The 11 most stylish celebrities at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival

She always pulls off a spectacular performance at Cannes, but this year it was Isolde who stood out in her custom interpretation of Christian Dior's “New Look”: a tapered white hourglass jacket, a wide black skirt, ladylike leather gloves and a sharp, structured straw saucer hat.

The 29-year-old French pop singer and model stars in Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis, and by the time it hits theaters she'll already be an unlikely celebrity as one of the stars of C.Anzu's best dressed.

The internet went silent when Hunter Schafer arrived in Cannes in a custom all-white Prada look that was a mix of Audrey Hepburn and Milkmaid. If you're wondering what to wear this summer, this is it. that, The easy and elegant look we've been waiting for.

The scalloped headscarf? The pale blue heels? The pleated ruffles spilling from the bodice? It all perfectly evoked the vibe of balmy summer evenings strolling the beach or leaning out of a convertible window, like the personification of a summer-set French New Wave film.

Michelle Yeoh continues to prove that women over 50 are now the stars of the red carpet. Her custom Bottega look made her look like a very colorful swan stalking the runway with ease. strictBut that doesn't mean the dresses had to be stiff: every step was pure movement, each piece of clothing flowing like a feather.

In Cannes, Naomi Campbell wore a Chanel Spring/Summer 1997 Haute Couture dress that she had already worn on the runway 27 years earlier. The model loves to reference herself, and we all would, too.

One of the most talked about looks of the entire festival was Cate Blanchett in a Jean Paul Gaultier gown by Haider Ackermann, which was slightly altered to feature a deeper green interior flowing down the back, pearls across the shoulders, and a pale pink that was almost white running down the back.

Last year, Rauda Mohamed made waves when she showed up to Cannes dressed as the “Scorched Bride” from Robert Wang's Spring/Summer 2023 Couture collection. This year, it was her red, custom Cecilie Bratsberg Meri look that made waves, referencing Christian Dior's Autumn/Winter 1954 “Zémir” ensemble, currently on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Mohamed wrote on Instagram, “If Christian Dior were alive today, I would definitely have been his muse,” and she's right.

Throughout her career, Mrs. Prada has perfected the look of imperfection on the runway, and Diana Kruger's wrinkled green Prada gown shows exactly why it looks even better on the red carpet. There is a life to this look that makes the dress come alive; each wrinkle is like a memory imprinted on the dress, telling a story of where it's been and where it's going to go.

Some might say that Dilara Findikoglu's recent London show, billed as a satanic orgy in a church or a mass ritual to end toxic masculinity, was too trippy for the red carpet, but they're dead wrong, as celebrities like Chloe Sevigny, who wore her dress to the Met Gala, and Mariacarla Boscono, who came to Cannes in a feathered black dress paired with leather opera gloves and lace-up pumps, prove.

There's a difference between cool and Balenciaga cool (though the latter is sadly impossible for anyone other than Huppert): the textured gown resembles a fluffy bathrobe, and the accessories, including nude heels and chunky black sunglasses, give the impression that she could just slip it on and walk out the door, sporting a look that's impossible to pull off.

Maybe it's because a bohemian aesthetic is slowly creeping into the zeitgeist, or maybe it's just that Sienna Miller is looking great in Chloé's ethereal chiffon and ruffle dresses, but either way, we're longing for the freedom of flowing, sheer, tiered dresses that evoke the best moments of the 2010s.

When Bella Hadid was first spotted at Cannes this year, we all breathed a collective sigh of relief. The queen of the film festival red carpet is back, and she's proven that no one does it better than her. From a Michael & Housh dress to a sheer Saint Laurent gown, it's impossible to pick a favorite. But we'll always be fascinated by Hadid's ability to pull off the most awe-inspiring looks from the most coveted archives.

for L'amour Oeuf For the premiere, she wore the same Versace dress she wore on the Spring 2001 couture runway, and like the Fall 2003 lace-up Versace dress she wore to last year's festival, this vintage Versace is sure to live on in the Cannes Film Festival history books and, of course, on best-dressed lists.
