After a Covid cancellation last year, the red carpet has once again been rolled out on the Croisette and the stars are private jetting in from far and wide for the fortnight-long event.

And while the great and good of Hollywood are technically in town to promote and applaud each others latest cinematic achievements, the real reason they flock to the French coastal town is to rock their most inspired outfits on the world’s biggest red carpet. With a dress code that’s rigidly smart and not casual Cannes, now in its 75th year, is always a magnet for some seriously spectacular high fashion moments.

And this year’s event is no exception. Bella Hadid served the most high fashion look of the event so far when she arrived to the premiere of Tre Piani (Three Floors) wearing an avant-garde black dress from the Schiaparelli Haute Couture AW21 collection debuted last week at Paris Haute Couture week, which came adorned with golden lungs. A day later, Timothée Chalamet (in metallic Tom Ford) and Tilda Swinton (in colour-blocking Haider Ackermann) joined forces for the premiere of Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch.

Elsewhere, Jessica Chastain nailed old-school glamour at the premiere of Annette in a black strapless Dior Couture gown accessorised with Chopard jewellery and a low ponytail, and Marion Cotillard look every inch the starlet in shimmering one-shouldered Chanel.

The next few weeks will see more celebs jet in for daytime photocalls and glitzy evening events. And judging by the looks they’ve served in the first few days, the stars have missed an excuse for all-out fashion fabulousness.

Stay tuned for more updates, and scroll through the gallery above for the best looks.
