Here's What Brands Celebrities Wore to the 2025 Cannes Film Festival
In addition to the last-minute change, we were also keen to see how brands would fare amidst a season of heavy turnover. With the never-ending game of creative director musical chairs going down across the fashion industry, red carpet dressing is in flux, too. Some labels in a transient period, like Balenciaga and Loewe, dressed talent in the works of their outgoing creative directors (Demna and Jonathan Anderson, respectively), while Sarah Burton and Haider Ackermann offered some insight into their modi operandi at Givenchy and Tom Ford. Bottega Veneta, which had a quieter festival, straddled Matthieu Blazy's telltale style while also offering a sneak preview of Louise Trotter's vision.
While many celebrities stayed loyal to their contracts (Kristen Stewart and Margaret Qualley at Chanel; Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lawrence at Dior; Emma Stone and Cate Blanchett at Louis Vuitton), others had the freedom to roam. Free agent Elle Fanning wowed in Chanel, Gucci, and Valentino, while Halle Berry, Alba Rohrwacher, and Juliette Binoche—all jury members—turned to a variety of brands.
Below, we examine what brands celebrities wore on the Croisette for the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
Louis Vuitton
It was the usual suspects for Nicolas Ghesquière: Cate Blanchett, Emma Stone, Alana Haim, and Renate Reinsve donned scultural peplums, drop waists, and funky collars.
Dior
Maria Grazia Chiuri leaned hard into the classics, recreating the 1949 Poulenc dress for Jennifer Lawrence and the Junon for Natalie Portman. Still, there were more modern pieces on the carpet, as seen on Jenny Slate, Halle Berry, and Juliette Binoche.
Chanel
The Chanel studio kept busy this Cannes, from Kristen Stewart's red carpet short suit to Elle Fanning's pale blue princess dress. Customs aside, Margaret Qualley pulled a spring 1990 haute couture dress, while Halle Berry wore a floral new-season pantsuit.
Gucci
Ahead of Demna's takeover, the Gucci studio created a swathe of custom gowns, from Elle Fanning's floral, body-hugging number to Dakota Johnson's fringed, paiette-covered dress. While they generally kept it neutral and muted, Viola Davis stood out in a flowing yellow dress.
Saint Laurent
While nudity was banned, Anthony Vaccarello's Cannes looks were nothing if not sexy. Alexander Skarsgård wore thigh-high leather boots, while Bella Hadid's black dress for Opening Ceremony still featured plenty of skin.
Prada
Mrs. Prada and Raf Simons stayed busy in both the men's and women's departments. Charming suiting, colorful satin dresses, and quirky drama were all par for the course.
Valentino
Alessandro Michele kept relatively quiet this time around, but that didn't stop him from fashioning a plunging champagne dress for Elle Fanning to wear to the premiere of The Mastermind.
Tom Ford
Haider Ackermann is still in the early days of red carpet fashion, and his fringed lilac long-sleeve dress for Julia Garner generated lots of buzz.
Miu Miu
While we generally don't think of Miu Miu as a menswear brand, A$AP Rocky's photocall look was just as exciting as the red carpet gowns we saw on Cara Delevingne, Barbara Palvin, and Aja Naomi King.
Balenciaga
Demna may be at Gucci now, but his impact was very much felt on the Croisette. While his idiosyncratic looks were still present (see: Isabelle Huppert in a backwards denim dress), we also saw his more straightforward eveningwear on Juliette Binoche, Alexa Chung, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
Givenchy
Sarah Burton honored Givenchy's heritage in a vintage recreation of a 1956 haute couture dress for Rooney Mara. But she also showed us her POV, dressing Diane Kruger in a banana yellow coat dress with skewed proportions and an oversized bow to boot.
Alaïa
Pieter Mulier's Cannes M.O. was sexy and sleek. And who better to model that than Rihanna and Naomi Campbell?
Schiaparelli
Cannes proved a lowkey affair for Daniel Roseberry, but he still managed to show off his range, from a brown satin ribbon dress on Ryan Destiny to an embellished strapless dress on Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu.
Bottega Veneta
Bottega Veneta walked the line between old and new. Vicky Krieps modeled Matthieu Blazy's vision while Julianne Moore debuted Louise Trotter's red carpet stylings in a one-shoulder dress.
Loewe
Pom Klementieff made a splash on the red carpet in a sculptural lavender dress with a plunging neckline from Jonathan Anderson's last collection. He may have moved on to Dior Men's, but his Loewe made a quiet impact at the festival.
Calvin Klein Collection
One look is all it takes, and Pedro Pascal proved that in this sexy, low-cut shirt.

