The renowned Cannes Film Festival has concluded its 79th annual program, once again catching the attention of creatives around the world. Join us as we look back at some of the most astounding fashion moments from the last week. 

Peggy Gou

Starting with musician Peggy Gou, she arrived at The Man I Love screening adorned in an intricately embellished black halter-neck gown from the Roberto Cavalli Spring/Summer 2012 collection. The arrangement of embroidery, sequins, and paillettes forms a baroque-inspired motif over the dress.

Helena Christensen also dressed in Roberto Cavalli. At the Knights of Charity Gala, she who wore a Chantilly lace evening gown from the Fall/Winter 2026-27 Collection. The gown boasts chiffon embroidery, satin chiffon volants, and a soleil pleating, all coming together to create an enchanting look for the model.

Contrasting this delicate look,  Russell also attended the Hope photocall in a Schiaparelli black gown. The alluring look had a ‘tree-bark’ effect, draping sleeves, and was paired with black oval sunglasses.

Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett is another proponent of ageless fashion. At the premiere of Garance, the two-time Oscar-winning actress arrived in a backless floral Givenchy gown. The gown is a well-balanced tapestry of embroidery, paint and fringe.

Maika Monroe

Moving on to the Victorian Psycho photocall, Mikael Monroe turned up in a sculpted white floral dress underneath a layer of blue organza. Monroe was the perfect model for McQueen to showcase their Autumn/Winter 26 collection.

Charlotte Le Bon

Charlotte Le Bon’s look was strong, androgynous, and one of my personal favourites. The Canadian actress and director arrived at the Full Phil premiere clad in a 3-piece Dior Men’s suit.
