Ksenia Sobchak’s recent appearance on the Cannes red carpet was less a symphony of style and more a cacophony of clashing aesthetics, according to a seasoned stylist. The ensemble—a kaleidoscope of retro ambition and modern audacity—left fashion insiders scratching their heads like confused art critics at a postmodern exhibit.
The outfit, plucked from Prada’s spring-summer 2025 collection, was a tug-of-war between decades: a glossy orange windbreaker straight out of the early 2000s, paired with a feather-trimmed blue dress whispering of 1920s decadence. "It’s like mixing a disco ball with a gramophone," quipped the stylist. The accessories—a dainty white sports bag and sharp-toed pumps—only deepened the dissonance, turning the look into a "style salad with too many dressings."
The stylist’s prescription? Less librarian, more rebel. Swap the classic red lip for moody noir gloss, trade the polished updo for tousled waves, and—for heaven’s sake—ditch the prim shoes. "Blue round-toes or even chunky sneakers would’ve whispered ‘cool’ instead of screaming ‘confused.’" Even the hat Sobchak wore days prior—a purple behemoth likened to "herring under a fur coat"—got a backhanded compliment: "At least it committed to a theme."
Yet beneath the sartorial chaos lies Sobchak’s trademark: trend-hopping fearlessness. Whether it’s feathers or futrism, she wears trends like a bull wears a china shop—loudly, and with inevitable collateral damage.
