All The Best 2026 Cannes Film Festival Looks

The Cannes Film Festival kicked off last week and the looks just keep pouring in. The festival is known 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—and included some brave souls defying the newly implemented rule. 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 Bella Hadid in custom Prada, Isabelle Huppert in Gucci, Riley Keough in sheer Chanel, 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.

Taylor Russell

For the Hope photocall, Taylor Russell wore a black long-sleeve dress with a turtleneck from Daniel Roseberry's Fall/Winter 2026 Schiaparelli collection.

Chiara Ferragni

For a day out in Cannes, Italian influencer Chiara Ferragni wore a two piece set by Roberto Cavalli.

Kristen Stewart

For the premiere of her new film Full Phil, Kristen Stewart wore a Chanel gown made entirely of black and red beaded mesh.

The naked-dress defiance continues! For the Full Phil photocall, Stewart wore a sheer white skirt suit from Chanel's Spring 2026 Haute Couture collection.

Cate Blanchett

For the Garance screening, Cate Blanchett wore a Givenchy Fall/Winter 2026 by Sarah Burton gown that dripped in satin fringe. Inpsired the work of Filipino artist Olan Ventura, the dress also featured beautiful floral embroidery, 3D elements, and details reminiscent of wet paintings.

Liu Wen

For the Garance screening, model Liu Wen wore a dress from Chanel's Fall 2026 collection: a pink number with feathers, lace, and floral embellishments.

Colman Domingo

For the Garance screening, fashion icon Colman Domingo wore a dramatic purple diamond encrusted silk shirt with a train by Valentino. He paired the statement top with perfectly tailored pinstriped pants and a Boucheron brooch.

Bella Hadid

For the screening of Garance, Bella Hadid opted for a custom Prada strapless satin column dress. The dress featured an embellished bust and a matching wrap shrug casually yet elegantly falling off her shoulders.

Isabelle Huppert

In lieu of Balenciaga, actress and icon Isabelle Huppert went with Gucci for Histoires Parallèles premiere. The red gown was accessorized with matching opera gloves.

Sara Sampaio

For the Fatherland premiere, model Sara Sampaio opted for custom Miu Miu. The gown in question was an off-white, featured tiers of pleats and ruffles, and featured exposed corset detailing at the bodice.

Sandra Hüller

For the premiere of her film Fatherland, actress Sandra Hüller in what would be a rather simple black Chanel column dress—if not for the dramatic, voluminous feather jacket, that is.

Riley Keough

We told you that thong heels were the it-girl shoe of the season! Further proven by Riley Keough who paired hers with a custom black Alaïa dress.

Our favorite thing to come out of Cannes thus far? The ladies boldly defying the festival's ban on naked-dressing. Riley Keough arrived at the Histoires Parallèles premiere in a sheer blush pink organza two piece set from Chanel's Spring 2026 collection.

Hannah Einbinder

Hannah Einbinder walked the red carpet for the screening of A Woman's Life in a neutral Celine look: a high waisted satin skirt with a bit of shine and a short sleeve white turtle neck top.

Gillian Anderson

For the screening of A Woman's Life, Gillian Anderson wore a white Miu Miu dress with embellished detailing along the straps and midriff.

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.

Demi Moore

For the Fatherland premiere, Moore wore a custom red Gucci dress akin to a sculpture.

For the premiere of La Vie D'Une Femme, Demi Moore wore custom purple organza gown by Gucci. The dress featured a dramatic train, was off the shoulder, and was sheer in all the right places.

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.

For the screening of A Woman's Life, Ruth Negga wore a black long sleeve lace Saint Laurent gown featuring voluminous tulle detailing at the waist.

For the festival's opening Gala, Negga brought both the texture and the color to the event. She wore green satin and fringe dress by Dior, complete with black lace detailing.

Charlotte Cardin

The festival notably banned naked-dressing last year, but that didn't stop Canadian singer Charlotte Cardin from walking the A Woman's Life red carpet in a fully sheer black lace Saint Laurent gown.

Meadow Walker

Meadow Walker walked the Fast and Furious screening red carpet in a ruffled and asymmetrical dress by Alaïa.

Theodora

No naked-dressing, no problem. Theodora arrived at the A Women's Life screening in a seductive and sexy Vivienne Westwood look—plus plaid platform shoes to complete the look.

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.
