I watched. I gawked. I judged. My favorite — and least favorite — looks on the 2025 Cannes Film Festival red carpet.
The 2025 Cannes Film Festival has come and gone, but the winners and the fashion are forever. My colleague Kelsey Weekman was on the scene, making it her literal mission to attend the Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning premiere, talk to moviegoers about their favorite films/stars and (unsuccessfully) search for influencers. She also briefed us on this year's Cannes dress code policy changes, including the ban on nudity (no 'naked' dresses) and voluminous outfits (no gridlock-causing superlong trains). As a result, fewer nipples were freed at the typically freestylin' event, but celebrities still pushed the limits with fashion — and turned heads, as they do. Bella Hadid was strategic about her skin baring, Kristen Stewart left most of her buttons undone and Heidi Klum trained away because she didn't have the time to change her dress. They were among many dazzlers, also including A$AP Rocky and Rihanna, Halle Berry and Pedro Pascal. Here, we share the looks that we loved — and then some — straight outta the French Riviera. The actress, in Cannes to support her film Splitsville, was a cotton candy dream in this strapless Gucci gown with sequin embroidery and fringe. We aren't sure how Johnson stood still for a single second on the carpet. We'd just be twisting back and forth, whipping everyone around us. So much so that festival organizers would probably make a new red carpet fashion rule banning fringe. Nobody was going to rain on their parade. At the premiere of Highest 2 Lowest, in which the rapper stars, the weather wasn't in their favor, but they popped open an umbrella-ella-ella and rolled on side by side. Rocky wore a Miu Miu suit, while a pregnant Rihanna kicked off her Smurfette era (she voices the character in this summer's live-action Smurfs film) in a bright blue Alaïa dress that gave playful glimpses of her bump. The Project Runway host/judge was sorry not sorry to break the rules by showing skin and rocking a long train. Klum told Access Hollywood that organizers should 'have told us [ahead of time]' about the changes, 'not the day before.' After all, 'these dresses are planned ahead of time, fitted. ... I didn't have anything else.' So there. The Russian spy turned empowerment coach channeled her inner Cinderella in this ball gown. However, there was an overload of messaging. The girl power to the max along the bottom could have been a one and done, but then there was a giant dove, confetti, the festival palms. Some of the charm got lost. The Chronology of Water director does fashion on her own terms. The star — sporting dip-dyed pink hair — wore a baseball cap, white socks with black heels, and a mini tie with her custom white satin Chanel shorts suit that showcased her new NSFW tattoo. Stewart also wore white sneakers under her barely buttoned pink Chanel shorts suit with a sheer shirt. It was stylish, but bold and modern. Keep doing you, K-Stew. Historically, the supermodel has pushed the boundaries at Cannes, putting a lot of skin in the game. This year, she got dangerously close to breaking rules in the Saint Laurent dress she wore to the opening ceremony, with its hip-high slit, low-cut sides and a dangerously deep back, but she expertly walked the line. You can take Lee out of New York, but you can't take New York out of Lee. The Highest 2 Lowest director's love of the Knicks radiated in France as he wore an orange and blue suit, hat and eyeglasses. From his hips to the Knicks scoreboard. The Dubai Bling star and influencer dubbed herself 'Bling Barbie' in this Atelier Zuhra gown — and went all in on the pink. The pop-up petal cape twisted around her head and body, creating mandatory space between her and others. Meanwhile, that bobbing piece of pointed fabric on her dress looked like it could have doubled as a weapon. Luckily, no injuries were sustained. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FARHANA (@farhanabodi) The Succession actor kept a poker face while serving as a judge at the film festival, which is pretty much his favorite expression. Further making his love of basic brown a thing of the past, he wore muted colored outfits — light green, blue — that were mostly monochrome with matching sunglasses. He rocked bow ties like the best of them — and once again showed his undying love for the bucket hat, as only he can. The actress, who also served as a juror, had to ditch one of her planned outfits at the last minute due to the red carpet rules, but she landed on her stilettoed feet. Berry had a lot of outfit changes, given her role, and aced the assignment, whether it was day or night activities. She looked old Hollywood on closing night, gorgeous leading lady at the official dinner and was Chanel chic in between. What a pro. Wear a muscle tee but make it fashion! The Last of Us actor flexed his muscles at the Eddington photo call wearing a Calvin Klein Collection sleeveless wool tunic, matching pants and studded Jil Sander shoes. Like pretty much everything he does, the internet loved it.

