The Best-Dressed Stars at This Year’s Cannes Film Festival

The 75th Cannes Film Festival has begun, with stars from every corner of the world descending on the red carpet at the Palais de Festivals this week.

A raft of star-studded premieres for upcoming films are set to take place over the 11-day festival, including Top Gun: Maverick, starring Tom Cruise who is returning to the festival for the first time in 30 years, and the biopic Elvis starring Austin Butler.

The event was cancelled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. It went ahead in 2021, but was subject to strict health restrictions – however, this year’s opening ceremony returned to its full glamorous glory once again.

Hollywood A-listers including Lashana Lynch, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Eva Longoria and Forest Whittaker have been photographed on the red carpet, alongside supermodel Adriana Lima and Bollywood royalty Deepika Pudakone.

These are the best looks from the 75th Cannes Film Festival red carpet:

The model, who is currently expecting her third child, wore a full-length Balmain gown crafted from black fabric that wrapped around her torso, exposing her growing stomach.

Katherine Langford

Katherine Langford made a dramatic entrance in a full fuchsia pink look from Valentino’s fall/winter 2022 collection.