Sunday Conversation: Amy Berg On Her Stunning Jeff Buckley Documentary
The Nineties had a lot of seminal rock and alternative albums. Off the top of my head – Soundgarden, Superunknown; Hole, Live Through This; Portishead, Dummy; Nine Inch Nails, The Downward Spiral; of course, Nirvana's Nevermind; Radiohead's OK Computer and my personal favorite, The Afghan Whigs, Gentlemen. But a quarter of a century after the Nineties ended you can make a strong argument the single most enduring album of that fertile period for rock and alternative is Jeff Buckley's brilliant Grace, an album that now stands squarely in the pantheon of greatest albums ever. As Buckley's massive legacy grows exponentially larger, a la Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin. Nick Drake, Amy Winehouse and others 28 years after his tragic drowning, Buckley has become an almost mythical figure in music for good reason. Imagine making one album and the likes of Chris Cornell, Alanis Morissette, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page sing your praises. One album that is near perfection and then tragically gone. Like so many, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Amy Berg has been haunted by the profound depths of Grace. After years of trying, she has finally turned that fandom and fascination into a riveting must-see documentary, It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley. I spoke with Berg about the stunning peak into the life of a true genius and enigma. Steve Baltin: Congratulations on the film. Looking back on it now, do you think it was the record? Or was it the story that called to you? Amy Berg: I think it was the death and the posthumous impact. He stayed my favorite for so long. I just never got Jeff out of my system. So, his passing really affected me, I would have to say. He had such an angelic kind of voice, he spoke so deeply to me. The music is timeless. It felt unique and it was hard to describe why. So, I wanted to make a film about the enigma of this album and this person and how it encompassed so many different themes for him. Baltin: Did making the film solve the mystery a little bit of why this album speaks so much to you? Berg: I think it did. I don't know that it solved the mystery, but I think that it did what I set out for it to do, which was to create the experience of Grace in a visual hour and 46-minute sitting. So, I feel like that is where my joy landed on this. I felt like you could experience Baltin: I think part of what makes Grace special is there is a mystery to it. No one else in the history of the world that could have made this record. Berg: Right. But I think the added intimacy of his story helps to make it more tactile for me. Baltin: The film is wonderful, and I learned a lot about Jeff, even though I've been a fan and written about him extensively for years. It's an amazing story. Berg: Yeah, and I felt a similar way that I'm describing when I watched Montage of Heck the first time in a theater and I felt like I was inside of Nirvana's music and their world in a way that I missed so much. That's what I wanted to do. Baltin: It made me rethink him in a lot of ways and in good ways. But I've always seen parallels between him and Nick Drake, who's one of my favorites of all time. I've interviewed Joe Boyd, who was Nick's producer several times. Something he said to me always stood out; he said that he believed part of the reason Nick died was from a broken heart because nobody appreciated his music. It's interesting. Now, I start to think watching this film, maybe Jeff and Nick were opposites, because maybe it was the fact that everybody loved Jeff's music so much that tormented him. Fame is the most dangerous drug there is. Berg: Exactly. And that is a great way to put it. Yeah, I think that had a lot to do with his inner voice that was constantly gnawing at him. Baltin: What were some of the things that surprised you most about him? Berg: I learned a lot about him. I didn't know that much about him personally. And I think what surprised me was possibly how hard he was on himself about everything that was unresolved in his life. I think it makes sense when you consider how unresolved his relationship was with his father. That would make sense, and just how much remorse he had for his breakup with Rebecca, and the disagreements he had with his mother, how much that weighed on him. I think that probably surprised me a lot. The feelings that you experience when you listen to his songs after not hearing them for quite some time is so massive that I guess this was different because I was listening to it every day for many years. So, I look forward to having a break from it and coming back to it again because there is nothing like that feeling of just hearing 'Lover You Should've Come Over' after not hearing it for a couple of years. Baltin: I love the scene with his father's tribute concert and the way that was portrayed with the animation and everything. And I know several people who worked with him at Columbia and everyone had wonderful things to say. So that one scene where he was asked about his dad's music, and he's like next question, is so telling. Berg: I also want to say when you say things that surprised me about him, the other thing that I really spent time massaging this into the film and a few different scenes is the impulsiveness of his personality and his behavior was also something I didn't understand until I laid it into his life. It made his death make a lot more sense to me. He just was so impulsive that obviously the water looked so beautiful and there was no thought about the undercurrent or the dangerous aspects of jumping into the Wolf River. Baltin: That's such a