The French Riviera is the place to be right now. Not only did Sofia Richie just have her wedding there, but it’s also home to the 76th Annual Cannes Film Festival. The invitation-only event, which runs from May 16 to May 27, showcases upcoming movies from around the world. But the biggest attraction for those of us not in attendance is the buzzy red carpet scene, which always attracts a bevy of impeccably dressed stars. This year is no different: The celebs serving 2023 Cannes Film Festival fashion — including Brie Larson, Elle Fanning, and Naomi Campbell — look particularly stunning.

Exhibit A: Larson, who attended a series of events in not one, but two different Chanel numbers (a dress and floral jumpsuit). Then there was Fanning, who channeled her inner Disney princess in a custom Alexander McQueen gown, and Campbell — the model exuded a can’t-be-bothered energy by accessorizing her metallic gown with white sunglasses on the red carpet. And, of course, we could never dole out the style accolades without mentioning Dame Helen Mirren. She dyed her hair blue just so it could match her dress (we love to see the commitment!).

Since there are still many days left for the film festival, rest assure that more VIPS are on the way — we will be updating this space regularly with what they are all wearing. In the meantime, check below for some of our favorite looks from Cannes thus far.

Plunging necklines are always a go-to look for celebs on the red carpet. Harvey tapped into that with her Dundas number.

Ahead of the highly anticipated HBO series The Idol, its cast members showed up to promote the show at Cannes. Depp wore a strapless, sequin Chanel Fall/Winter 1994 look.

We love an opera glove moment on the red carpet and Yeoh delivered in this custom Balenciaga look with Boucheron jewelry.

The last time Lawrence was photographed at Cannes was back in 2014! Thus, her appearance at the Bread and Roses photo call deserves a special shoutout. The actor wore a Dior Spring/Summer 2023 Couture dress with pear shape earrings from Alison Lou.

Dua Lipa

The singer and her boyfriend Romain Gavras made their red carpet debut at Cannes. The singer wore a cutout one-shoulder dress from Celine with Tiffany & Co. jewelry.

We spy a princess on the red carpet and it’s Portman, who wore an embroidered tulle dress from Dior circa 1949. The Chopard jewelry added a gorgeous finishing touch.

Viola Davis

Style a feathery coat with a gown and the outfit instantly becomes a lot more glamorous. Davis looked like Hollywood royalty in this Valentino Fall/Winter 2022 Couture creation and Chopard jewelry.

PSA to all the Blackpink fans out there: The singer and dancer wore Saint Laurent on the red carpet.

You can never go wrong with a fiery red gown, as Chan proved here in her Louis Vuitton number.

Cate Blanchett

Marc Piasecki/FilmMagic

The actor is always one of the best-dressed stars at red carpet events. Here, she wore a custom gown from Louis Vuitton with diamond earrings from the Louis Vuitton High Jewelry collection.

Salma Hayek

Hayek brought the glamour and drama to Cannes in this plum-colored Alexander McQueen gown.

Brie Larson

We’d do a happy dance, too, after walking up the steps in a Chanel look and heels. Larson makes it all look so easy and glamorous!

While everyone else wore some variation of a dress, Larson opted for a figure-hugging floral jumpsuit from Chanel. The black headband was a nice touch.

Elle Fanning

One our favorite Cannes regulars is Fanning — the actor always looks like royalty on the red carpet. Here, she wore a custom Alexander McQueen gown with a 18k white gold and diamond necklace from Cartier, along with a diamond bracelet and ring from the luxury jewelry brand.

Helen Mirren

Marc Piasecki/FilmMagic

The next time you want to make a show-stopping entrance at a party, consider dying your hair to match the color of your dress. Mirren, in a Del Core powder blue gown and Bulgari jewelry, just proved this is the ultimate fashion-meets-beauty power move.

Uma Thurman

PSA: Choker necklaces are definitely still a thing — at least according to Thurman. She wore the accessory with her Dior gown and Chopard jewelry.

Naomi Campbell

Campbell came prepared for the hoard of flashing cameras. She styled her white sunglasses with a metallic silver Celine gown and Chopard jewelry.

Gong Li

At the Jeanne du Barry screening and opening ceremony, the actor wore a long-sleeve black gown from Alaïa’s Fall/Winter 2023 collection. The LBD let her more glitzy Cartier jewels and Jimmy Choo fringe bag take centerstage on the red carpet.

Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michael Douglas, & Carys Zeta Douglas

The film festival became a family affair for Zeta-Jones as she walked the red carpet with her husband, Michael, and their 20-year-old daughter, Carys. The mother-and-daughter duo both wore dresses from Elie Saab, shoes from Sarah Flint, and Chopard jewelry.
