Iconic supermodel Twiggy attended the photocall for her new documentary “Twiggy” during the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France, on Wednesday, channeling menswear inspiration.
In honor of her documentary’s photocall, Twiggy wore a black suit with slim-fitting trousers, a white ruffled button-up shirt unbuttoned at the top and a black tie loosened around her neck. She accessorized with round-frame sunglasses.
Twiggy is in Cannes to promote the Sadie Frost directed documentary about her life. Metaverse company Hadean teamed up with film and TV studio Film Soho at the festival to create a photo- realistic interactive experience to a live global audience allowing fans world wide to access and explore the set whilst director Sadie Frost shot the last scene of the documentary in virtual production.
Supported by Epic Games, disguise and ASW, the scene immersed Twiggy in a photo realistic recreation of Carnaby Street in 1968. The documentary’s final scene is being produced live at the Film Festival in just 48 hours using Film Soho’s virtual production stage.
Many longtime fans of “America’s Next Top Model” might remember Twiggy from her time as a judge on the show from seasons five to nine. Twiggy started her modeling career in the ’60s and eventually became a British cultural icon. “The Daily Express” named her “The Face of 1966.”
The Cannes Film Festival reigns as a celebratory arena for international film, esteemed directors, filmmakers, actors and cultural productions.
