The curtain has officially dropped on the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Despite an eleventh-hour dress code update barring nudity, volume, and trains, celebrities still managed to pull out all the stops on the Croisette. There was sparkle, grandeur, and—yes—some rule-breaking.
In addition to the last-minute change, we were also keen to see how brands would fare amidst a season of heavy turnover. With the never-ending game of creative director musical chairs going down across the fashion industry, red carpet dressing is in flux, too. Some labels in a transient period, like Balenciaga and Loewe, dressed talent in the works of their outgoing creative directors (Demna and Jonathan Anderson, respectively), while Sarah Burton and Haider Ackermann offered some insight into their modi operandi at Givenchy and Tom Ford. Bottega Veneta, which had a quieter festival, straddled Matthieu Blazy’s telltale style while also offering a sneak preview of Louise Trotter’s vision.
While many celebrities stayed loyal to their contracts (Kristen Stewart and Margaret Qualley at Chanel; Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lawrence at Dior; Emma Stone and Cate Blanchett at Louis Vuitton), others had the freedom to roam. Free agent Elle Fanning wowed in Chanel, Gucci, and Valentino, while Halle Berry, Alba Rohrwacher, and Juliette Binoche—all jury members—turned to a variety of brands.
Below, we examine what brands celebrities wore on the Croisette for the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
