When: 17th May 2022 - "Final Cut (Coupez!)" & Opening Ceremony Red Carpet

Actress and TV host Patricia Contreras dazzled in an embellished silver and black dress with a structured shoulder cape. The dress itself is designed with a fitted corset bodice that features a sweetheart neckline and asymmetric hem. Silver embellishment completely covers this, as well as the shoulders on the cape, before the silver falls down gradually and breaks up into separate details. The silver really stands out against the sheer black and adds this touch of drama, whilst keeping it elegant for the Cannes Film Festival.

The dress itself falls to mid-thigh, finished with a straight hem as its design includes a six-button front and two straight flapped pockets. The peak lapels are a good width to balance out the padded shoulders, providing extra height and drama. A welt pocket is also included, whilst the cuffs are completed with four shiny black buttons on each side of the 3/4 sleeves.

On the red carpet, actress Lashana Lynch looked very modern yet classy wearing a layered sleeveless white gown with a printed lace front and back. The bodice is a straight front with a small collar on the neck, the sides cut low to the waist before leading into the high side splits. The hem gracefully brushes the red carpet and to strengthen the simplicity and beauty of the gown further, the long fabric ties drape over her arms and down to the sides.

Having a style moment on the red carpet also was actress Sheila Atim who, for this red carpet, opted for a rust orange velvet gown with a train draping behind. The textures and lines created in the velvet really strengthens this monochrome look, different shades of orange created through the folds and natural draping. The halterneck is held with a delicate embellished strap which falls round and down to the middle of the back, outlining a plunging back line.

Actress Julia Roberts looked very cool for the red carpet in a sharp suiting moment, as her attire consisted of a pair of front-pleated trousers and an accompanying tailcoat all in one. The front was fastened with a large navy blue button and a hidden fastening behind the centre front, creating a smooth and fitting outfit. The peak lapels match the navy and contrast the matte finish of the cloth, whilst the sharp lines make for a well-tailored finish across the shoulders and turn-ups on the trouser hem. The tail curves down to knee-length with a tall single vent, and her sleeves are finished with a three-button cuff.

From the waist flares a sort of peplum, enhancing the subtle sheen of the fabric and the natural folds it makes. Its structured on the hips to contrast the natural fall of the cloth, whilst the back is kept simple with the silver zip on show and a small element of a train. A little element of fringing is included on just a small section of the hem to add a bit of texture to the gown.

The red carpets at Cannes Film Festival always delivers memorable fashion moments, and this outfit from actress Hina Khan is definitely one of them. The lilac purple dress was finished with a straight neckline and fitted bodice, heavily contrasted by the large wide ruffles and fabric panelling that flares out from the waist. The under layer of these shapes are made with intricate pleating of which the edges of these can be seen acting as the hem to each one. Over the top was a vast amount of feathers covering the entire bodice and skirt too, the skirt which flares out either side of the centre front.

Fashion influencer and blogger Leonie Hanne brightened the red carpet wearing a turquoise corsetted gown with a long, dramatic fabric train which draped behind. The corset neckline is a modern style that's straight across the top before falling into a thin curved V-neck. Silver embellishment covers the bodice and falls onto the top of the skirt before finishing on the top ruffled layer. The multiple layers of the fabric help to create the structure and shape from the waist, before leading down into the long layered train.

Fashion model and actress Toni Garrn opted for a turquoise two-piece number that was embellished with intricate jewels across the jacket and trousers, starting heavily on the shoulders before filtering down. There was a general relaxed vibe to the cut of the suit, with the shoulders padded yet dropping slightly over the natural shoulder point, and only the top button out of three fastened on the front. The notch lapels are short and the welt pocket situated low on the body, whilst the two flapped pockets are in their common placement. Three-button cuffs are the choice for the sleeves, whilst a matching turquoise belt is worn through the trouser waistband of this straight-cut pair.

The attire is quite sophisticated but bold in shape, with the boxy and padded shoulders giving serious style to a simple suit. Six buttons feature on the front, along with two straight flapped pockets and a welt hiding behind the one lapel. The four-button cuffs on the 3/4 sleeves are slightly kissing, whilst the model poses with her hands tucked into the trouser side pockets, giving more attention to the tuxedo satin side stripe on the garment.
