The diva who did not remember (nor wanted to remember) the genius behind her outfit
Ah, the Cannes Film Festival: that place where celebrities go to shine, to pose and, in the case of Belinda, to demonstrate that memory is an accessory as volatile as a rhinestone bag. The singer, who arrived at the event as an ambassador for a brand (which, of course, we all remember but we won’t mention just in case), stole everyone’s attention with a black dress that, according to haute couture experts, was so “spring-summer 2023” that it almost had “I’m from last year” written on the hem.
The awkward moment that no one asked for but everyone needed
Between flashes and forced smiles, Belinda was asked who had designed her spectacular outfit. Your answer? A silence more eloquent than an Oscar speech. Because, of course, why memorize designer names when you can let Vogue do it for you? The dress in question, the work of Sabina Bilenko (yes, that designer we all Google now), featured gold embroidery that, ironically, was worth more than the effort to remember its origin.
It is not the first time that the actress forgets credits, but this time the lapse became pure gold for the internet. It didn’t take long for the memes to appear: from comparisons with Dory from Finding Nemo to edits where the dress screamed “I’m Sabina’s, damn it!” Of course, the design – a velvet bodysuit with a long skirt and side slit – complied with the Cannes protocol. Because, in the end, the important thing is not who did it, but how many flashes it attracts, right?
And while the media speculates whether this was an oversight or a marketing strategy (who needs to remember names when you create a trend?), Belinda remains the queen of elegance… and selective forgetfulness.
