I didn’t realise quite how much I had missed the high octane glamour of the red carpet until last night’s Cannes Film Festival arrivals. Bella Hadid wowed the masked crowd in her Haute Couture Jean Paul Gaultier look, a stunning monochrome gown that was absolute perfection from its tulle halterneck right down to its fringed tail—a real wow moment, and yet so refine and restrained too. You can see it from every angle below.
Not only did the supermodel bring her A game but a line-up of actresses clearly enjoyed this opportunity to dress up once more. Jessica Chastain looked like a gothic beauty in black chiffon, Helen Mirren a vision in canary yellow (and she wasn’t the only star to choose this striking shade), Maggie Gyllenhaal was as understatedly glam as always in a series of chic Celine looks, while Marion Cottilard challenged us all to get into the idea of cycling shorts with booties. It’s 2021, anything can happen! From daytime events to Nice airport arrivals, and of course all of the most incredible red carpet moments, these are the Cannes outfits we’ve loved the most so far. Continue to check back as we’ll update this gallery for the duration of the festival.
