THE 77th edition of the most fashionable film festival is nearing its end, with a slew of directors, actors and writers having made their entrance on the hallowed Promenade de la Croisette in Cannes.

This year, “Barbie” director Greta Gerwig, “Killers of the Flower Moon” breakout star Lily Gladstone and James Bond actor Eva Green are among the festival’s jury members, along with Spanish director Juan Antonion Bayon and Turkish screenwriter Ebru Ceylan.

A new “Mad Max” prequel, “Furiosa,” starring Anya Taylor-Joy, made its silver screen debut May 15; followed by Francis Ford Coppola’s US$120 million passion project, “Megalopolis,” starring Adam Driver and Aubrey Plaza, about an architect who wants to rebuild New York City as a utopia after a catastrophe; as well as another Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone collaboration, “Kinds of Kindness,” featuring Hunter Schafer, Joe Alwyn and Margaret Qualley.

The south of France is packed to the hilt with film’s fashion darlings, many of whom have been out in full force. We’ve seen Demi Moore in a sculptural Schiaparelli gown, Hunter Schafer in a mesmerizing liquid satin Armani Privé frock and Naomi Campbell enjoying a full circle moment in a vintage shimmering Chanel gown she first wore on the runway in 1996. The festival has a well-documented history of standout sartorial moments, and it’s clear this year is no exception.

The festival begins May 14, and runs through this Saturday. Here we bring our readers some of the best fashion, outfits, ensembles, and accessories from the red carpet and beyond.
