See Bella Hadid, Spike Lee, Jessica Chastain, Adam Driver, Helen Mirren and more red carpet fashion at the 74th Cannes Film Festival.
After hitting the pause button in 2020, the Cannes Film Festival rolled out the red carpet once more—and the A-list celebrities brought their fashion A-game. While actresses and supermodels typically attract the paparazzi, it was director Spike Lee who owned the night with a hot pink custom-made suit by Virgil Abloh for Louis Vuitton, with matching sunglasses and a pair of custom Air Jordans. Lee, who has been coming to the festival since 1986, when he debuted Do the Right Thing, is also making history as the first Black president of the Cannes jury. The world’s most famous film festival also has five women on its nine-member jury—Maggie Gyllenhaal, French actress Melanie Laurent, directors Mati Diop and Jessica Hausner, and musician Mylène Farmer—after years of criticism about female directors being woefully underrepresented in the major award categories. But of the 24 films in contention for the top prize, the Palme d’Or, only four were directed by women. Among the films vying for the Palme d’Or is the musical Annette, directed by Leos Carex and starring Adam Driver as a stand-up comic married to a famous soprano, played by Marion Cotillard.
