At the Balmain show, Mélanie Laurent stands out with a structured and elegant look

Mélanie Laurent caused a sensation at the Balmain show with a look that was both chic and daring. Between an oversized coat, black velvet pants and gold accessories, the actress proved once again her sense of style.

Paris Fashion Week is in full swing and, like every year, the capital is becoming the stage for spectacular fashion shows. While the biggest fashion houses are presenting their Fall/Winter 2025-2026 collections, the guest list is also a real spectacle. On March 5, at the Balmain show by Olivier Rousteing , Mélanie Laurent stole the show. Her chic yet daring look captivated everyone’s attention.

Under her oversized black coat, Mélanie Laurent revealed a silhouette that was both elegant and structured. The key piece? A perfectly cut black coat with XXL shoulder pads, which gave her a look that was both powerful and refined. But it was when she took off this coat that the actress really made an impression. Under this strong piece, she opted for high-waisted pleated pants in black velvet, a rich material that immediately adds depth to the outfit while remaining elegant.

For the top, Mélanie Laurent chose a black tank top with a sweetheart neckline, perfectly fitted to her figure. Gold inserts around the thin straps and back added a sophisticated and contrasting touch, beautifully highlighted by the rest of the black outfit. The centerpiece of the look? A wide gold belt with an imposing buckle, which highlighted the waist and brought an additional touch of luxury. As for accessories, the actress opted for gold earrings with an original design, rings that perfectly completed the ensemble, as well as black pumps with pointed toes subtly hidden under her pants.

A complicity with Olivier Rousteing

If Mélanie Laurent’s presence in the front row of the Balmain show is not surprising, it is also because she shares a long-standing friendship with Olivier Rousteing. Very discreet about her private life, the actress and director nevertheless appears alongside the designer at certain fashion or charity events. Last December, she already caused a sensation at a dinner organized by Forbes, sporting a jacket with structured shoulders and the Jolie Madame bag by Balmain. An undeniable stylistic affinity that was confirmed once again at Paris Fashion Week.
