Halfdan Ullmann Tundel and Renate Rainsvi are making waves in Cannes

The prestigious Cannes Film Festival is in full swing, and many of the world's biggest stars have made the trip to the French port city. Among some of Hollywood's most famous stars, you'll also find a small handful of Norwegians.

Elin Dorrit Petersen (48 years old), Renate Rensef (36 years old) and Havdan Ullmann Tundel (34 years old) are among those who made the trip related to the feature film “Armand”.

This is Ullman Tundel's directorial debut, and the film will be screened only in Cannes. This is probably what many call a “tap my arm” moment. The 34-year-old said it was very special.

“This is the thing you dream of, but don't dare hope for,” he said. TV 2 Before the festival starts.

-Another phenomenal outfit

He wears luxurious fashion

It can be said that Halfdan Ullmann Tundel has the film industry in his veins – he has world-famous grandparents in actress Liv Ullmann (85) and Swedish director Ingmar Bergman.

There is no doubt that he is following in his grandfather's footsteps.

One of the main roles in the film is played by Reinsve. She and Ullmann Tundel have known each other for several years, and recorded a short film together in 2015. The latter explains to TV 2 that that experience was so powerful that they knew they had to work together again.

He actually gives Reinsve a lot of credit for creating “Armand.”

Now, when they shine together on red carpets during the film festival, it's not just about the movie they share. Reinsve and Ullmann Tøndel are among the select few chosen by French fashion house Louis Vuitton to design their clothes.

In recent years, Reinsve has appeared for the luxury brand several times, and is one of its ambassadors. So it's no surprise that the fashion house designed it for the festival. Ullman Tundel, on the other hand, seems to have been chosen for the occasion.

– Completely raw

The fashion house itself published pictures of the people dressed for the occasion. Apparently they only attracted ten people during the film festival – two of them Norwegians!

Reinsve is wearing what looks like a silver sparkly mini dress, with a fishnet skirt underneath.

Ullman Tundel wears an elegant black suit, with a clean white shirt and a black bow around the neck.

Se og Hør was in touch with KK's fashion editor Ida Elise Eide Einarsdóttir, who was very excited that Louis Vuitton had designed clothes for the two Norwegians.

– Now it looks like this: no one above him, no one next to him. Renate Reinsve is not only one of our leading actors, but also one of the biggest favorites in Norwegian fashion. That she chose Louis Vuitton is not entirely surprising, given her relationship with the French luxury fashion house. But it's still unparalleled, says Einarsdottir, adding:

Her career has secured her a foothold in the fashion industry, through close relationships with one of the world's most trend-setting luxury fashion houses. Yes, since she won the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival in 2021, she has worked closely with Louis Vuitton, and has often worn outfits from here on the red carpet. I've also sat in the front row during shows. Yes, he was the face of the advertising campaign for the French luxury fashion house. It's completely raw.

-Are we expecting another star?

The fashion editor notes that Rincevi has worn Louis Vuitton on some of the fashion world's leading red carpets — including BAFTA, the Oscars and the Met Gala.

She is an ambassador and friend of the house, and creative director Nicolas Ghesquière has promoted her as one of his favorites and inspirations. This time Halfdan Ullmann Tøndel is also wearing clothes from the French luxury fashion house. it is exciting. Do we sense the emergence of a new star in the world of fashion? One thing is for sure, they are being noticed in the fashion world.

Einarsdottir describes it as “very significant” for a Norwegian actor to work so closely with one of the world’s biggest fashion houses in this way, and over such a long period of time.

– Finally I got the right role

– There is no doubt that the red carpet is big business for both fashion houses as well as the stars themselves, and is perhaps the most important platform for fashion houses to show off next to the runway, says KK's fashion editor, adding:

– The clothes were specially designed by the creative director of Louis Vuitton, and Reinsve was also designed by world-famous fashion designer Carla Welsh, who has worked with the Norwegian star several times before.
