Here is a list of some of the looks from Cannes 2018 that we can’t seem to get enough of!
- Barbara Palvin
Victoria’s Secret model Barbara Palvin looked gorgeous as ever in an Alberta Ferretti black silk jersey wrap dress with a plunging neckline.

Swedish model and current Victoria’s Secret Angel Elsa Hosk stunned everyone in her custom made Alberta Ferretti gown. This gown truly represents every girl’s dream of becoming a princess. The soft blush pink color of this custom made strapless gown will remind you of the soothing spring afternoons when the ground remains strewn with a fresh carpet of cherry blossoms. Hosk looked absolutely dreamy at the premiere of Girls of the Sun.
- Kristen Stewart
Hollywood’s most badass and no nonsense actress, Kristen Stewart, was a jury member at Cannes Film Festival 2018 which meant that she was on the red carpet quite frequently. Stewart rebelled against the festival’s unspoken rule of heels only for women, and ascended the stairs barefoot after taking off her sky high stilettos at the red carpet. Later that week, she rocked a pair of Sarah Flint loafers along with her menswear inspired knee length blazer from Chanel that was accompanied by an unbuttoned white shirt and black cigarette pants. This outfit was a perfect mix of fashion and rebelliousness, driving home the message that Stewart was making a statement about unrealistic expectations in fashion, while simultaneously looking stunning.
- Lupita Nyongo
Trust Lupita Nyongo to whip up a storm wherever she goes! The stunning actress was adorned in an organza slip dress with multiple layers. The shade of the dress was a pastel apricot color reminiscent of Italian summers that make you want to lose yourself in them. Nyongo turned heads at the Chopard Secret Night in this outfit that she had accessorised with simple hoop earrings and a breezy makeup. The picture of her twirling happily in her beautiful outfit makes us want to do the same!
