Cannes Film Festival is one-of-its-kind. It not only promotes and showcases movies from
across the globe but is also a great gateway to the world of fashion. Every year it set fashion trends that rule
the entire year. Celebrities from the film fraternity turn out for movie
premieres in the best designer dresses that frame the fashion trend for
upcoming year. This year was the 69th annual Cannes Film Festival and
yet again we witnessed some of the hottest fashion styles. Let’s have a look at the best red carpet
looks from this year.
Black
Magic
 |
When
in doubt, wear black! Yes, black is the safest bet for red carpet events. It’s
not just a formal colour but also makes you look slimmer. No wonder most of the celebrities choose to
wear black at formal occasions. This year too many celebrities wore black gowns
at the Cannes Film Festival 2016 but the gorgeous actress Julianne Moore and
talented Kristen Stewart really caught our eye. While Juliane opted for a sheer
black Givenchy gown along with Chopard jewellery, Kristen looked fabulous in a retro-inspired
Chanel dress with a sheer button-up top. Both rocked their respective black
numbers with grace and panache.
Red
Hot
Red never goes out
of vogue. Also known as the colour of passion and sensuality, red looks
ravishing on one and all. Keeping this in mind, stunning Bella Hadid and super
model and actress Rosie Huntington Whiteley wore red gowns at Cannes 2016.
Bella flaunted a daring thigh-high slit Alexandre Vauthier’s red satin halter
neck gown and looked like a million bucks. Rosie also chose an Alexandre
Vauthier gown and completed her look with jewellery from Chanel Joaillerie. They did complete justice with the red and
made it their own.
Sunshine
Yellow
Yellow is synonymous with all things bright
and beautiful. And this is what we witnessed when we saw the gorgeous Anna
Kendrick in marigold Stella McCartney gown and Bulgari jewellery. The silhouette was simple yet eye-catching,
all thanks to the pop yellow colour. Apart from Anna Kendrick, Jessica Chastain
also chose a yellow strapless gown for her red carpet appearance and looked
dazzling.
Sheer
Delight
Sometimes a neutral hue does all the wonder.
Which is explains why designers came up with nude coloured gowns. Who rocked a
sheer Atelier Versace sheer gown? None other than our very own ‘Gossip Girl’,
Blake Lively! She looked like a true diva in her sheer gown with little glittery
sequins and made onlookers go wow! Ex-Miss world and Bollywood starlet
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan also chose a beautiful cape style sheer gown and owned the
look. In addition, the very talented Kirsten Dunst sported a sheer nude gown
with lace detailing. Not to forget, Bella Hadid’s Cavalli Couture gown that
made her look angelic.
Pristine
White
White is indeed a serene color and looks
great on all skin complexions. We spotted actress, Eva Longoria, of Desperate Housewives
fame, sporting a divine Pamella Roland white dress with a beaded top and
fish-cut white fitted skirt. Her sartorial choice made her win the fancy of
fashion police. Another hit at Cannes
fashion was Indian beauty Sonam Kapoor, who dazzled in her white Ralph &
Russo’s dramatic gown with embroidered cape. She looked utterly sophisticated
and classy in her white ensemble. Calling her a delicate princess won’t be an
exaggeration! Kirsten Dunst, actress-par-excellence also chose a fitted white gown with delicate straps and gave shutterbugs a visual
delight!
Though the list of eye-candy fashion
statements on the Cannes red carpet was endless, the above mentioned are our
personal favourites. Take a look and I’m sure you will be mesmerised by the
fashion at its best!
