When Eiza González slipped into a cream tunic and coordinating crochet shorts she’d discovered at Zimmermann’s boutique, the look already had a destination: the brand’s sun-drenched long lunch in Antibes, France. Part of a days-long celebration of Zimmermann’s cruise 2027 collection along the French Riviera, the gathering unfolded at Villa Dorane, the storied Cap d’Antibes estate of collector Jean Pigozzi, long a magnet for the international art and fashion set.

“I saw this from a mile away,” González tells ELLE of the look, which features co-ords done in an open-knit crochet with feminine lace and black trim. “I was like ‘this is what I want to wear.’ It’s just so chic, elegant, and timeless. It’s such a feminine look, I love the details of the crochet. I’m always into a little crochet moment.”

Once at the villa, González slipped effortlessly into the Riviera set, joining fellow guests Jodie Turner-Smith, Pom Klementieff, Ego Nwodim, and Abby Champion. As afternoon stretched into evening, the fête drifted from a leisurely lunch to garden games, poolside lounging, and a DJ set—the kind of Riviera chic itinerary González dressed for accordingly.

She paired the crochet set with strappy Lumi sandals and Zimmermann’s Goldentime ruffle tote, a sculptural carryall whose rippling silhouette echoes the coral of the Mediterranean. “It just feels very fresh, very contemporary, cool woman,” González said of the look.
