Standing 5 ft 8 (172.7 cm) tall and wearing a US shoe size 9.5, French actress Adèle Exarchopoulos became the youngest artist ever to receive the prestigious Palme d’Or at Cannes in 2013, sharing the honor with co-star Léa Seydoux and Blue Is the Warmest Colour director Abdellatif Kechiche.
The win not only marked her cinematic breakthrough but also introduced her as a rising fashion muse—later turning heads in a sheer Louis Vuitton lace dress and bold Jimmy Choo “Tiber” sandals. This outfit perfectly captured her mix of youthful edge and Parisian sophistication.

In the months following her Cannes win, Adèle began to define her signature aesthetic — relaxed, refined, and a touch rebellious.
