The Dior Spring/Summer 2023 show in Paris on Monday was wall to wall with A-list names such as Kirsten Dunst and Karlie Kloss, but what was most impressive were all the legends who attended.
There were several familiar faces there who made their mark decades ago: movie stars, models and socialites who all made entertainment headlines in the 1940s to 1990s – and they all look exceptional today.
The main icons of the event were Catherine Deneuve, 79, Carla Bruni, 55, Isabelle Adjani, 67, Bianca Jagger, 77 and Marisa Berenson, 75.
The event was part of Haute-Couture Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2023.
Catherine Deneuve, 79, one of the best French actresses of all time, looked ready for her close-up in a stunning brown coat over a floral-print shirt.
The blonde bombshell is known for the film The Last Metro (1980), for which she also won the David di Donatello for best foreign actress, and Indochine by Régis Wargnier (1992).
She first came to prominence in Jacques Demy’s 1964 musical, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.
And then the siren worked for Roamn Polanski in Repulsion (1965), and for Buñuel in Belle de Jour (1967) and Tristana (1970).

Her English language films include The April Fools (1969), Hustle (1975), The Hunger (1983), Dancer in the Dark (2000) and The Musketeer (2001).
