All The Best 2026 Cannes Film Festival Looks

The Cannes Film Festival has just kicked off, and we already have some thoughts. The festival for highlighting and jump-starting the careers of auteur, independent, and international directors, premiering Oscar worthy films and, of course, for the celebrity appearances and luxury fashion moments.

While the festival, very much to our dismay, recently banned naked dresses (the biggest power move of a trend), the looks already trickling in are restoring us with hope. The French Riviera calls for a very distinct sense of fashion: glamorous, luxury resort, and, because of the strict formal guidelines, creativity is necessary to turn a noteworthy look.

So far, we've been blessed with Ruth Negga in Celine, Demi Moore affirming that the polka dot trend is here to stay, and Diane Kruger inspiring our future travel looks—because at Cannes, the travel and arrival looks are nearly as important (and photographed) as the red carpet looks.

Ahead, the 2026 Cannes Festival Looks restoring our hope, inspiring us, and catching our eyes.

Demi Moore

The polka dot trend will never die—and Demi Moore knows that. For the Cannes Film Festival jury photo-call, Moore arrived in a fall 2026 Jacquemus strapless dress covered in raised dots of various colors. Plus, a matching bag!

For the Cannes Film Festival opening ceremony, Moore wore a custom Jacquemus gown: a sculptural bustier dress crafted out of sequins with a modest train.

Ruth Negga

For the first day of the Cannes Film Festival, actress Ruth Negga and stylist Karla Welch pulled from Michael Rider's Celine. The look consisted of a silky off white pant and top set featuring the most perfect stitching and a neck-tie detail—and, both blew in the wind in the most ethereal manner.

Diane Kruger

Whether by boat or by plane, arrivals are a major part of the Cannes Film Festival. And, we're always welcome to airport style inspiration. Diane Kruger touched down in Cannes in a baggy white t-shirt, baggy high-waisted jeans, slouchy suede boots, and a baseball cap.

Maura Higgins

Maura Higgins made her first Cannes appearance in vintage Thierry Mugler—and we would expect no less. The two-piece jacket and skirt was white, with aquamarine and magenta detailing, featured distinct broad shoulders, and was complete with a tie detail at the waist.
