Who said the ballet flat hype was dying down?
When you're headed to a major event—like the Cannes Film Festival, for example—the expectation is that heels are the norm. Of course, rules are meant to be broken. Flats have taken over the scene as one of the standout, versatile pieces of footwear everyone should have in their closet, and Margaret Qualley just made a solid case for wearing them to any and all events.
Attending the premiere of Honey Don't, the actor stepped onto the red carpet in flat Chanel shoes in a cream and black cap-toe hue. Paired with a long, flowy gown—also by Chanel—with a high slit and off-the-shoulder neckline, Qualley looked nothing short of ethereal.
Her dress featured a small train that pooled around her as she walked, as well as a darling camelia—the luxury house's signature floral—and a bow detail nestled just at the heart of her neckline.
She wore her hair in a romantic bun, with two loose strands left out in front to frame her face. Although she kept her accessories minimal, her updo let her delicate two-tone drop earrings shine.
For Qualley, diamonds really have been her best friend on the carpet lately. While attending the Academy Awards earlier this year, her black backless gown was frosted to perfection with a few glamorous additions.
In addition to the Motif Russe necklace from Chanel's High Jewelry collection, she also donned an Étoile Filante bracelet, Impression Florale earrings, and both Pluie de Comètes and Ruban rings—all made of 18-karat white gold and glittering with precious diamonds.

Emma Watson Models Affordable Outerwear in Paris
Just weeks after she was spotted in Cannes wearing dainty lace and summery Chanel, Emma Watson is trading in her ladylike fashions for a tomboyish look. Today (June 6) in Paris, the actor and activist opted for a bohemian-meets-utilitarian look. She wore a sheer black long sleeve with a knitted diamond pattern, which she styled with a pair of light-wash barrel jeans. Watson elevated the black top and blue jeans formula with her styling, accessorizing with a pair of chunky black boots and dangling, shoulder-grazing earrings. Emma Watson in Paris, June 2025. Iammeysam / BACKGRIDUSA But what caught our eye was Watson's outerwear: A thigh-length, toffee-colored barn jacket with deep, pronounced pockets, and a brown faux-leather collar. The coat hails from Pixie Market and retails for $219. Not only is it a reasonably priced piece of outerwear, it's made of 100 per cent cotton. A longtime proponent of sustainability—from vintage to deadstock, and even the 2016 Met Gala where she walked the carpet in a deconstructed Calvin Klein dress made out of recycled plastic bottles—it's no surprise to see Emma Watson invest in a sturdy cotton coat that will last a lifetime. But the wallet-friendly price tag is an added boon.

