The 2019 amfAR Gala Cannes featured the usual array of models, actresses and musicians. But this year, the annual gala made headlines because it served as the official launch of the new Giambattista Valli x H&M collection. Everyone from Kendall Jenner to H.E.R. was outfitted in the tulle-focused collab, which partially drops tomorrow (the full collection won’t be available until November 7).
Those not on promotional duty embraced some OTT silhouettes. Dua Lipa stood out in a fiery Valentino haute couture gown and Sara Sampaio’s feathered Armani Privé also made quite a statement. And the naked dress is still going strong with several peekaboo pieces popping up on the gray carpet.
Check out the slideshow above to see who wore what at the gala.
