Top 10 Best Cannes Film Festival Looks of 2022

Welcome to MsMojo, and today we’re counting down our picks for the Top 10 Best Cannes Film Festival Looks of 2022.

For this list, we’ll be looking at the boldest, most fashionable ensembles at the 75th Festival de Cannes in France.

What’s your favorite Cannes look of 2022? Let us know in the comments.

#10: Katherine Langford

Australian actress Katherine Langford made her Cannes debut in custom Prada, literally shining as she walked the red carpet at the opening ceremony. Styled by Molly Dickson, the “Knives Out” star was a vision in a silver sequin column gown with an oversized bow and sweeping train. Piaget earrings completed the overall glittery look. But the budding fashionista didn’t stop there. She attended the “Top Gun: Maverick” premiere in a hot pink taffeta piece from Valentino’s Fall 2022 Pink PP Collection. Langford attended the annual event as a spokesperson for longtime Cannes sponsor L’Oreal Paris, so naturally, her makeup was minimal and flawless.

#9: Alessandra Ambrosio

Hot pink had a moment in the French Riviera this year, being a must-have for several attendees, including Alessandra Ambrosio. The Brazilian beauty stunned at the Celebration of Women in Cinema Gala in this romantic Elie Saab gown with a sweetheart neckline and floral appliqué. Celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos gave the supermodel a polished, blunt bob, shortly after Ambrosio sported long waves parted in the middle. She took our breath away in a strapless, mermaid style gown by Alberta Ferretti, featuring a plunging neckline that showed off her sparkling Boucheron jewels.

#8: Emily Ratajkowski

Never one to shy away from the daring, author and supermodel Emily Ratajkowski wowed the Cannes red carpet in a long black lace dress by Miu Miu. Beaded floral embellishments added some shine to the ensemble, as did the gold-buckled belt and emerald Chopard jewels. Ratajkowski also rocked a new set of “French-girl bangs,” as her hairstylist Jennifer Yepez called them. She opted for clip-in bangs rather than scissors to achieve this hair style, creating a temporary but stylish look. The overall result is definitely on brand with Ratajkowski’s signature blend of sultry and sophisticated.

#7: Kristen Stewart

Ultimate cool girl and Chanel ambassador Kristen Stewart repped the brand to the nines at the Cannes Film Festival. At a photocall for her new film “Crimes of the Future,” the actress wore a red tweed pants suit straight off the runway from the Chanel Cruise 2023 collection. But in true K.Stew fashion, she made the look her own by forgoing an undershirt and leaving the top of the blazer unbuttoned. She also kept the accessories light, only wearing a couple rings, letting the already embroidered ensemble have the spotlight. Stewart added a retro twist with tinted sunglasses and black platform boots.

#6: Viola Davis

Award-winning actress Viola Davis kept it fun and colorful with Alexander McQueen at this year’s Cannes, donning not one but two bright pants suits. But it was this Belle-like off-the-shoulder canary yellow gown she wore to the “Top Gun: Maverick” premiere that really caught our eye. The star looked absolutely radiant in the custom McQueen creation featuring an exploded neckline and corset, with puffy sleeves. Davis rocked her beautiful nature hair adorned with an orange flower hairpin, topping off the look with Boucheron jewelry. The actress also made a bold choice of footwear with custom Tod’s chunky gold platforms underneath.

#5: Bella Hadid

The Hadid’s are known fashionistas, and Bella really brought it for 2022. The talented Law Roach, who dubbed his client the “Queen of Cannes,” dressed his client in an assortment of vintage dresses, including a show-stopping piece from the Gianni Versace archives. Hadid turned heads in this black strapless gown from the late designer’s spring/summer 1987 collection, complete with dazzling drop earrings and rings by Chopard. The ruched bodice and velvet skirt perfectly hugged the model’s figure, with the draping taffeta and big bow adding some drama. Hadid’s sleek bun allowed her black cat eyeliner to seriously pop.

#4: Deepika Padukone

Bollywood star and Cannes jury member Deepika Padukone kicked off the festival at the opening ceremony gala dinner wearing this stunning saree-style gown by Sabyasachi. She complemented the sparkly black and gold striped dress with bold eye makeup and a crystal headband. Padukone recently made history as the first Indian brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton. And she continued to slay the red carpet in custom creations, including a gorgeous red peplum dress with a Cartier statement necklace, and a sleek, black cocktail gown with all-over feather detail. While she made headlines for struggling to walk in an elaborate orange Ashi Studio gown, the actress was still one of this year’s best dressed celebs.

#3: Eva Longoria

Like many of the celebs on this list who graced the South of France with extravagant fashion, Eva Longoria served multiple looks. Whether she wore a sheer black Alberta Ferretti dress with ruffles, or a Mônot one-shoulder black gown with a high slit and lots of leg, the Latina actress stole the red carpet again and again! But our favorite has to be this silver, mosaic-tiled dress with off-shoulder detail by Cristina Ottaviano and Aquazzura heels. The star did a smokey eye and nude lip for her disco ball moment, complete with dangling earrings and a half up, half down hairstyle.

#2: Elle Fanning

Even though she plays Empress Catherine II in Hulu’s “The Great”, the ever-elegant Elle Fanning had a total princess moment at Cannes this year. The actress wore a blush-pink Armani Privé tulle gown with a crystal corseted bodice. Strapless with a subtle sweetheart neckline, the dress accentuated her figure, fitting her like a glove. Fanning accessorized with a Chopard diamond choker and matching bracelet, adding a yellow heart ring for some color. She finished off the regal look with a delicate beaded bow in her blonde curls. Elle was absolutely enchanting, immediately earning the title of one of the best dressed stars to grace the Croisette.

#1: Anne Hathaway

Yes, Anne Hathaway is undeniably the Queen of Cannes 2022, with her series of remarkable looks. The “Armageddon Time” star effortlessly slayed at the film’s photocall, wearing a black and blue Gucci mini dress with embellishments, Bulgari jewelry, and silver platform heels. Her bump-it beehive and cat-eye sunglasses gave it a retro vibe. Hathaway’s definite show-stopping look of the event was a white sequined gown by Armani Privé she wore to the premiere. The actress paired it with a jaw-dropping, one-of-a-kind Bulgari necklace, boasting a rare 107,15-carat cushion-cut Sri Lankan sapphire, and matching ring. Miranda Priestly would approve.