'Dogma': 25th Anniversary Celebration Review - Kevin Smith's Controversial Classic Gets Resurrected
Kevin Smith's fourth feature film is just as prescient now, on its 25th anniversary, as it was during its original release at the Cannes Film Festival before the turn of the century. Similar in approach to satires such as Verhoeven's Starship Troopers (1997) and Judge's Idiocracy (2005), Dogma criticizes all religious sects of Western society, from Catholics to Protestants to Agnostics. Whether you're a believer, denier, or contrarian, Smith has more than a few words for you. Dogma follows two angels, Loki (Matt Damon) and Bartleby (Ben Affleck), on a quest to earn their place back in heaven by walking through the doors of a Catholic church in the midst of a rededication, when all sins will be forgiven. If they can accomplish this, transfer into human form, and then die, they can return to heaven. A young woman named Bethany (Linda Fiorentino) works at an abortion clinic and struggles with her own religious beliefs, but is pulled into the fray and encouraged to stop the fallen angels. Fortunately, she's aided by two slacker prophets, the soon-to-be-infamous Jay and Silent Bob. Along the way, they continue to receive guidance from a seraph (Alan Rickman), a 13th apostle (Chris Rock), and a muse (Salma Hayek) as everyone is in a race to stop the plan unfortunately initiated by Cardinal Glick's (George Carlin) church, though Azrael (Jason Lee) is the original trickster that sets everything in motion. Since its debut, the cast of Dogma has all gone on to successful film and television careers, mostly in front of the camera, not to mention Ben Affleck's six directorial efforts and Chris Rock's balance of acting roles, comedy shows, and award show hosting duties. Many of Smith's frequent collaborators stem from films fleshed out thanks to casting director Don Phillips (Mallrats) or Shana Lory (Chasing Amy), but Smith certainly has an eye for talent and comedic potential himself. The director continues to play with genre in Dogma, as well as tropes and stereotypes, and the line between indie features and traditional studio films couldn't be any clearer. The film constantly oscillates between poking fun at Western religion and culture, the movie industry, the film itself, and everyday life in America in the 90s. Though controversial at the time and momentarily banned and delayed in a few countries, Dogma remains a classic. Though much of the dialogue in Dogma comes across as didactic and expository, the approach and overall tone are consistent and necessary. Especially considering the current resurgence of self-help books, conspiracy theories, and rampant misinformation on the internet. Dogma's willingness to speak directly to and through its protagonist, Bethany, and subsequently the audience, makes for a movie worth listening to, whether its ideology and dogma conflict with the listener or not. Smith's film is also worth revisiting considering the pace at which AI technology is pushing into the filmmaking space, especially since the industry is only a few years removed from the writer's strikes, which took place right on the heels of the COVID-19 Pandemic recovery. Smith's work always reminds us what we're capable of as a collective: a collective of nerds, a collective of young creatives, or a collective of cast-offs and forgotten spiritual beings. If anything, Dogma reminds us to remain curious enough to create and discuss our ideas with others. In honor of the 25th anniversary, the film has been beautifully restored through remastering and color-correction in 4K by Triple Media Film with legendary cinematographer Robert Yeoman (The Grand Budapest Hotel, Bridesmaids). The remastered version, currently on a US tour of 20 cities dubbed DOGMA: The Resurrection tour, began on Easter Sunday, April 20th, at the Grove in Los Angeles, with appearances from Smith and Jason Mewes. Dogma: A 25th Anniversary Celebration is now playing newly remastered in over 1,500 theaters across North America courtesy of Iconic Events.

Simone Ashley Reveals Her Beauty Secret for When She ‘Can't Be Bothered'
Simone Ashley has had an eventful few years. Since her breakout role as Kate Sharma in season 2 of Bridgerton in 2022, the actress's career has exploded. This past March, Ashley starred alongside Hero Fiennes Tiffin in the romantic comedy Picture This, where she played a struggling photographer trying to balance her career and her love life. Now, she is switching gears—pun intended—as she prepares for the highly anticipated release of F1, a sports action movie about two Formula 1 drivers, set to release this summer. Even with such a busy schedule, Ashley manages to show up on every red carpet looking flawless. This year's Cannes Film Festival was no different. She arrived, styled in a white Vivienne Westwood gown, for the premiere of The Mastermind. At the festival, Ashley also acted as a spokesperson for L'Oréal Paris's Lights on Women's Worth Awards, her second year as an ambassador for the program. Below, ELLE caught up with Ashley for a few minutes after her red carpet appearances to talk skin care, Cannes glam, and her go-to beauty rituals. I exfoliate a few times a week, hydrate, drink lots of water, moisturize, and try not to stress. A moisturizer! Actually, I don't really make much of an effort when I'm not working. I can't really be bothered. I just put my sunglasses on. Exfoliating. That works for me, though. I think everything is personal and subjective for different people. For me personally, it's [exfoliating] and rest. I am so lucky to have my team here with me. Alex Babsky, my makeup artist, always makes me feel so confident in myself. Stephane [Lancien], who's been doing my hair—he's just amazing. That was crazy. I have a very small part, but I'm grateful to be in that movie. I got to experience many Grands Prix. I don't think I'll ever do anything like that again. It's an honor. I feel very proud. At the awards dinner, Viola [Davis] did a speech. I'm so grateful that she's an ambassador for this brand. Though I'm inspired by everyone, seeing Viola made me feel so seen, like I am capable of doing it. This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.
