Hollywood Icon, Michelle Pfeiffer, Brings Timeless Power To Manhattan With Saint Laurent
By Fashion Editorial Staff
Saint Laurent unveiled its Summer 25 campaign as an iconic collaboration with Hollywood legend Michelle Pfeiffer. Under the direction of Anthony Vaccarello, the new campaign, shot by David Sims, heralds a new era of power dressing for the modern woman—one filled with elegance and tailored sophistication.
Photographed against a Manhattan skyline, Pfeiffer exudes the kind of confidence that typifies Saint Laurent's signature codes and ethos. In the campaign, she appears in tailored oversized suits, at once structured and delicate. Here, Vaccarello reimagines bold power-dressing silhouettes donned by the movers-and-shakers of the late 20th century.
Beyond the tailored suiting, the Summer 25 collection unveils intricate brocade and lace evening wear in rich jewel tones—deep burgundies, electric blues, verdant emeralds, and golden ambers. These bold creations, reflecting Vaccarello’s striking clash of colors and patterns, pay homage to the artistic influences revered by the House's founder. Yet, the campaign places its focus squarely on the timeless appeal of sharp tailoring, a powerful nod to Michelle Pfeiffer's own style legacy. Power suiting has always been a cornerstone of her iconic wardrobe, from her unforgettable portrayal of Elvira Hancock in Scarface, where silk blazers became her signature, to her transformative role in Batman Returns, where corporate sleekness met daring latex. Off-screen, Pfeiffer has consistently gravitated toward structured, refined pieces, making this collaboration both a natural fit and a thrilling evolution.
The influence of the era is unmistakable in the collection’s sharp lines and sculptural silhouette. Though stars like Nicole Kidman, Zoe Saldana, Ariana Grande, Elle Fanning, Eiza González, and Hailey Bieber have appeared in Saint Laurent's tailoring, Pfeiffer brings an unmatched gravitas and ease to the house's signature look.
The actress shared her excitement for the campaign on Instagram, stating, "It was an absolute honor to work with @anthonyvaccarello, @ysl, and be captured by @DavidSimsofficial on the Summer 25 campaign. Thank you, ysl! xx"
Pfeiffer’s effortless elegance and innate confidence remind us that Saint Laurent embodies ideals of accomplishment, self-discipline, and determination. More than that, the brand represents a timeless attitude. Pfeiffer perfectly embodies this contemporary identity: assured, unapologetic, and perpetually relevant.
In Michelle Pfeiffer, Saint Laurent has not only found its next muse, but one that resonates with both legacy and future.
