The 2024 Cannes Film Festival Has Officially Started & The Celeb Looks Are Major
Bella at Cannes? Yes, please.
May is one of the most jam-packed months for the celebrity set. The month starts out with the Met Gala, a.k.a. the Super Bowl of fashion, which sets the sartorial tone for future fêtes. Then, there’s a slew of designer Cruise shows to attend (Gucci just hosted Kate Moss, Dua Lipa, and Daisy Edgar Jones in London). And of course, who could forget the iconic Cannes Film Festival? Staying true to tradition, this year’s 77th Annual Cannes Film Festival runs for two weeks (from May 14 to the 25th, to be exact), with each day delivering an assortment of stellar French Riviera-inspired looks from the A-list guests. To no surprise, the latest invitation-only soirée is off to a particularly elegant start.
The first day of festivities was marked by appearances from Meryl Streep, Anya Taylor-Joy, Greta Gerwig, and Lily Gladstone, all of whom served up endless summer style inspo. Instead of promoting a new film, Streep is in town to receive an honorary Palme d’Or — the most-esteemed prize awarded at the festival. The Devil Wears Prada alum dressed to impress in a white Michael Kors Collection suit paired with a classic pinstripe button-down. Another star to stun in an elevated white number? Gladstone and their buttoned linen midi dress. Celebs also styled a few notable fresh-off-the-runway designs for their first Cannes ‘fit, including Gerwig who turned heads in a corseted pinstripe maxi dress courtesy of Maison Margiela Spring 2024 Couture.
And those were just the opening day ensembles. Keep scrolling for the best celebrity looks from the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, and be sure to bookmark this page as we’ll be updating it until May 25.
Bella Hadid
For her third and final look of the day, Hadid went all out in a black corseted gown courtesy of Versace Couture Spring/Summer 2001. She added some bling to her halter-neck style via dangly earrings from Chopard.
For a quick mid-day outing, Hadid styled an unreleased asymmetrical Jacquemus LWD and a Tiffany blue handbag from the atelier’s upcoming collection. You can see her full ensemble on the catwalk at the next Jacquemus runway show on June 10.
A few hours earlier that same afternoon, Hadid enjoyed the gorgeous weather in an archival Keffiyeh dress circa 2001 from Iranian-American designer, Hushidar Mortezaie.
Elsa Hosk
At the 30th annual amfAR Cannes Gala on Thursday, Hosk posed in a striking white gown topped with extravagant black feathers.

Palvin’s coral chiffon gown was quite a colorful detour from the model’s penchant for neutrals.
Paris Jackson
Michael Jackson’s daughter also attended the amfAR gala in an edgy high-low gown paired with velvet opera gloves.
Winnie Harlow
Harlow looked ultra-dreamy in an off-the-shoulder beige gown, but it was her thigh-high slit that added a touch of sauciness.

At a mid-morning photo call for The Shrouds, Kruger shimmered in a strapless aquamarine midi dress and statement white sunglasses.

Bella Hadid
Fans haven’t seen Hadid on a red carpet in awhile (it’s been almost two years). So, to celebrate her grand return, the multi-hyphenate pulled out all the stops in a semi-sheer Saint Laurent midi dress originally seen on the Fall/Winter 2024 runway.
Demi Moore
Moore looked oh-so polished in a polka-dot quilted dress coupled with matching pointy pumps.

Uma Thurman
Thurman brought the drama to the Saturday evening circuit in a custom set from Burberry, which featured a satin ivory gown and an extravagant yellow trench coat.
Cate Blanchett

Blanchett took the crown for most sparkle-heavy attire in a custom Louis Vuitton gold gown.
Zoe Saldaña
Sandaña tapped into the bow trend with a black strapless Saint Laurent dress topped with rose ribbons that trailed behind her as she walked.
Selena Gomez
Before earning a nine-minute standing ovation for her performance in Emilia Perez, Gomez posed for photographers in a black and white Saint Laurent dress alongside jaw-dropping jewelry from Bulgari.

The day after Schafer styled a timeless headscarf while out and about in Cannes, she paired a similar headpiece with a Prada LWD at the Kinds of Kindness photocall.

Gomez looked especially ready for the beach in a knit skirt set from Self-Portrait alongside pointy Rogier Vivier kitten heels. The best part? Her pale yellow and white top-handle bag from Aspinal of London is still available to shop.

