In 2012, Triet began to shift away from documentary films, writing and directing her first short film, Two Ships, which garnered a total of 9 total awards and 6 additional nominations in the film festival circuit that year, including Best European Short Film at the Berlin International Film Festival and Grand Prize for the Best International Short-film at the Angers European First Film Festival. Her directorial debut feature film, Age of Panic, was presented as part of the ACID programme at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival and was ranked number 10 on Cahiers du Cinéma's Top 10 List in 2013, after being highlighted by critic Stéphane Delorme in the April 2013 editorial among a generation of young, emerging French filmmakers. The film also won the Audience Award for Best Short Film at the Paris International Film Festival. In 2016, she wrote and directed the romantic comedy-drama In Bed with Victoria, which was nominated for the César Awards for Best Film and Best Original Screenplay. In 2019, her comedy-drama film Sibyl premiered at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, where it competed for the Palme d'Or. In 2023, her courtroom thriller Anatomy of a Fall was presented at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d'Or, making Triet the third female director to win the award.

Personal life Triet is in a relationship with French filmmaker Arthur Harari, with whom she has two daughters. The couple first worked together on Triet's Age of Panic (2013), with Arthur starring as Laetitia’s boyfriend. Since then, the couple had occasionally helped with each others projects, the most recent one being Anatomy of a Fall (2023); however, they do not plan to collaborate on any future projects following the completion of this film. Triet is a member of the French gender equality group Collectif 50/50. While receiving her Palme d'Or at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, Triet declared her support for the pension reform protest movement and opposed to President Emmanuel Macron's repression of it. She accused the "neo-liberal government" of fostering cultural commercialization and weakening France's cultural exceptionalism. Triet dedicated her prize to new directors and those facing challenges in the film industry, urging greater chances and support for rising talent. Her remarks linked to debates that took place in France in October 2022 at the Appel aux Etats Generaux (Call for General Assemblies), an exhibition conference, during which some industry insiders blamed French "auteur" filmmaking for dwindling box office and urged for a reduction in French film output. Triet's speech was criticized by Macron's party, right-wing activists and politicians, and by French culture minister Rima Abdul Malak, who said she was "flabbergasted by such unfair comments." Triet's speech received support from left-wing politicians and the SRF, the French directors's guild. According to Variety, several French insiders claimed that Triet was "punished" for criticizing Macron when France's Oscar committee chose to submit The Taste of Things over Anatomy of a Fall to represent the country in the Best International Feature Film category at the 96th Academy Awards. In January 2024, she signed a petition against Javier Milei's reforms on Argentine film schools.
