Turkish actress Hande Ercel has officially ended her professional relationship with her long-time stylist Inan Kirdemir. The television star recently stepped out at the Cannes Film Festival sporting a fresh look curated by a brand new fashion expert.

Reports suggest that the sudden split stems from a significant disagreement regarding an upcoming Saint Laurent fashion show. The luxury brand was reportedly looking to invite a prominent Turkish celebrity to their event. Kirdemir pitched both Ercel and fellow actress Serenay Sarikaya to the label. Ultimately, the fashion house concluded that Sarikaya was a better match for their specific style, target demographic and overall aesthetic.

Following the brand’s decision, Ercel immediately began searching for a new styling team, cut professional ties and unfollowed Kirdemir across all social media platforms.

For her highly anticipated appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, the actress enlisted the expertise of Danielle. The stylist is already well established within the fashion industry for her work with high-profile figures such as Georgina Rodriguez and Tyra Banks. The bold decision clearly paid off as internet users, fans and fashion critics alike heaped praise on Ercel’s stunning red carpet image.

In related news, the actress’s former partner Hakan Sabanci has also been capturing the public’s attention. The entrepreneur recently surprised his followers with a drastic change of image. His fresh look became a major talking point on social media following a recent public outing alongside his mother.
