The longtime model, who joined several attendees like jury member Demi Moore for the premiere of “La Venus Electrique,” wore a strapless peach gown courtesy of the Lebanese designer.
The dress was crafted with a structured bodice, with a plunging neckline, cinched waist and slightly emphasized hips to underscore the proportional play of the dress. A column gown provided the main body of the gown.

At the back waist of the dress, fabric that matched the body of the dress flowed behind Klum, giving the look an added touch of drama and softer, flowing element to contrast the structure of the dress’ body.
The base of the Elie Saab gown neckline featured a pink floral appliqué. The large floral included a bevy of petals with a center in a burst of yellow tone. Accents of lilacs and some speckled greens were featured behind the appliqué too, emphasizing the whimsy of Klum’s attire.

Elie Saab is a favorite designer of Klum, and she’s worn other pieces from the couturier at previous editions of the Cannes Film Festival.
Last year’s pink number that Klum styled included a long train and featured floral inspiration with a series of pink petals creating the body and train of the dress. The look hailed from the designer’s 1001 Seasons collection.
