The Only Cannes Red Carpet Looks You Need to See in 2026

It’s been a fantastic month for fans of red carpet style. First, we had the Met Gala, where Rihanna, Sabrina Carpenter, Beyoncé, and Blue Ivy Carter left us speechless with their dresses. Now we’ve set our sights on the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, which is celebrating its 79th year. The legendary event has always been the epitome of French glamour and is attended by the most stylish celebrities in the world. Did you know, by the way, that the Cannes Film Festival has a strict dress code for gala screenings? Sneakers are “forbidden” on the red carpet, but Kristen Stewart and other celebrities have boldly broken the rules over the years.

This year, the red carpet looks are seriously impressive. Barbara Palvin Sprouse announced her pregnancy in a Miu Miu gown, while Simone Ashley dug into the Alexander McQueen archives for her F/W 05 dress. Scroll down to get all the details on the 2026 Cannes Film Festival‘s best dressed celebrities. Might I suggest also taking a look at my retrospective of the best Cannes looks of all time? It includes late fashion icons such as Princess Diana, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, and more.

Be sure to check back here often, as we’ll be updating our roundup until the festival ends on May 23.
