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.

Nina Garcia continues to keep up ELLE‘s tradition of issues dedicated to women. Now the magazine’s annual Women in Hollywood edition makes a grand return for 2021 following last year’s hiatus in favor of a Kamala Harris cover. This year’s lineup of A-list talent includes Angelina Jolie, Gemma Chan, Lauren Ridloff, Salma Hayek, Rita Moreno, Halle Berry, Jennifer Hudson, Jodie Comer along with Gal Gadot. The nine actresses each front solo covers complete with styling from Elizabeth Stewart and photography by Greg Williams for the November 2021 offering of ELLE.

Per usual with multiple covers, only a select few stood out. “Angelina doesn’t appear on covers. She blesses them,” heralded Horizontina.

“Only Angelina Jolie’s cover is working and it’s miles better than the other ones,” proclaimed VogueGirl8910.

“Angelina and Jodie for me,” stated kokobombon.

“Angelina is the clear standout for me, as always, and I’ll never complain about seeing Gemma…” declared [Piece Of Me].

“Angelina, Jodie and Gal are my favorites. Shame there isn’t a group shot a la Vanity Fair,” said WAVES.

“This photography is…not good. So amateurish, like what the hell is this lighting? Gemma’s cover is the only decent one,” Marc10 pointed out.

KINGofVERSAILLES was in the same frame of mind: “So they assemble this massive group, a truly impressive lineup of talented and beautiful women…and this is what they come up with? Astounding what passes for cover-worthy photography these days.”

“Not the worst set of covers I’ve come across, but undoubtedly could’ve been better and I detest how incoherent they are alongside one another, especially when only one photographer and stylist are involved,” critiqued vogue28.

There was a real red carpet at the 2021 Oscars. Though it wasn’t as grand as previous years. (For obvious reasons.) But there were still lots of stars and gorgeous gowns to fawn over. And several trends reigned supreme.

First, there were the golden looks as striking as the Oscar statuette. Carey Mulligan wowed in a glistening Valentino haute couture creation. Andra Day’s sparkling Vera Wang made a statement. She even flashed some strategic skin, another trend.

White and red were also favored. Amanda Seyfried’s crimson Armani Privé gown served plenty of Old Hollywood glamour. Reese Witherspoon’s pleated Christian Dior featured a dynamic neckline. Meanwhile, Viola Davis’ custom Alexander McQueen white hot dress boasted an intricate bodice.

Here are all the red carpet highlights from the 2021 Oscars.

If you’re noticing a lot of black on tonight’s Golden Globe Awards red carpet, it’s not a trend. At least not one motivated by fashion. Attendees are wearing black to show their support for the Time’s Up initiative started to bring attention to sexual harassment in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal (and the numerous scandals that followed). The movement is also raising funds to provide “subsidized legal support to those who have experienced sexual harassment, assault, or abuse in the workplace.” Several actresses are also walking the red carpet with noted women’s rights activists to make an even louder statement on the red carpet.

Celebs gave us quite a scare this Halloween. From plastic surgery gone horribly wrong to a zombie rocking the sheer dress trend to Gwyneth Paltrow finally answering the age-old question from Se7en, it was all downright creepy…and a bit funny. We were also seeing double: Eleven came in multitudes and there were double doses of Selena Quintanilla, Cruella de Vil and Cher. And what would Halloween be without a little controversy? Kim Kardashian’s Cher and Madonna impressions went over pretty well (the former even getting a shout-out from the icon herself), but Kim’s Aaliyah getup? Not so much. For a real treat, check out the best celeb Halloween costumes from 2017 above.
