Forget the Oscars and the Met Gala. The Cannes International Film Festival is the epitome of glamour. The mantra “Go big or go home” was practically coined for the annual star-studded gathering. Although the 2020 edition was canceled due to the health crisis, last year it returned on a much smaller scale. (Although Bella Hadid still manged to deliver two amazing looks.) The good news? This week the festival returns, hopefully with a bang. So we decided to reflect back on the greatest looks ever to hit the French Riviera before the 2022 festivities get underway.

We’re talking epic feathered trains, sculpted skirts, decadent embroidery and eye-catching embellished bodices. And let’s not forget all the dazzling jewelry. Fashion institutions Stéphane Rolland, Ralph & Russo, Atelier Versace, Gucci and Jean Paul Gaultier are all well-represented as their pieces are often designed for a grand stage like the Cannes International Film Festival. From A-list actresses to an iconic princess, these looks are emblazoned into our memories as some of the best, not just of Cannes, but of all time.

Ready to take a look back through time? Then scroll down to relive the most breathtaking looks to ever grace the festival’s red carpet.

Since this year’s Met Gala is set for Monday, we can’t help but reflect on the past and all the delicious looks that the gala has produced over the years. From high-wattage couture creations to out-of-the-box risqué looks that may have taken some time to truly appreciate, fashion’s equivalent of the Oscars never disappoints. Think multicolored feathers, body armor-like metallics, borderline obsessive sheer accents and enough embellishments to shake a very stylish stick at. A few well-known fashion mavens scored multiple spots on this list for obvious reasons.

We’re sure everyone has their respective favorites, but there’s no denying that these stars made a sartorial impact. Scroll down to relive the Met Gala’s top style moments.

Being on the red carpet for any event is the biggest moment for any celebrity since all eyes are on them. Usually celebrities wear the latest styles from famous fashion designers. But that wasn’t always the case with actress Blake Lively. 

In an interview with InStyle, Lively confessed that she used to wear popular casual brand Forever 21 on the red carpet, saying, “I wore Forever 21 much longer than I admitted. I just started saying it was vintage because I was so shamed for it.”

The actress is now routinely decked out in fabulous gowns and suits from luxury brands, like Ralph Lauren, Versace and Chanel. Lively also attributes her current sense of style to her mom and her role in Gossip Girl: “Well, everything I know about fashion is from my mama. She’s so creative and expressive in her choices. But then being on the show, I learned so much from the incredible costume designer Eric Daman. I also figured out what I was comfortable with.”

Sure, wearing Forever 21 is a big fashion no-no that even the late Joan Rivers would frown upon. But Lively can pretty much wear anything on and off the red carpet and make it look stylish.

It’s been a big year for celebrities and fashion. Rihanna launched her inclusive lingerie brand Savage x Fenty, Serena Williams caused a stir with her Off White x Nike tennis outfit and all eyes were on everything Meghan Markle wore this year. Now, global fashion search platform Lyst has tracked more than 100 million searches this year from 80 million shoppers all over the world, along with social media metrics to deliver The Year in Fashion Report, released today. In addition to the top products and fashion trends of the year, the report lists the top 10 celebrity fashion influencers of 2018. The celebs that made the list are hardly surprising to anyone on Instagram, but it’s worth noting who made the biggest impact this year. Without further ado, they are as follows:

Glitzy dresses and see-through gowns were both trending at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards with varying levels of success. Stars like Jennifer Lopez, Karlie Kloss and Olivia Munn shined in sparkling pieces, while Tiffany Haddish, Shanina Shaik and Rita Ora played a little peekaboo. Black and white reigned supreme, but color still found its way to the red pink carpet with one dynamic dress filling the quota all on its own. The beauty looks were also noteworthy with exaggerated eyeshadow, a bounty of bangs and eye-catching red lips.

Ever since Blake Lively appeared on our TV screens way back in 2007, starring in the hit show Gossip Girl, we’ve become accustomed to the actress covering just about every major fashion magazine while rarely taking a bad photograph. She’s landed issues of Vogue, Allure, Marie Claire and now, after a little over a year’s hiatus at the newsstand, Blake is back on the circuit, gracing the cover of US Glamour‘s September issue. Photographed by Nathaniel Goldberg, the blonde beauty wears Saint Laurent, making for a stark contrast between last month’s edgy and unconventional Cara Delevingne cover shoot.

Our forums complained that Glamour went a little too hard on the Photoshop this month, though. “She looks airbrushed to death in order to look like a young Leonardo DiCaprio in drag. What’s happening here?” quizzed a startled mistress_f upon checking out the cover.

“The Photoshop is crazy! So are the fonts,” wrote Urban Stylin.

“She literally looks like she just woke up a second ago from a sick day nap and they tried to Photoshop her to look better. So bad,” described t-rex.

Narcyza couldn’t believe her eyes either, writing, “Awful. Glamour is so bad now!”

“Awful! I love her but this is so weird…” commented forum member Millie Backer.

“Not the best shot of Blake, who is so gorgeous! Glamour has been hot and cold all year with their cover photos. Love all the cover subjects, but cover wise they have been not killing it! I think the cropping throws me off,” expressed RanThe.

Also unafraid to call Glamour out on its mishap was Benn98. “Last time I checked Glamour was a magazine for grown women, so why does the art direction look like something which belongs on Seventeen? Don’t get it at all,” he stated.
