The Cannes Film Festival isn’t only a showcase for the world’s finest films, but also an excellent platform to see the best gowns thanks to the bevy of A-list actresses who ascend the Festival Palace’s grand staircase. The Red carpet at Cannes yesterday was swarming with enviable fashion and couture. Stars dressed to the nines turned out clad in everything from couture evening gowns to chic resort dresses. My personal favourite was Rachel McAdams, she looked absolutely resplendent in a red lace vintage Marchesa. I love the ‘Old Hollywood’ wavy hairstyle as well.
Harper’s Bazaar have thrown together a slide of Cannes pictures through the years covering every notable fashion icon from Grace Kelly to latin beauty, Sophia Loren. Savour the memories here.
