Carole Bouquet receives the Trophée des Arts in New York in a superb feathered Chanel dress

The Trophée des Arts gala dinner is an annual event organized by the French Institute Alliance Française to raise funds to promote the teaching of the French language and the diversity of French-speaking culture around the world. This year marks a special occasion as the Institute celebrates its 125th anniversary and the Palace of Versailles celebrates its 400th^e birthday. These two events were highlighted in the celebrations of this edition.

The distinguished personalities in 2023 are Bruno Pavlovskypresident of the fashion department of Chanel, and Carole Bouquet. The actress, known for her impeccable style, chose a spectacular salmon-colored feathered dress by Chanel, of which she is an essential ambassador. She paired it with sequined tweed coat. Her hair was tied back and revealed pearl earrings with the Chanel logo. This look is undoubtedly a perfect way to export French and Parisian style to the rest of the world.

The last time we saw Carole Bouquet was at the Monte-Carlo Opera’s birthday dinner. She wore a Scottish tweed jacket and a full skirt, accompanied by her daughter-in-law, Charlotte Casiraghi and her mother-in-law and friend Caroline of Monaco. A trio with exceptional style who gave us the best inspiration for looks created from Chanel creations.

The Trophée des Arts dinner, held at the Plaza Hotel, was prepared by the multi-award winning chef Yannick Alléno et Stéphanie Le Quellec, who re-imagined the historic dinners held at Versailles. The iconic pastry The duration brought the finishing touch, of course, with treats.

The Trophée des Arts prize, awarded to Bruno Pavlovsky and Carole Bouquet, is a reproduction of the original prize created by French artist Arman in 1992.
