Benedict Cumberbatch attended the premiere of the film with his wife, Sophie Hunter. He wore the most classic of all formal menswear, a sharp and suave black tuxedo, complete with a neat, white shirt and bowtie. He was seen wearing a black arm sling, possibly due to an injury. But he didn't let this setback interfere with his red carpet look.
A clever styling move was at play here, as the arm sling effortlessly blended with his outfit, seamlessly matching the entire ensemble. Made from the same black fabric as his blazer, the sling was carefully pinned to his shoulder.
Some may squirm at the idea of wearing a medical accessory on the red carpet, worry about how it might clash with the outfit, sticking out like a sore thumb. But Benedict owned it, turning this setback into a chic style statement.
Meanwhile, Benedict's wife, Sophie, was seen in an orange off-shoulder gown with a sculpted waistline, creating an interesting silhouette.
The Cannes Film Festival red carpet has witnessed several interesting styles over the years, from nude fashion's barely there dresses to gown trains sweeping the entire red carpet. While fashion is subjective and open to interpretation, Cannes rolled out rules to maintain a certain level of decorum and practicality on the red carpet.
So, Cannes tweaked its dress code and banned nudity on the red carpet on the grounds of decency. Along with naked dressing, long trains were also prohibited, citing practical reasons.

Vishal Pandey On Being Trolled For Cannes 2025 Debut Look: ‘Bura Laga'
Last Updated: Vishal Pandey recently addressed the trolling following his Cannes debut, clarifying that his presence at the festival was for a film project, not just for fashion. Vishal Pandey, the Indian actor and social media sensation, made a stunning debut at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival with his international film Far Away From Home. While many celebrated his achievement, others criticised his debut, labelling it a mere red carpet appearance. Recently, Vishal swiftly responded to the backlash, highlighting his passion for storytelling. He emphasised that his presence at Cannes was about more than just fashion. In a candid conversation with Telly Talk, Vishal Pandey shared his thoughts on the online criticism, saying, 'Pareshaan nahi, grateful hu joh bhi opportunities aaye. Vahan pe log mujhe itna appreciate kar rahe the. Mujhe laga jab main apne desh aaunga, aur zyada hoga lekin mere desh mein mixed opinions mile. (I am not worried, I am grateful for whatever opportunities came my way. People there were appreciating me so much. I felt that when I came to my country, there would be more, but I got mixed opinions in my country)." He added, 'Tab bura laga ki main apne country ko represent kar raha tha vahan pe. Aisa nahi hai ki main apna fashion show karne gaya tha. Cannes Film Festival is about films, not fashion. (Then I felt bad that I was representing my country there, it's not like I had gone to show my fashion. Cannes Film Festival is about films, not fashion)." Vishal Pandey further clarified that he had the opportunity to attend the event last year as well, but he chose not to go without a project to showcase.
