Janhvi Kapoor to Dakota Johnson: A posh pink flush is overtaking the Cannes 2025 red carpet
For the right people, pink is always THE moment. That being said, there are definitely notes to take when not one, not, two, not three, but a literal lineup of it-girls chose to be wrapped in it head to toe for the Cannes red carpet. There's nothing that's ever quite OTT for Shalini, which essentially makes her Cannes stint just another day in the life of the internet's latest obsession for a role model. For her Cannes debut, Shalini walked the red carpet in a pale pink Fouad Sarkis gown, with a bejewled halter neck carrying a cut-out detail and crystal embellishments, the latter incidentally matching her Judith Leiber clutch. The short ostrich feather stole around her arms and side-swept locks completed the look. A post shared by Shalini Passi (@ Ruffles, butterfly-esque, petals and a whole lot of feminine drama was the brief supermodel Heidi Klum followed for her first Cannes appearance this year. Dressed in a dusty pink Elie Saab number with a high-low hem and a train for days, the only detail on the dress (times 100) were the life-size petals layered atop one another. Cottage-core couture anyone? A post shared by Heidi Klum (@heidiklum) Grunge with a side of prep-core prissy has for long been Kristen Stewart's OG vibe. Chanel takes care of the latter, and details like Kristen's pink-dipped locks take care of the former. The Chronology of Water actor marked her first Cannes appearance this year in a sheer Chanel look — the almost mauve tweed shorts set from the Fall 2025 collection stood out for the sheer tulle maxi layered atop it. A tough look to pull off, but exactly Kristen's vibe. The image of Dakota Johnson doing a quick little girl-core twirl in her hyper-fringed twinkling Gucci number, will live in our heads rent-free for some time to come. There really isn't much else to decode in this 10/10 look, except adding some applause to the vine-style Boucheron's Laurier pendant earrings — this is how you create a red carpet moment. Balenciaga, pink and the subtle drama that comes with satin — this is how model Barbara Palvin sashayed down the Croisette in her ballgown. Cinched on the body, corset-style, with an open neck, mini-drop sleeves and a whole lot of poof, the slick, brunette bun with a coiffed feminine flick tied it all in together. A post shared by Barbara Palvin (@realbarbarapalvin) Janhvi Kapoor was an absolute vision in her dusty pink Tarun Tahiliani number as she made her Cannes debut, in lieu of film Homebound. The custom TT ensemble comprised of a handwoven real tissue skirt and corset, specially crafted in Benares with the signature drape adding a touch of cultural fluidity. Her face and neck framed in pearls, this Rhea Kapoor-styled look was a thorough desi serve. A post shared by Tarun Tahiliani (@taruntahiliani) Which of these landed the best for you?

Stewart's directorial debut leaves her feeling like a proud parent
Hollywood star Kristen Stewart's directorial debut 'The Chronology of Water' premiered at Cannes Film Festival and earned a four-minute standing ovation. Imogen Poots' performance was certainly a highlight of Stewart's adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch's 2011 memoir of the same name. Poots stars as Yuknavitch in Stewart's non-linear take on the bestselling writer's life, which includes shocking scenes of physical abuse by her father and her spiral into drug use juxtaposed with the poetic salvation she found from being in water. Stewart hugged everyone in the cast and crew and directed the attention toward them. After kissing her wife Dylan Meyer, she allowed the spotlight to shine on her, accepting the mic from Cannes chief Thierry Fremaux for a short speech. 'This is an absolutely insane, surreal experience to be able to be here and watch this with all of you guys. We finished the movie like five minutes ago, it's not even finished yet. We just slipped under this fucking shut door and goddamn it thank you,' Stewart said to Fremaux, before literally leaping into his arms. The long-in-the-works passion project world premiered in the festival's Un Certain Regard sidebar, which this year also features debuts from fellow actors such as Scarlett Johansson and Harris Dickinson. In addition to directing, Stewart co-wrote the film's screenplay alongside Yuknavitch's husband, Andy Mingo, reports Stewart first announced the development of 'Chronology of Water' in 2018. In her cover story for in January 2024, Stewart shared that she had been struggling to finance the movie and would refuse to act in another film until she was able to get 'The Chronology of Water' finished. She was able to do just that in summer 2024, when the movie filmed for six weeks in Latvia and Malta. The cast also includes Thora Birch, Earl Cave, Michael Epp, Susannah Flood, Kim Gordon and Jim Belushi. Stewart was honest about her struggles to get the film financed. She said it was 'near impossible' to raise money for a movie that was an original idea and not based on a proven genre or pre-existing IP. 'I think there's an entire, yet-to-be-written female language,' Stewart said. 'There's a certain physicality to the type of film that I want to make that I think will be, in a slugline, really unattractive to quote-unquote 'buyers,' but in action, is entirely pervasively moving. That has just not been an easy sell. It's not about the plot. It's about someone self-Heimliching and contextualizing why that person has swallowed their own voice their whole life.' Stewart, who has been open about her struggles to get 'The Chronology of Water' financed, said the most difficult thing about making films is finding funding and 'having the commitment, because it's a long-term investment time-wise'. Before the premiere, Stewart participated in a fireside chat for the non-profit 'Breaking Through the Lens' alongside Sonic Youth legend Kim Gordon, who also has a role in 'The Chronology of Water.'
