We’re the first to admit that the fashion at the 2021 Cannes International Film Festival was a little lacking. Perhaps that’s because it was missing some of its most stylish regulars. But there were still several dramatic moments and gowns.
Bella Hadid managed to wow twice. First in a vintage and slightly altered Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture creation. The model really turned heads, however, in a recently debuted Schiaparelli Fall 2021 Haute Couture stunner. Jessica Chastain also gave us two winning looks. As did Sharon Stone and Gemma Chan.
The award for most daring red carpet look? Why that goes to Tilda Swinton, of course. The actress and living fashion legend hit the premiere of The French Dispatch in a colorful Haider Ackermann ensemble. (Confession: We’re more excited about Tilda and Haider’s reunion than Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck getting back together.)
