Last night at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, amidst a sea of ethereal chiffon and high-shine gowns, HoskElsa emerged as the ultimate style disruptor. The Swedish model-turned-actress shut down the red carpet at the premiere of The History of Sounds wearing an electrifying piece from the Thierry Mugler Archive, Fall/Winter 1995 collection.
It was pure Mugler—sharp, sculptural, unapologetically powerful. The look? A structured, corseted black gown with exaggerated shoulders and a cinched wasp waist, dripping in Mugler’s signature blend of femme fatale and sci-fi armor. Think dominatrix meets dark starlet—timeless, commanding, and oh-so-Rogue ItGirl.
Styled by her longtime collaborator (and fellow rule-breaker) Jamie-Mae Chen, the look was paired with minimal accessories to let the garment speak: black mesh opera gloves, diamond ear cuffs from Reza, and razor-sharp stilettos. Her beauty look was equally impactful—a sculpted high ponytail, razor-thin brows, and a vampy oxblood lip that nodded to 90s glam with a modern edge.
The Mugler moment wasn’t just fashion nostalgia—it was fashion history revived with contemporary confidence. Elsa’s choice sent a clear message: Cannes is still a place for risk, rebellion, and runway-turned-armor energy. While other stars shimmered, Elsa slayed—bringing archive to the future, and once again proving that she’s more than just a pretty face. She’s a fashion strategist.
With The History of Sounds already being whispered as an awards season dark horse, HoskElsa’s Mugler moment sets the tone: bold choices, deep cuts, and couture that speaks louder than words. Rogue ItGirl-approved.
