Cannes 2025: Best Red Carpet Looks and New Dress Code
Cannes Film Festival 2025 Red Carpet: Fashion Rules & Star Style Wins
The Cannes Film Festival 2025 red carpet lit up with celebrity glamour—even under a brand-new, strict dress code that bans transparent outfits, extreme nudity, and long, trailing gowns. Despite these rules, many stars found ways to shine with bold, creative fashion choices.
Top Celebrity Fashion Moments
Eva Longoria turned heads in multiple outfits, including:
A glittery strapless gown by Tamara Ralph, with shiny metallic pieces and velvet detail
A teal Elie Saab sequined gown
A sparkly glass dress by Zair Mur
Araya Alberta Hargate dazzled in a crystal-covered snake-print bodice and a pink glittering skirt, finished with a diamond leaf necklace.
Isabeli Fontana glowed in a metallic Nicolas Jebran gown with a thigh-high slit and turquoise stones.
Irina Shayk went playful in a black Armani Privé polka-dot dress with puffed sleeves. While the dress impressed, her over-the-top hairstyle was seen as distracting.
Heidi Klum broke dress code rules in a bold pink Elie Saab gown with a dramatic train, turning heads on the Cannes 2025 red carpet.
Kristen Stewart broke tradition in the best way, wearing tailored short suits. Highlights included:
A pink suit with a soft tulle skirt
A white suit with a baseball cap and micro tie
Jeremy Strong, part of this year’s jury, stood out with his clean and classy style—rocking neutral-toned suits in shades of beige, blush pink.
Diane Kruger made a fashion statement with a bold yellow Givenchy coat-dress, standing out for its unique silhouette.
Outfits That Missed the Mark
Bella Hadid, often a red carpet hit, wore a black Saint Laurent dress with a dramatic deep V neckline and crisscross back. Despite emerald Chopard earrings, the outfit felt awkward and overdone.
Halle Berry, originally set to wear a voluminous Gaurav Gupta gown, had to switch last minute due to the dress code. Her backup: a loose black-and-white Jacquemus striped dress, which many felt drowned her frame.
Best Dressed Men on the Carpet
Tom Cruise stood out with a stylish maroon knit polo and matching pants, accessorized with brown dress shoes and dark sunglasses. His look was polished yet edgy.
