Cannes 2025 did not hold back. From edgy couture to dreamy old-Hollywood glamour, the red carpet was a playground for fashion risk-takers and style stars. The usual suspects brought the heat, but a few unexpected show-stealers left us pleasantly surprised. Whether you live for the gowns or geek out over tailoring, this year’s lineup had something for everyone—and honestly, our fashion-loving hearts are still racing.

Here are the best, boldest, and most breathtaking looks from the Cannes 2025 red carpet.

Rihanna and ASAP Rocky

Rihanna stunned in a custom Alaïa number that wrapped her in all the right ways—powerful, sensual, and a little mysterious (as always). The bright blue colour, asymmetrical silhouette, and those knot details made it pure red-carpet art. 

A$AP Rocky brought the cool in a sharp Saint Laurent look—polished, effortless, and subtly rebellious. Together, they looked like royalty from a future fashion galaxy. We would pay for a coffee table book of just their Cannes appearances, to be honest.

Simone Ashley

 

Simone lit up the carpet in Vivienne Westwood, delivering structured drama with a romantic twist in all white giving a legit fairy vibe. The corseted bodice and flowing drapes felt timeless yet fresh.

Her rich, bronzy makeup and elegant updo made the look even more cohesive, very much Bridgerton-meets-red-carpet couture. She carried it with grace and a dash of playful confidence. One word: wow.

Dakota Johnson

In a dreamy, baby pink-doll vibe Gucci creation, Dakota reminded us why she’s a red-carpet wildcard in the best way. The dress walked the line between romantic and rock-and-roll with delicate tassels.
Her fringes hairstyle and baby pink lip shade gave the whole look an effortless “I woke up like this—fabulous” vibe.

It was cool, confident, and unmistakably Dakota.

Spike Lee

Spike showed up repping hard in a bold Malcolm X that was more than fashion; it was a statement. Always one to fuse culture and style, his outfit paid homage with pride and power.

From the hat to the colour palette, it was signature Spike: unapologetically Black, sharp as ever, and full of meaning. He doesn’t just walk the red carpet; he marches in with purpose.

Kylie Verzosa

Kylie wowed in Tony Ward Couture, dripping in beads and elegance. The silhouette hugged her frame like a glove, and the neckline gave just the right amount of drama.
Her glam? Glowing skin, a sleek hairstyle, and an air of effortless grace. She looked like a modern-day queen stepping out of a fairytale.

And yes, she gave us another breathtaking moment in a second look by Mark Bumgarner. Two designers, two flawless slays. That’s how you Cannes. 

Coco Rocha

Coco brought her signature fashion fierceness in Ionut Razvan. The look was sculptural, sort of a shirt gown, avant-garde, and made for movement because you know Coco will strike a pose.

She turned the red carpet into her personal runway, proving once again that she’s not just a model; she’s a walking art installation—always ahead of the curve, always unforgettable.

Halle Berry

 Halle stepped out in a sleek, sophisticated silver halter neck dress by Gucci number that hugged every curve and oozed grown-woman glam.

With her signature short hair and understated elegance, she reminded everyone why she’s a Hollywood icon—simple, sexy, and utterly commanding just like Halle herself.

Julia Garner

Julia was a vision in Gucci, wearing a shimmery net base black toned gown that felt like old Hollywood met modern rebellion.

The draped dress made a big statement, balanced by her soft glam, blonde and short hair.
It was ethereal, strong, and quietly dazzling like a star that doesn’t need to scream to shine.

Irina Shayk

 Irina wore Giorgio Armani like it was made just for her, and it probably was. With a sleek and flowy silhouette, especially the oversized dress and minimalist sparkle, she served classic red-carpet glamour with a side of smoulder.

She kept accessories minimal, letting the dress (and her bold structure!) do the talking. Irina doesn’t need frills, just fierce confidence.

Isabeli Fontana

In Nicolas Jebran, Isabeli brought pure drama to Cannes. The gown had all the right elements cutouts, especially the super futuristic metallic brooch with turquoise based stones on it, and a bold silhouette that screamed “look at me”.

It was powerful, elegant, and totally worthy of a model. With her outfit, even her anklet was worth the attention. The look gave us glamazon energy in all the best ways.

Ellie Goulding

Ellie turned heads in Anamika Khanna, blending Indian couture with modern edge. The solid mocha muse gown was intricate, the styling was bold, and the result was refreshingly different.

Her look proved that even solids could rock the red carpet.

Natalie Portman

 Natalie Portman kept it timeless in a jaw-dropping all-black Christian Dior gown that oozed elegance and grace. The real stars of the show? Those sparkling crescent diamond details and the adorable front bow—subtle, chic, and totally stealing the spotlight.

She gave off major “Cannes royalty” energy gliding down the red carpet like she owned for decades. No flashy gimmicks, no over-the-top drama, just pure, classic beauty with a side of effortless charm.

Qianhui Wan

 Qianhui dazzled in Wang Feng Couture, bringing high drama and delicate design to the red carpet.
The look felt like wearable art, that off white super loud and ruffled gown, structured yet ethereal, bold yet graceful.

It was a major moment for rising international talent and a strong sign that global fashion is thriving at Cannes.
