With a see-through effect and train,Hadid bent the rules in tribute to actress andfashion icon Jane Birkin’s Cannes Film Festival outfit of 1969. On that occasion,the woman who lent her name to Hermes’ most famous handbag wore a Pucci dress backwards to create a plunging neckline.
Hadid turned to the Schiaparelli atelier for an embroidered update that took 22,160 hours to make.

In a forum on AI at Cannes,Swinton said:“I believe as long as what we’re not producing is formulaic and in some way tiring for the audience,AI doesn’t have a chance.”
Swinton brought the same element of surprise to the red carpet.

The train of her custom Self-Portrait dress,worn to a screening ofLa PolaNegra,defied the rules. The label is a favourite ofCatherine,Princess of Wales.
Earlier in the festival,Moore tested her immunity in a voluminous dress with gigantic bow and deliberate fraying from French label Matières Fécales. The label,which translates to Fecal Matter,has not been worn by the Princess of Wales.

The Cannes Film Festival organisers request “elegant shoes and sandals with or without a heel (no sneakers)” on the red carpet.
Her black-and-red embroidered dress from Chanel’s autumn/winter 2026 collection meets the brief,but her vintageKOZAK 72 sneakers are a red flag. Well,we think they’re elegant.
