Cannes 2025 Red Carpet: 40 Unforgettable Celebrity Style Moments

Listen, I’m buzzing like I downed five espressos—Cannes 2025 just served fashion fantasies on a silver platter! The festival’s red carpet rolled out forty knockout ensembles that had jaws dropping faster than you can say “more coffee, please.” Zendaya kicked things off in a jaw-dropping Versace sequin jumpsuit that shimmered under the Riviera sun—seriously, her stylistical glow-up was palpable (Vogue, May 2025). Emma Stone followed with a pearl-encrusted Chanel gown that looked like it was spun from moonlight (People Magazine, May 2025), and yes, I audibly gasped.

You could practically hear the paparazzi cameras snapping as Timothée Chalamet redefined sleek in a bespoke Haider Ackermann tux with daring cutouts—even the stoic French onlookers were doing double takes (E! News, May 2025). Meanwhile, Rihanna’s edgy Maison Margiela number—complete with strategic sheer panels—had every fashion critic scribbling hurried notes in their notebooks (The Hollywood Reporter, May 2025). Oh, and can we talk about Jennifer Lopez? J-Lo floated down the carpet in a cascading Gucci gown that glowed like molten gold—Tiffany & Co.’s diamonds at her throat adding that extra “pinch me” sparkle (People Magazine, May 2025).

There was a pastel parade—Billie Eilish stunned in a custom Miu Miu confection that was equal parts princess and punk, proving that monochrome mania is officially back. Lupita Nyong’o served regal drama in a sculptural Valentino frock fit for a modern day queen, and Lily-Rose Depp nailed understated elegance in a slip-on Saint Laurent dress layered with delicate Bulgari jewels. Somewhere between Halle Bailey’s neon cutout number and Florence Pugh’s boho-chic couture blend, I nearly spilled my third croissant.

Let’s not skip the menswear—Pedro Pascal turned heads in a vintage Dior tux with velvet lapels, and Cillian Murphy’s minimalist Celine suit quietly stole moments with its tailored perfection. Then there was the unexpected trend of sculptural sleeves—complete with tiny windmills of fabric that fluttered every time the Cannes breeze hit—seen on Cate Blanchett and Marion Cotillard (Vogue, May 2025).

Every glance down that 40-look list felt like flipping through a dream board for your next Instagram obsession. Bold colors clashed with dreamy pastels, powerful shoulders met ethereal trains, and every statement accessory—from outsized earrings to bedazzled clutches—sealed each celebrity’s red-carpet reign. Honestly, I need a nap just from recapping all this glam, but I swear, I could gab about these looks all day long.
