Fresh off The Girl On The Train and the Magnificent Seven, Haley Bennett'ss star is rapidly on the rise. In this Marie Claire exclusive, she talks fashion, film, and first experiences.
What does the house of Dior represent to you? When I think of the house of Dior, I think of elegance, timelessness, and an allure that is impossible to describe. It's just Dior. No description needed.
You were invited to the show at Blenheim Palace. What do you think of the Cruise 2017 collection? The ambience at Cruise 2017 show made my heart beat a little quicker. It made my skin flush. The Blenheim palace is epic and is as lush and romantic as its beautiful gardens. It's history echoed from all the intricate walls. That was reflective of the collection.
According to you, what does this collection say about the spirit of Dior? There is a free-spirited vibe to Cruise 2017. I feel the collection is luxurious and easy-to-wear. It gives a nod to the past but remains modern and fresh.
How does it feel to wear this new collection for this series of pictures? I feel lucky to wear these designs. I feel at my best in Dior. It was a treat to be the first woman to wear the collection from the runways for the Dior magazine cover shoot. Out of a dream. And again for a shoot in New York.
Do you recognise yourself through the aesthetic of this collection? I really identify with the chameleon. As an actor, I get to experience these sort of transformations. While I recognise myself, it's a character. She is a woman that is mysterious and a little edgy.
Which look did you like the most? Why? I liked the freedom in this collection. The dresses are fluid and sing in the wind. They have movement. And sparkling details that grow like vines on the colorful fabric.
What is your vision of the Dior woman? The Dior woman is powerful and magnetic. She knows who she is and she wears it well.