complex thing. Do you feel like you have a better understanding of what happened with that? Because probably not even he knew what was happening at that time. Berg: No, but I've noticed since that a lot of the most empathetic artists that I've done some research on had similar behavioral traits of just thinking they were invincible and lacking impulse [control]. And I think that goes along with this empathetic persona. Baltin: Who are the artists you found to be similar? Berg: Chris Cornell, who he was very close with, would do somersaults downstairs and go from one balcony to another. And I've heard similar things about Kurt Cobain in terms of impulsive behavior. And other similarities, according to Andy Wallace, who produced Jeff's album, there were a lot of similar character traits that they had carried. Baltin: Chris said something so interesting to me once. He said that great frontmen don't come out of high school standouts or athletes or whatever, they come out of the outcasts. You have Jeff talking there about being bullied and I'm curious how that impacted him, because one of the things I found over the years is it is hard to make that adjustment from being the outcast to having everybody love you. Berg: Totally. And that there was a lot of evidence of that in his archive. Especially when he was featured in People magazine. He was obviously teased because he was little. He was slight. He was five-four and had very beautiful feminine delicate features. And one time, when his mom came to visit him, he was with Michael [Tighe], who was in the film, and they were walking back to his apartment, and he pulled Michael [in] and kissed him on the lips. And he said, "Look, mom, I can kiss a boy on the lips and nobody's going to make fun of me,' just trying to be fluid before that was a thing, I guess. Jeff initiated a lot of conversations about feminism and fluidity without having to say it, I loved all of that about him. We were in the midst of the Women's March when I first started making this film. That language was right in the forefront, and I was noticing so many similarities between Jeff's language and what the Women's March leaders were saying. He was 25 years earlier and already speaking in that way and it was beautiful. He had such an open mind. Baltin: Some people just feel like they don't fit in the world. I think sometimes people can be cursed with too much knowledge. Berg: Right, it's like Ben Harper saying that Jeff's feet didn't seem to be touching the ground and real life was scary in many ways to him. But I do believe he was trying to figure out how to have some balance at the end of his life. All the indications were there for that. Baltin: I'm not saying anything was intentional. Some people seem just too smart for the world. Berg: Right, but then there's also a theory that your 20s is for figuring that out and then in your 30s, you figure out how vulnerable you want to be, how exposed you want to be to the world. But there's so much beauty in his vulnerability.

Welsh singer Dave Edmunds 'died' in wife's arms before miraculous revival following cardiac arrest
Dave Edmunds has been hospitalized after suffering a major cardiac arrest. On July 29, the Welsh singer-songwriter's wife, Cici Edmunds, took to Facebook to detail the moment her husband of 40 years "died" in her arms before medical professionals miraculously resuscitated him. "Dave Edmunds. My beloved husband of 40 years has had a major cardiac arrest as I told you about in my previous post. He died in my arms while I desperately tried to keep him alive while trying to clear his airways from all of the fluids that come out of a human being's body when we pass away," she wrote. "As I'm on the floor with Dave dead and lots of fluid is coming out of his mouth and the other places in his body. I keep my emotions in check, even though I'm absolutely heartbroken and terrified at the shock of having my beloved husband dead in my arms," she continued. "My nurse is also on the floor right next to myself and Dave pumping away really hard performing heavy CPR." Though a nurse informed her Dave was "gone," Cici said she refused to "give in or give up on a miraculous intervention, anything to get my husband back alive." Cici said the nurse kept performing CPR on Dave, per her wishes. "Every second is vital," she said. "So no time for emotions here." Cici, who has been in the hospital herself for various health issues according to her Facebook page, said she's still in "shock" from the "horrific" experience that unfolded. "My brilliant talented funny and special Dave could really use as many people's prayers and good wishes so to speak," she wrote. "As I told you all in my previous post by a miracle they ( the doctors at the ICU operating room, intubated Dave after a miracle resurrecting him for a moment." "He very clearly has brain damage and severe memory loss etc. And the risk of yet another major cardiac arrest is high. And if that occurs there is no chance for Dave," she continued. Cici thanked all those sending well-wishes and said Dave will have a "very long journey ahead of him if he survives." "We both have. But knowing that there are kind-hearted people such as you all. Makes this tremendously difficult journey a little easier. Bless you all. Sending you all much love and light and always," she concluded. Throughout his career, Dave performed in various bands but got his big break with rock band Love Sculpture in the 1960s. In the 1970s, Dave released his first solo album, "Rockpile," which included various covers such as Dave Bartholomew's "I Hear You Knocking" and Bob Dylan's "Outlaw Blues." A representative for Dave did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
