Amanda Seyfried Proves Less Is More With Cropped Pinstripe Look in France
Amanda Seyfried turned heads in Paris this week at the French premiere of her latest film, bringing elegance and poise to the Cinema Max Linder on Tuesday, February 17. The actress attended the special screening of The Testament of Ann Lee, drawing attention not only for her fashion choices but also for the powerful historical role she portrays.
The 40-year-old Academy Award nominee looked effortlessly chic in a cropped double-breasted wool blazer by Chloé, paired with a black skirt layered over knee-length pants. Her soft blush makeup and subtle nude lips complemented the look perfectly, creating an understated but striking red carpet appearance.
Seyfried’s hair was styled naturally, allowing the outfit to take center stage. She shared the red carpet with director and co-writer Mona Fastvold, celebrating the European debut of the religious musical biopic. Speaking with reporters, Seyfried explained why the role of Ann Lee resonated with her.
“In her community, gender and race didn’t define anyone. Everyone worked together and built a life based on respect and shared purpose,” she said. The actress noted how inspiring it was to portray someone who challenged the social norms of her time while fostering a sense of equality and unity.
