This occurred just hours after President Vladimir Zelensky met with U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance at the White House.
Reportedly, the detail of the actress's outfit marked the beginning of the evening: a yellow and blue pin in the colors of the Ukrainian flag.
Deneuve's gesture, as noted, symbolizes not only support for Ukraine but also her steadfast position on the international stage, where she regularly expresses solidarity with the Ukrainian people. It is known that since 2023, the actress has repeatedly supported Ukraine, including during the Cannes Film Festival, where she publicly recited poems by Ukrainian poetess Lesya Ukrainka.
