At the 73rd San Sebastián Film Festival, Barbara Lennie fused high fashion and activism — brown satin, sculptural leather, and a bold badge that turned styling into statement.
Barbara Lennie didn’t just dress for the photocall — she dressed for the moment. In satin and leather, she turned a fashion spread into a statement.
The blouse, with its soft sheen and fluid drape, evokes classic eveningwear — but here it’s recontextualized for daytime activism. The leather skirt, high-waisted and flared, adds structure and edge. Together, they create a silhouette that’s both editorial and grounded, a fashion photoshoot idea that feels lived-in.
The pairing of satin and leather is deliberate — a tactile contrast that speaks to duality: softness and strength, elegance and defiance. The zipper and button details on the skirt add utilitarian notes, while the tucked blouse keeps the look refined. It’s a studio portrait in motion.
Jewelry stays minimal, letting the textures lead. But the badge — “STOP INVASION” — shifts the narrative. It’s not just styling, it’s messaging. In a high fashion context, it reads as a call to consciousness, a reminder that beauty shots can carry weight.
Gia Coppola brought an intellectual, minimalist chic to the 73rd San Sebastian International Film Festival, championing a structured black tunic that was rich in architectural detail.
The celebrity event look at a major film festival often favors decadence, but Gia Coppola consistently opts for a more cerebral style. For the Red Carpet Opening Ceremony of the 73rd San Sebastian International Film Festival, the director unveiled an exquisitely tailored public appearance ensemble that was a masterclass in controlled severity.
The garment is a striking, sleeveless black dress crafted from a structured, matte fabric that resists flow, instead holding a precise, minimalist silhouette. The shape suggests an elegant tunic, cut to fall just at or below the knee. What defines this celebrity event look is the sophisticated attention to line and detail: a subtle mandarin-style collar lends a refined, almost historical air, beautifully contrasted by the modern, geometrically cut cap sleeves .
Adding a moment of textural interest is the elegant black tie detail —a fixed ribbon or sash that originates near the neckline and cascades vertically down the front of the media event attire. This single flourish prevents the monochrome piece from feeling overly severe, introducing a subtle, asymmetrical grace.
At the 73rd San Sebastián Film Festival, Silvia Acosta redefined photocall fashion — crisp shirting, hybrid tailoring, and a confident silhouette that fused classic menswear with editorial edge.
Silvia Acosta didn’t just show up for the photocall — she edited it. In a tailored ensemble that fused pinstripe tradition with skirted innovation, she made menswear feel cinematic.
The look is a masterclass in hybrid tailoring. The pinstripe trousers anchor the outfit in classic suiting, but the skirt overlay disrupts the silhouette with movement and asymmetry. It’s a designer outfit that evokes the precision of Thom Browne and the fluidity of Comme des Garçons — structured, but never stiff.
The black heeled boots extend the line of the leg and reinforce the outfit’s verticality. The absence of jewelry keeps the focus on cut and proportion. The tie — a simple black strip — adds a graphic element that balances the skirt’s softness.
The outdoor setting, with its coastal light and branded podium, frames Acosta as both actress and fashion subject. Her stance is confident, her expression composed. It’s the kind of presence that turns a photocall into a fashion spread.
