13 Looks That Slayed Cannes Film Festival

There are only a few red carpet events each year that actually get us excited: The Met Gala, The Oscars, and, of course, the Cannes Film Festival. When it comes to Cannes, it’s pretty much the Paris Fashion Week of the red carpet.

Sure, it may be a film festival, but undeniably some of the most beautiful looks waltz down the (many) carpets of the 11-day French fest—and this year did not disappoint. We have to give the attendees some props; it’s a lot to get all dolled up every day, sometimes even multiple times a day, for a week and a half straight.

What did we see this time around? Well, gigantic princess gowns are on the rise (always), with enormous skirts fit for a Disney princess and lots and lots tulle spotted everywhere. Despite the rumored strict dress codes, we also saw a couple rule breakers, from K. Stew’s bandeau (pictured below) to some jorts action from Kendall Jenner. Are officials finally letting up? We still have a couple of days left, so we’ll be watching for more.
