The Most Glamorous Red Carpet Looks From the Cannes Film Festival So Far

The Cannes Film Festival is always the most glamorous fortnight of the year, as it sees all of the powerhouses in Hollywood unite on the French Riviera for premiere after premiere after premiere (with a yacht party thrown in in-between). We are only three premieres in, and as expected, couture houses have already created some of the most spectacular gowns for this historic red carpet.

This year, Elle Fanning is one of the jurors at the festival, and she is one of those stars who always embraces the fun of the red carpet with her long-standing relationship with power stylist Samantha McMillen. For her first premiere on the schedule, Fanning wore a blush gown by Gucci with a dramatic cape and a purple floral embellishment at the waist. For the premiere of Les Miserables, she wore a Valentino Haute Couture pink floral gown with delicate daisies in her hair, making her look like a fairytale princess. 

Julianne Moore also has had several fabulous moments on the Cannes red carpet so far, in a green off-the-shoulder sweeping gown by Christian Dior, a silver sequin gown by Givenchy with a pink sweeping cape and a Louis Vuitton black gown with a mini leather embroidered cape. Other stars in attendance this year include Bella Hadid, who wore a white sheer tulle Christian Dior gown to the premiere of Rocketman and Selena Gomez who wore a crop top and high-waisted skirt. 

We are also keeping a close eye on the arrivals hall at Nice airport this week, as celebrities arrive in the Riviera prepared to be photographed— meaning this has become as much a fashion parade as the photo calls on the Croisette and the major premieres.
