Former Victoria’s Secret Angel Laetitia Casta proved she has lost none of her supermodel presence as she stepped out in France over the weekend.

The 48-year-old attended the closing ceremony of the 19th Angoulême French-Speaking Film Festival on Saturday, August 29 2026, looking effortlessly elegant in a crisp white shirt and voluminous pink skirt.

Laetitia wore the button-down tied casually at the waist, pairing it with the high-waisted, tiered midi skirt and cream pointed-toe heels.

She kept her beauty look understated, wearing her brunette hair in glossy loose waves and opting for natural makeup that highlighted her striking blue eyes.

The star joined figures from across French cinema at the closing night of the six-day festival, which celebrates French-language filmmaking and this year featured Cambodia as its guest country.

Laetitia became one of the defining models of the 1990s after being discovered as a teenager while holidaying in Corsica.

She went on to work with some of fashion's biggest names and became particularly associated with Guess? and Victoria's Secret, walking in the lingerie brand's fashion shows during the height of its '90s dominance.

Laetitia was also a muse to legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent and appeared on countless magazine covers before successfully moving into acting. 

Her screen career has since included roles in Asterix and Obelix vs. Caesar, Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life and Arbitrage, and she continues to work steadily in French film and television.

And it seems Laetitia may now be passing the modelling baton to the next generation. Her daughter Athena Accorsi made her runway debut earlier this summer at just 16, closing Jacquemus' Spring/Summer 2027 show in Corsica.

Athena, whose father is Italian actor Stefano Accorsi, drew immediate comparisons to her famous mother, with British Vogue noting their striking resemblance as the teenager made her first major fashion appearance.

Laetitia and Stefano, who were together for around a decade, also share son Orlando. The model is also mom to eldest daughter Sahteene from her relationship with photographer Stéphane Sednaoui.

She later married French actor Louis Garrel in 2017, and the pair welcomed son Azel in 2021.
