The Cannes Film Festival is one of most prestigious events on the cultural calendar, with the 2023 event premiering some of the most-discussed films and shows of the year including Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City, HBO’s controversial The Idol, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon and Pedro Almodóvar’s Saint Laurent costumed short film, Strange Way of Life.
It also plays host to memorable displays of red carpet fashion, with a galaxy of A-list stars parading some show-stopping suits, gowns and jewels.
Iconic Cannes fashion moments from days of yore include Madonna tearing off her pink satin wrap coat in 1991 to reveal her Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra, Princess Diana in that showstopping powder blue Catherine Walker dress in 1987 and a heavily pregnant Angeline Jolie walking the red carpet in a Max Azria olive green maternity gown in 2008.
Other classic Cannes style moments that are still endlessly referenced include Brigitte Bardot running along the beach in a little black dress in 1956 and Catherine Deneuve in a striped sequin dress by Yves Saint Laurent in 1966.
More recently, the Croisette in Cannes has been a hotbed of fashion controversy, with attempts to enforce what many consider antiquated and binary dress codes, including an early ‘heels only’ rule for women, dominating headlines.
This year, many attendees are challenging these archaic edicts with displays of how glamorous the full spectrum of fashion choices can be.
Jennifer Lawrence looked every part a Hollywood starlet in a crimson Christian Dior couture gown, despite the fact she was wearing flip-flops underneath (she had worn heels on the red carpet earlier, changing into the fancy jandals later on).
That, and a whole cast of super glamorous Cannes looks, below.
