What a year it’s been for the French director Coralie Fargeat. Thanks to her 2024 film The Substance, starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley—two performances that had everyone talking—Fargeat has been thrust into the 2025 awards season race. And tonight, the film is nominated for several Golden Globe awards, including a nod for best director.
Knowing it was her moment in the spotlight, it was unsurprising that Fargeat brought out a striking fashion look for the occasion. On the red carpet, she chose a sculptural Balenciaga look that proved once again that directors can bring as much fashion drama as any A-list star.
