25 of The Best Dressed Celebrities At Cannes Film Festival
From Meryl Streep in custom Dior to Youssra in Tony Ward, Bazaar Arabia brings you a roundup of all our favourite looks from the renowned film festival
The Cannes Film Festival is back for 2024!
There is an exiting lineup of films this year, both in and out of competition. Among the must-see titles are Francis Ford Coppola’s eagerly awaited Megalopolis, featuring Adam Driver and the high action Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, with Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth. Plus, Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos return with Kinds of Kindness, aiming to match the success of last year’s Poor Things, alongside Hunter Schafer, Margaret Qualley, and Joe Alwyn.
Of course, though Cannes is a film-festival, it seems to attract more attention for its glamorous red-carpet premieres. You can expect to see plenty of stunning fashion as the stars make their way up the iconic red stairs.
We’ve rounded-up some of the best style moments from this year’s festival so far, right here.
