Bella Hadid Swaps Cannes Glamour for Edgy Cutouts

You can always trust Bella Hadid to bring her vision of classic glamour to the Cannes Film Festival, but she’s not afraid to bring a little something different to town either. This morning, she traded out red carpet romance for something a little edgier.

While walking down the Palais des Festival steps with a friend, Hadid was sharply outfitted in a jet-black jumpsuit from Tom Ford’s fall 2026 collection. Her silky ensemble prominently featured a triangular side cutout across its waistline, spliced by a thin buckled belt attached to its flowing trouser base. The sultry moment was accentuated by a high-necked bodice with cuffed long sleeves and a dangling silver key charm, creating a futuristic fashion moment.

While her look wouldn’t have been out of place in either The Matrix or Berlin’s finest warehouses, Hadid kept the ensemble grounded in the present with an array of chic accessories. Black patent leather d’Orsay pumps continued the one-piece outfit’s cutout theme while bringing it a distinct polish. The star’s look was complete with dark oblong sunglasses and diamond stud earrings, as well as a glistening rectangular watch.

The night before, at the Chopard Miracle Gala, the model was aglitter in a beige gown with a sweeping hem and shimmering gold sequin embroidery. Naturally, as a Chopard ambassador, Bella completed her look with an orbiting diamond necklace and earrings from the fine jewelry brand. Mom Yolanda Hadid was her date, so the moment marked Hadid’s latest Cannes family affair; she attended the festival’s Garance screening with younger brother Anwar Hadid over the weekend.

With her latest whirlwind quick change, Hadid continued her reigning streak as Cannes’s ultimate fashion chameleon. Her looks in the South of France have already transitioned from bohemian to futuristic to vintage aesthetics, all while leaving room for the formal glamour that is the signature of the festival’s red carpet. As the bustling occasion continues, all eyes are undeniably on what she—among a stylish group of Cannes visitors including Demi Moore, Ruth Negga, and more—will wear next.

Cate Blanchett’s Backless Cannes Gown Is a Painting Come to Life

Nobody can deliver a thoughtful, artistic fashion statement on the red carpet quite like Cate Blanchett. For her latest outing at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, the fashion-forward star continued that approach in blooming style thanks to Sarah Burton’s Givenchy.

At the festival’s Sunday premiere for Garance, Blanchett swished into the Palais des Festivals in an intricate gown from the French brand’s fall 2026 collection. Her backless style included a lightly wrapped neckline with a formal floor-length hem, all crafted from black silk. Embroidered red, pink, yellow, and blue flowers with swirling, shadowed green stems spread across the front of the piece, complete with subtle sheer paneling for added depth.

The dress’s intricate flowers were far from your average garden-variety blooms. Burton’s collection took direct inspiration from the Old Masters of European oil painting, with this particular gown echoing the overflowing still life portraits of Dutch artists like Jan Davidsz de Heem and Jan van Huysum. The same ornate florals covered a pair of sleek black leather gloves cinched at each end with a black silk bow, which smoothly matched Blanchett’s gown. However, her look’s most dramatic statement came from the thick layers of swishing color-coordinated fringe, making the flowers appear to be melting onto the red carpet.

That very same detail made the dress go instantly viral earlier this spring, when Mona Tougaard closed Givenchy’s runway in the design at Paris Fashion Week. The style’s intricate details, rich color palette, and experimental use of textures are all hallmarks of Burton’s, cementing her place as one of the most innovative designers to watch today. Blanchett, true to form, proved the perfect star to debut the dress on the red carpet—after all, it was an original work of art.

However, this wasn’t Blanchett’s only fashionable moment at Cannes. On Saturday, the actor stepped out for the screening of Paper Tiger in a black velvet Louis Vuitton gown. Her custom ensemble, elegantly paired with diamond earrings and pointed black pumps, prominently featured a squared neckline framed with large lacy ruffles. In addition to being a signature of creative director Nicolas Ghesquière, the detail also smartly referenced the costumes worn in the actor’s Oscar-winning portrayal of Queen Elizabeth 1 in 1998’s Elizabeth. Even Blanchett, it seems, isn’t afraid of a self-reference on the red carpet.

Blanchett’s arrival at the Cannes Film Festival makes her the latest stylish star to touch down for the cinematic occasion. This year’s event has been a particularly fashionable affair so far through eye-catching outings by jury members Demi Moore and Ruth Negga, as well as guests including Isabelle Huppert, Sandra Hüller, Simone Ashley, and more. With an impressive streak that’s ranged from reworn award show gowns to frothy feathers, zippered leather, and more artistic fringe, Blanchett has delivered plenty of fashion surprises. But there’s no telling what she still has in store for Cannes—one thing is sure, her choices will make a statement.

All of Demi Moore’s 2026 Cannes Film Festival Fashion Moments

It is quite the honor to get tapped as a member of the Cannes Film Festival jury. It signals the respect from one's cineam peers and trust in their taste. Members pick the festival’s winner, after all. But there is a lot of pressure on the jury, not only to choose deserving honorees, but also to show up to every red carpet and photocall looking worthy of the appointment. Throughout the festival, a jury member may attend dozens of events—often two or three in just one day—and they need a new and appropriate look for each one. Not everyone is up for such a task, but when Demi Moore was appointed to the 2026 Cannes jury, there was no question that she could handle it.

Moore and her long-time stylist Brad Goreski have been taking us on a nonstop sartorial journey since the festival kicked off earlier this month. Starting with a playful Jacquemus number, Moore has brought glamour, sophistication, and a touch of camp with a wide array of ensembles. Truly, who would expect her to follow up a sparkling Tamara Ralph dress with that pink Matières Fécales number? Absolutely no one. And something tells us Moore has more in store as the festival continues. Below, a look at all of her ensembles thus far.

Moore attended the Chopard Miracle Gala on May 18 in a Nina Ricci look featuring the unexpected combination of a suit jacket and voluminous, tulle-layered skirt.

On May 16, Mariacarla Boscono wore this fur Gucci top down the runway in New York during Demna’s resort 2027 show. Two days later, the top was on Moore at the Fjord premiere in the South of France.

Moore has been wearing a lot of Chopard jewels throughout the festival, which is fitting considering the luxury brand is a sponsor of the event. But when the actor attended the Kering Women in Motion Awards on May 17, she swapped out her regular gems for a Boucheron necklace, an especially striking piece that stood out against her purple, croc leather Gucci dress.

While for the most part, Moore has been bringing some classic red carpet glamour to Cannes, she decided to mix things up a bit for the Paper Tiger premiere on May 18. The actor arrived to the screening in a campy, hot pink Matières Fécales fall 2026 dress with a shredded hem and comically large bow.

As if the crystal-covered Tamara Ralph spring 2026 couture dress Moore wore to the Trophée Chopard dinner on May 15 wasn’t glamorous enough, the actor paired it with a gorgeous, ostrich feather shawl. Of course, she completed the look with Chopard jewelry.

Moore’s Cannes luggage was packed with custom Gucci. The actor wore the brand once again to the Fatherland premiere on May 14.

The actor wore yet another custom Gucci look to the La Vie D'Une Femme premiere on May 13. The piece was inspired by a Gucci by Tom Ford spring 2003 mini dress Moore wore to the Matrix Reloaded premiere a top a pair of jeans.
