Isabelle Huppert’s Balenciaga look at the Met Gala 2024

Representing 1930s fashion, Isabelle wore a gown based on a wedding dress designed by her ancestors, the Callot Soeurs, while attending the 2024 Met Gala.
From the end of the 19th century until the 1930s, the Callot Soeurs was a prominent lace couture house. The group dressed empress Sissi, was quoted in Marcel Proust literature, and was greatly admired by Paul Poiret.
Strongly evocative of 1930s fashion with its sleek look and subtle sophistication, this wedding gown is composed of a turtleneck top worn over a dramatic dress. A four-meter train finishes the look.
Particular attention is paid to the details, as each piece is finished with handmade flat hems. A delicate patina is added to the bottom of the skirt, which is an authentic homage to the archival design. The gown pays tribute to the traditions of couture, the Callot Soeurs design, and Ms. Huppert’s legacy.
This creation was brought to life by the skilled artisans of Atelier Anne Gelgard, a renowned Parisian workshop celebrated for its mastery of fabric manipulation and treatment. With 20 meters of material and 300 hours of work, modifications were made from the original design, including changes to the collar, a construction split into two parts, and the addition of shoulder pads.
Unlike the original ensemble, which comprised a blouse and skirt, our rendition seamlessly blends blouse and dress elements. The neckline was refined for a more tailored fit, and internally bound seams of organza add a flawless finish.
