The 5 Best-Dressed People Of 2024

French model and singer Yseult was the queen of Cannes fashion.

Fashion nerds keeping an eye on the Cannes Film Festival this year would’ve been quick to spot Yseult in a new iteration of Christian Dior’s “New Look,” popularized in his first collection from 1947.

“I thought, I’m going to do Cannes — and I want to feel strong, I want to feel fierce,” Yseult told the Washington Post in May.

She added, “I think why people love how I fit this dress is because of my body. My body is unique. I’m a plus-size girl, you know, and I really embrace all the curves. I really embrace myself. For the first time we see a body — a plus-size body — in [this look].”

Yseult’s candor is exactly what excites Mays.

“She’s partnered with Dior frequently, which I am so excited by because I think, so often, our understandings of size inclusivity are kind of skewed in the fashion world. You get something that’s a size 16 and it fits like a 10,” Mays told BI. “But to see somebody that actually looks like me and to be celebrated in a luxury space and to do it in a cool way, and I think she’s another one that kind of plays on this notion of gender fluidity,” noting that she can go from wearing a vintage-inspired Dior gown to a suit and tie.

“I think when you can do that, it’s such a marker of someone that has true style,” Mays said.
