Some fashion fans stand by the Met Gala and the Oscars as the number one fashion event of the year. But for me, the Cannes Film Festival trumps both of those every year. With a 10-day itinerary and an unparalleled stylish backdrop on the French Riviera, this iconic film festival is a breeding ground for impeccable style and never disappoints.
I'm always fascinated by the Cannes red carpet style, but it's the off-duty style that really captures my attention. As temperatures rise across Europe, May events feel like the start of the summer season and provide a healthy dose of summer styling inspiration. Looking for off-time inspiration, I've already found three denim trends supported by established styles in recent days.
From denim miniskirts to fresh colors, check out the three denim trends worn by the most stylish celebrities in Cannes this week.
3 denim trends Cannes celebrities are championing right now
1. White jeans

Style notes: I always go back to white jeans during spring and early summer. Bright shades are so easy to style in a capsule wardrobe and give all of my summer looks a breath of fresh air and a crisp, bright touch. Inspired by Romee Strijd's chic white jeans and cowboy boots combo (pictured above), I plan on copying this style soon.

Style notes: Denim midi skirts are trending right now, but I always return to more playful mini styles to form the basis of my best summer looks. Inspired by Anya Taylor-Joy's denim skirt and collared blouse combo, I'll be shopping my wardrobe to copy this look for summer.

Style notes: Fresher than their indigo sister, light-wash jeans are just as versatile as your favorite mid-wash and dark-wash jeans, but with a lighter, summery edge. I like to anchor bright hues with rich burgundy and navy shades, but Taylor Hill's butter yellow combination reminds me that there are few colors that don't go well with light blue.

Massimo Dutti
Straight-fit high-waisted jeans light blue
Straight-leg jeans are a worthy investment that will never go out of style.