‘Splitsville' Review: A Tender, Hilarious And Balanced Portrayal Of Love, Friendship And Open Relationships [Cannes 2025]
Going through a divorce is never pleasant, apart from in the latest movie by Michael Angelo Covino. After taking The Climb to La Croisette in 2019, Covino is returning to Cannes. We're still unsure why Splitsville is a 'Out of Competition' feature, as it's a work that deserves all the accolades it can get. The film is the perfect example of a work that becomes better with each scene. What starts as an explosive unravelling of marriage becomes a tender, hilarious and balanced work about love, friendship and… open relationships. Yes, 'open relationships'. You read that correctly. This edition of Cannes certainly is quite a daring one. After seeing Pillion, which features a BDSM agreement between Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling, Splitsville turns the sexiness and steaminess up a notch. There might be less nudity and sex, but there are much more parties involved. The lead cast is quite significant because of the multiple open relationships. You have the four main leads, whose dynamics will change, but also the fuckbuddies on the side, who might become more than that. In an ensemble work like this, some characters are often overlooked and/or underdeveloped because each character needs at least some screen time. However, that's not the case here. No, Covino and co-writer and co-lead Kyle Marvin take their time to cut out well-rounded characters with the necessary individuality and personality. This allows you to fully understand their true (sexual) desires and their journey. And what a journey it is, especially for Carey (Marvin), the traditional husband who wants the whole shebang (wife, marriage and kids) with Ashley (Adria Arjona). However, after Ashley abruptly dumps him on the spot – which is in the middle of the highway – Carey angrily, sadly, and most of all confused, runs to the place of his best friends Julie (Dakota Johnson) and Paul (Covino). That run from the highway to the house is already a major indicator that this work will be full of hilarious encounters and wildly entertaining moments. While there are undoubtedly be some scenes in which the cast and crew take it too far, this movie has an excellent balance between hilarity and big emotions. Paul arrives at his friends' place in the hope of finding advice, comfort, and a temporary bed, but what he gets there is much more life-changing than he could have ever imagined. After finding out that their stable marriage is based on an open relationship, a whole new world opens for Paul. A world in which there's not such a thing as embarrassment or judgment. Covino allows his characters to make mistakes, pursue unconventional relationships, and find out who they really are, even later in life. That lack of judgment and the bigger focus on what it's like to be human makes this feature so intriguing, touching and enthralling. It also certainly sets the film aside from other similar works, and even more, because this movie truly feels like a film. It's entirely shot on gorgeous and textured-looking 35mm, while it's also not too stylized, visual, and directional. Instead of relying on over-the-top cinematography, the filmmaker uses more natural-looking visuals, real-life-sounding conversation and the dynamic energy generated by the cast. This more subdued but dynamic approach ensures that the audience can truly feel what's happening on the screen while allowing the cast to immerse themselves in the role. Johnson (The High Note, Am I Ok?) certainly delivers the most multilayered performance in this work. This is because her character has to endure her unconventional marriage and, deep down, some sadness while trying to be there for her son and friend in need. It might take a while to show her fantastic acting skills truly, but once she does that, she delivers scene-stealing and remarkable acting. Equally scene-stealing but less present is Arjona as Ashley. Right off the bat of Hitman, Arjona now shows an even more hilarious performance. Her comedic timing is extremely impressive, while the sexual awakening of her character guarantees some of the most intense scenes. After Ashley discovers what an open relationship can mean to her, her plan to make her ex jealous completely backfires. Instead of Carey violently going after them, he becomes friends with them, helping them with finding work and organizing game nights. Speaking of Carey, Marvin is excellent as this loveable, laid-back, and feisty lover. What starts as a more timid performance becomes more raunchy and entertaining. That first big fight scene between Carey and Paul certainly got a massive cheer from the Cannes audience, and it's easy to see why. Marvin's electric performance becomes even more enthralling because of Covino's more physical and aggressive acting. Both men have worked together in the past (on The Climb), resulting in very naturally looking, impeccable chemistry and believable performances. Splitsville certainly is one of the best discoveries of the Cannes Film Festival this year. It's a great reminder that there are still American comedies out there that, while it doesn't take itself truly seriously, work after all. Not only because of the incredible dynamic between the cast and the absurd but entertaining script but also because of the humanness and down-to-earth aspect. The screwball comedy with a lot of heart will have you laughing out loud through its 90-minute runtime. Splitsville was screened during the Cannes Film Festival and is out in US theatres on the 22nd of August courtesy of NEON
