The 78th Cannes Film Festival kicked off in spectacular fashion on Tuesday, May 13, as the red carpet came alive with cinematic legends, global fashion icons, and bold sartorial statements. The premiere of Partir Un Jour set the tone for what promises to be a dazzling edition of the world’s most glamorous film event.
Among the early standouts were Irina Shayk, who embraced sleek minimalism with striking confidence, and Heidi Klum, who defied the festival’s newly implemented dress code by arriving in a voluminous pink gown by Elie Saab — complete with a dramatic slit and sweeping train. It was a moment that sparked conversation before the cameras even stopped flashing.
Actress Eva Longoria turned heads in a fiery red gown with cascading layers and a high slit, while Julia Garner delivered modern elegance in a structured emerald green Gucci number featuring sheer panels and precise cutouts. Rossy de Palma, a Cannes favorite, brought her signature flair, reminding everyone why she’s a staple on this iconic carpet.
This year, Cannes introduced new style guidelines, discouraging excessive transparency and oversized silhouettes. But opening night proved that rules are made to be interpreted — and that creativity will always have its place on the Croisette.
As the festival continues, the red carpet is sure to remain a space where fashion meets film in its most extravagant form. Stay tuned for more unforgettable moments as stars continue to grace the steps of the Palais des Festivals.
Great event
