Eva Green "needs a bit of outside inspiration" for her fashion choices.
The 44-year-old actress admitted while she leans towards "classic silhouettes", she enjoys the process of "telling a story" with her red carpet outfits.
She told Women's Wear Daily: "I am one of those people who needs a bit of outside inspiration. Once acquired, I tend to gravitate toward classic silhouettes with a touch of bold edge. "Putting together a red carpet look is a bit like crafting a character for the evening — each piece tells a story, capturing the theme and the mood of the event.
"My stylists are the unsung heroes, helping transform the idea into the reality.”
Green has teamed up with Roger Vivier for a short film showcasing the brand's iconic style.
She followed in the footsteps of Laura Fern for the second edition of 'Vivier Express Travelling Icons', which takes place on an Orient Express style set with a film noir twist.
In the video, she sports the I Love Vivier red suede pumps, and has a Viv' Choc handbag nearby.
The brand's creative director Gherardo Felloni has hailed Green as "perfect" for his vision, as he took inspiration from "noir films from the ‘40s and ‘50s associated with a low-key, black–and-white visual style".
The style has its roots "in German Expressionism cinematography".
He said: "It is a world where shadows speak, and every glance hides a secret.
"I envisioned Eva Green as our modern-day femme fatale, not just wearing the shoes and accessories but bringing them to life, infusing them with a sense of danger and desire."
The pair met earlier this year, and shared a "long conversation" about their shared passion for cinema and fashion.
Green said: "It was a joy to meet Gherado in person. He is kind, creative and funny. These are three excellent qualities that I admire in a man.”
She also praised the brand's ability "to fuse elegance with fantasy".
She continued: "Gherado creates an alchemy which is sophisticated and intelligent. But it’s also an invitation for playfulness and dreams.
"It’s a brand that reminds us beauty can be both endlessly thoughtful and expressive.”
