This time, she opted for an ochre denim shirt and matching jeans, which might be an even bigger departure than the colour itself. I can\u2019t recall the last time, if ever, I have seen Monica in denim.<\/p>\n<p>Between Monica in denim and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redcarpet-fashionawards.com\/2026\/08\/19\/isabelle-huppert-trades-balenciaga-for-brunello-cucinelli-at-locarno-film-festival\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Isabelle Huppert<\/a> embracing denim at the same festival, Locarno is suddenly becoming the place where actresses with instantly recognisable styles are taking a detour from their usual wardrobes.<\/p>\n<p>The black top, bag and sunglasses keep enough of Monica\u2019s signature style in the mix, but I\u2019m enjoying seeing her in something so unexpected.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FENDI-Custom-look-for-Monica-Bellucci-at-Locarno-Film-Festival-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-630801\" style=\"width:683px;height:auto\"  \/>Alessandro Levati\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Premiere<\/p>\n<p>But of course Monica would eventually return to her go-to colour, black, and her go-to fabric, lace, wearing a custom Fendi off-the-shoulder gown for the premiere.<\/p>\n<p>You can look at this two ways. Why break with a formula that works? Monica looks absolutely gorgeous here \u2013 devastatingly so \u2013 it\u2019s the kind of she has worn beautifully for years.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, when you picture Monica Bellucci in a black lace gown, you immediately think of Dolce &amp; Gabbana. So while Maria Grazia Chiuri is working within an aesthetic that suits Monica perfectly, I would love to see this new Fendi relationship establish a fashion language of its own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">FTC Disclaimer: Keep in mind that I may receive commissions when you click links and make purchases.
