Our favourite red carpet looks so far …
Alexa Chung channelled old school Hollywood energy in a black strapless gown with a curved neckline by Balenciaga, and a beauty look inspired by Rita Hayworth. Notably, fashion’s favourite It girl was at Cannes to see Nouvelle Vague, a new feature by Richard Linklater about Jean Luc Godard’s seminal film Breathless. Could there be a chicer setting?
We know a wow dress when we see one. And Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu certainly worked the red carpet in this Schiaparelli black gown with silver tear-drop details.
Juliette Binoche, president of the 78th Cannes Film Festival, worked the butter yellow trend in a two-piece by French fashion designer Jacquemus.
Diane Kruger embraced glitter with a grown-up twist, wearing a dusty blue transparent gown covered in shimmering paillettes and a matching stole with feather detailing.
Supermodel Helena Christensen wore Dolce & Gabbana to attend the premiere of Bono’s documentary, Bono: Stories of Surrender.
Meanwhile, Carla Bruni leaned into the suggested dress code of a little black dress while attending a Women In Motion dinner at Cannes alongside Nicole Kidman, Salma Hayek and Saint Laurent creative director Anthony Vaccarello.
Our favourite look of Cannes so far, Andie MacDowell gave the tuxedo a whole new verve in this tailored two-piece by Mugler.
Meanwhile, Daisy Edgar-Jones continued the black theme, wearing a strapless dress by Gucci with muted sequins that felt very French girl-coded.
Never one to conform to expectations, Isabelle Huppert endorsed red carpet denim by wearing a backwards jacket (yes, really) made from fashion’s favourite fabric á la Balenciaga.
If there was a case for pretty in (soft shades of) pink, Dakota Johnson makes it in this custom Gucci fringed dress that leans into SS25’s penchant for artisanal detailing.
