Elodie wore a nude dress that not too subtly references the actress Marilyn Monroe, or rather the scandalous dress that went down in history with the name “Happy birthday Mr President dress”, the garment chosen to celebrate President Kennedy in 1962 (recently seen worn by Kim Kardashian for the red carpet of the 2022 Met Gala). They have in common the tone on tone color with the skin and a shimmer finish that enhances the feminine curves. If at the time crystals had been sewn, here we find a net made with lamé threads. Another reference is Cher, with her naked Bob Mackie dress worn at the 1974 Met Gala.

Elodie’s dress is in fact composed of a nude bodysuit with a net that covers the whole body, playing on layering. Her choice of details is coherent, ready to enhance the nude shimmer look: sandals with PVC stiletto heels, rings and dangling earrings loaded with pure diamonds.
Finally the hairstyle, a high, well-tightened chignon and the tuft left free ready to underline the look. The make-up is natural, we can say “nude”, matching the look that Elodie chose for the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