Naomi Campbell
Marking her second applause-worthy moment of Wednesday, Campbell attended a BMW bash in a custom Dolce & Gabbana army green look, complete with a leather biker jacket on top.
Campbell and her stylist, Law Roach, made headlines with this impressive archival pull. The supermodel posed ahead of the Furiosa screening in a vintage sequin gown from the Chanel Fall 1996 Couture collection — a Karl Lagerfield creation that Campbell herself debuted on the runway 27 years ago.
Anya Taylor-Joy
Taylor-Joy closed out her second night at Cannes in an LBD from Dior Pre-Fall 2024. She accessorized with sky-high Jimmy Choo pumps as well as a statement necklace and matching diamond earrings from Tiffany & Co.
In a charming detour from her futuristic method dressing for Furiosa, Taylor-Joy gave off major princess vibes in a custom shimmery strapless gown from Dior.
Greta Gerwig
Gerwig’s crimson Armani Privé gown was just as saucy as it was sophisticated.
Sabrina Elba
The model opted for a white and black rhinestone-embellished gown from Fendi, with notable cut-outs at the front of the bodice and the back.
Meryl Streep
On May 15, Streep took a step back from her penchant for elevated neutrals and instead wore an all-black co-ord. Her button-down featured a subtle tropical print while her bottoms were plain and wide-legged.
Léa Seydoux
The Dune: Part Two star gave the capri resurgence her stamp of approval in a matching set from Louis Vuitton.
Meryl Streep
Streep looked undeniably timeless in a white silk floor-length dress from Dior Haute Couture. For a touch of added luxury, she carried a coordinating slim clutch.

The evening before her collaboration with Canada Goose dropped, Fonda walked the Cannes red carpet in a blazer-esque jumpsuit from Elie Saab Pre-Fall 2019 runway.
Lily Gladstone
Gladstone was one of the first A-listers to establish a sparkle-heavy dress code at the Tuesday afternoon screening of Le Deuxième Acte. The Killers Of The Flower Moon star arrived in a plunging blue sequin gown from Gucci.
Léa Seydoux
The shimmer streak continued with Seydoux and her custom silver and blue sequin dress from Louis Vuitton. She matched the pops of blue in her off-the-shoulder gown to her sapphire and diamond choker necklace.

The Barbie director stunned in a moody, anti-Barbie number — a plunging ruby sequin gown which was custom-made for her by Saint Laurent.
Heidi Klum
Klum was a vision of Old Hollywood glamour in a voluminous ruby gown from Saiid Kobeisy SS24 Couture alongside sparkly gold pointy pumps.
Meryl Streep
The Palme d’Or honoree marked her first Cannes appearance since 1989 in a white blazer and matching trousers from Michael Kors Collection. She leaned even further into the festival’s signature French Riviera aesthetic by layering a blue and white pinstripe button-down underneath. Her classic accessories included a beige sun hat, metallic pointy pumps, and striking sunglasses.
Lily Gladstone
Gladstone, one of the star-studded members of the Cannes jury, arrived at a photo call in a white linen midi dress coupled with a merlot red monogrammed belt and matching chunky loafers, both from Gucci.
Greta Gerwig
The President of the Jury wore a look befitting of her new lavish title — a baby blue pinstripe midi dress sourced from the viral Maison Margiela Spring 2024 Couture collection. Under her corseted midi peeped a white sky-high pair of Christian Louboutin for Maison Margiela pumps, complete with the designer’s signature Tabi split-toe silhouette.
The evening prior, Gerwig attended a pre-festival dinner with her fellow jury members, for which she sourced another new designer number — a taupe midi dress seen on the catwalk at Carven Fall/Winter 2024. The rest of her OOTD felt just as posh, as it featured Amina Muaddi Mary Jane heels and a mini Chanel top-handle bag.
Anya Taylor-Joy
Taylor-Joy was spotted leaving her five-star hotel, the Hotel Martinez, on Tuesday in an ivory semi-sheer gown and a sleek straw hat, both from Jacquemus, as well as lace-up pumps from Femme.
Taylor-Joy joined Gerwig at the pre-festival dinner the night before in a stunning orange maxi dress from Atlein Spring 2024. Her oversized straw Jacquemus hat and coordinating Jimmy Choo sandals gave off major Old Hollywood vibes, but the cherry on top was her bold red lip.
Just minutes after touching down in France, Taylor-Joy stepped out in her first must-copy co-ord of her trip, which featured a bow print Damson Madder blouse and a button-down denim skirt from the AG Jeans collaboration with Alexa Chung. On the accessories front, she went with metallic Maison Margiela pumps, Bottega Veneta cat-eye sunglasses, and the sold-out Dior Diorstar Callisto Bag — a fitting selection for the global brand ambassador.
