On the sun-drenched French Riviera, where each step on the red carpet tells its own story, one of the most memorable moments of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival was the powerful appearance of Tatyana Kulagina and Natalia Minina—a striking blend of fashion, elegance, and ageless confidence.
Businesswoman, model, and advocate for women’s empowerment, Tatyana Kulagina captivated audiences with her graceful presence. Her look, a custom linen gown designed by Natalia Minina, embodied sophistication and depth. The ensemble echoed Minina’s design philosophy—a harmony of tradition, modern aesthetics, and respect for nature.
Renowned designer Natalia Minina, the creative force behind a couture wedding house founded in Minsk in 2019, has made her mark far beyond Belarus. From Paris to Dubai, she is recognized for her commitment to sustainable fashion and timeless beauty. Her Cannes creation, made from natural linen, symbolized purity, strength, and a deep connection to the earth—an elegant statement against the fast fashion norm.
Kulagina, meanwhile, is not only a model but a powerful figure on Europe’s runways. Competing internationally in the “Ideal of World Beauty” category and preparing for Paris Fashion Week as a 60+ model, she proves that style knows no age. Her continued collaboration with Minina showcases a growing creative synergy built on shared values.
Their appearance at Cannes was more than just a fashion highlight—it was a message. That beauty is timeless, that style is a voice, and that high fashion can be both conscious and inclusive. Together, they reminded the world that fashion can be a powerful dialogue between generations and cultures.
