The curtain has officially dropped on the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Despite an eleventh-hour dress code update barring nudity, volume, and trains, celebrities still managed to pull out all the stops on the Croisette. There was sparkle, grandeur, and—yes—some rule-breaking.
In addition to the last-minute change, we were also keen to see how brands would fare amidst a season of heavy turnover. With the never-ending game of creative director musical chairs going down across the fashion industry, red carpet dressing is in flux, too. Some labels in a transient period, like Balenciaga and Loewe, dressed talent in the works of their outgoing creative directors (Demna and Jonathan Anderson, respectively), while Sarah Burton and Haider Ackermann offered some insight into their modi operandi at Givenchy and Tom Ford. Bottega Veneta, which had a quieter festival, straddled Matthieu Blazy’s telltale style while also offering a sneak preview of Louise Trotter’s vision.
While many celebrities stayed loyal to their contracts (Kristen Stewart and Margaret Qualley at Chanel; Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lawrence at Dior; Emma Stone and Cate Blanchett at Louis Vuitton), others had the freedom to roam. Free agent Elle Fanning wowed in Chanel, Gucci, and Valentino, while Halle Berry, Alba Rohrwacher, and Juliette Binoche—all jury members—turned to a variety of brands.
Below, we examine what brands celebrities wore on the Croisette for the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
Louis Vuitton
It was the usual suspects for Nicolas Ghesquière: Cate Blanchett, Emma Stone, Alana Haim, and Renate Reinsve donned scultural peplums, drop waists, and funky collars.
Dior
Maria Grazia Chiuri leaned hard into the classics, recreating the 1949 Poulenc dress for Jennifer Lawrence and the Junon for Natalie Portman. Still, there were more modern pieces on the carpet, as seen on Jenny Slate, Halle Berry, and Juliette Binoche.
Chanel
The Chanel studio kept busy this Cannes, from Kristen Stewart’s red carpet short suit to Elle Fanning’s pale blue princess dress. Customs aside, Margaret Qualley pulled a spring 1990 haute couture dress, while Halle Berry wore a floral new-season pantsuit.
Gucci
Ahead of Demna’s takeover, the Gucci studio created a swathe of custom gowns, from Elle Fanning’s floral, body-hugging number to Dakota Johnson’s fringed, paiette-covered dress. While they generally kept it neutral and muted, Viola Davis stood out in a flowing yellow dress.
Saint Laurent
While nudity was banned, Anthony Vaccarello’s Cannes looks were nothing if not sexy. Alexander Skarsgård wore thigh-high leather boots, while Bella Hadid’s black dress for Opening Ceremony still featured plenty of skin.
Prada
Mrs. Prada and Raf Simons stayed busy in both the men’s and women’s departments. Charming suiting, colorful satin dresses, and quirky drama were all par for the course.
Valentino
Alessandro Michele kept relatively quiet this time around, but that didn’t stop him from fashioning a plunging champagne dress for Elle Fanning to wear to the premiere of The Mastermind.
Tom Ford
Haider Ackermann is still in the early days of red carpet fashion, and his fringed lilac long-sleeve dress for Julia Garner generated lots of buzz.
Miu Miu
While we generally don’t think of Miu Miu as a menswear brand, A$AP Rocky’s photocall look was just as exciting as the red carpet gowns we saw on Cara Delevingne, Barbara Palvin, and Aja Naomi King.
Balenciaga
Demna may be at Gucci now, but his impact was very much felt on the Croisette. While his idiosyncratic looks were still present (see: Isabelle Huppert in a backwards denim dress), we also saw his more straightforward eveningwear on Juliette Binoche, Alexa Chung, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
Givenchy
Sarah Burton honored Givenchy’s heritage in a vintage recreation of a 1956 haute couture dress for Rooney Mara. But she also showed us her POV, dressing Diane Kruger in a banana yellow coat dress with skewed proportions and an oversized bow to boot.
Alaïa
Pieter Mulier’s Cannes M.O. was sexy and sleek. And who better to model that than Rihanna and Naomi Campbell?
Schiaparelli
Cannes proved a lowkey affair for Daniel Roseberry, but he still managed to show off his range, from a brown satin ribbon dress on Ryan Destiny to an embellished strapless dress on Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu.
Bottega Veneta
Bottega Veneta walked the line between old and new. Vicky Krieps modeled Matthieu Blazy’s vision while Julianne Moore debuted Louise Trotter’s red carpet stylings in a one-shoulder dress.
Loewe
Pom Klementieff made a splash on the red carpet in a sculptural lavender dress with a plunging neckline from Jonathan Anderson’s last collection. He may have moved on to Dior Men’s, but his Loewe made a quiet impact at the festival.
Calvin Klein Collection
One look is all it takes, and Pedro Pascal proved that in this sexy, low-cut shirt.
