—less overt than theatrical, more Parisian than performative.

The setting was charged: photographers jostling, attendees murmuring, and the looming knowledge that this was Demna’s swan song for Balenciaga. According to Marie Claire, the designer’s final couture presentation drew a noir-coded crowd—Nicole Kidman in jet black, Cardi B in lace, and Exarchopoulos herself styled like a modern-day Marlene Dietrich. Her flamboyant nails and Matrix-style sunglasses sealed the femme fatale narrative.
