How Daisy Edgar-Jones and Dakota Johnson Wear Bold Sequins
Dakota Johnson and Daisy Edgar-Jones are sisters in bangs—and sequins. At the Cannes Film Festival, the actresses have put on a united front in how to do classic Hollywood sparkle now. Their joint approach? With a new twist that speaks not only to what's trending today, but their usual day-to-day fashion tendencies, too. Consider first Edgar-Jones's arrival on the red carpet for the premiere of The Phoenician Scheme, the latest film from Wes Anderson. The English star chose a Gucci gown, as she so often does, in a brown shade to give the otherwise simple, sparkling dress a fresh angle. Here was all the makings of a classic gown (strapless, floor length, stunning), but thanks to the deep bitter chocolate color of the embellishment, it was given a fresh angle that brought it up to speed with the decree that a brown dress is set to be summer 2025's MVP. And Edgar-Jones stuck with this memo into the evening for Kering's Women in Motion event. Arriving at the function hosted by Gucci's parent group, Edgar-Jones once again looked to the Italian house for her look (she is its current face, after all). She swapped out the earlier dress for a two-piece that delivered shine in murkier tones compared to what we usually see at Cannes, where bright shades tend to prevail amongst the sunny Côte d'Azur climate. Johnson has been playing it a little more to the book. For that same Kering event, the actress also chose sparkle. Although her approach was not as obviously obtuse as Edgar-Jones's brown pieces, it still spoke to a grittier look to classic metallics in its grey, armor-like color. The shared point of view on sparkle here makes for a textbook example in how to wear the shiny stuff if it's not your usual choice. Opting for surprising, grittier hues that perhaps already live in your wardrobe but are now delivered in embellishment could be your entry point to unlocking a whole new sartorial world.

Want a Glimpse of the New Bottega? Just Look at the Cannes Red Carpet.
This September is shaping up to be a juggernaut. The spring 2026 season will be filled with a daisy chain of almost too many designer debuts to count, including Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez at Loewe, Demna at Gucci, Pierpaolo Piccioli at Balenciaga, Matthieu Blazy at Chanel, and Louise Trotter at Bottega Veneta. Keeping track of them all is enough to make any head spin, and it's probably why brands are starting to quietly roll out off-runway teasers. And why not? A red carpet debut is the fashion equivalent of a soft launch, offering a brief glimpse of what's to come while garnering good impressions in advance of September's runway madness. Last week, Demna's hidden touch may have infiltrated the Gucci cruise show, and now, Trotter has debuted an array of custom looks at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Trotter is best known for her previous position as the creative director of Carven—which she assumed after departing Lacoste, where she delicately reinvigorated the brand with sloping silhouettes and easygoing yet editorial pieces. In January, the English designer succeeded Mathieu Blazy at Bottega Veneta, becoming the first female creative director in the brand's history. Trotter debuted at Cannes by dressing Julianne Moore, a longtime friend of the house, for The Phoenician Scheme premiere. The look was practical and pared-back in that classic Bottega way—but with a twist. On the red carpet, the one-shouldered dress turned to reveal a flowing leather tassel, anchored by a knot at the collarbone. The subtle strap was reminiscent of the handle on the brand's Kalimero bag, now a relic of the Blazy days, but a signature detail of what Bottega Veneta has become. Trotter dressed Moore again for Kering's Women in Motion event, this time in a tuxedo, accessorized with the actual bag Lauren Hutton carried in the 1980 movie American Gigolo (the intrecciato leather clutch has since been re-released in honor of the film, and is now called the Lauren 1980). Unlike many of the bold-shouldered suits or skinny jeans coming down the runway, Moore's tuxedo was a Goldilocks of sorts. Not too structured and not too slim, the cut was just right. A future aesthetic hint, perhaps? Those weren't the only Bottega cameos at Cannes. Also for the Women in Motion event, Vicky Krieps stepped out in an apron-like leather dress, this time with a tassel draped over the front. The Phantom Thread actress also appeared in two additional custom Bottega looks. The first, for Alpha's red carpet, was a strapless ensemble that emphasized subtlety, like many of the other low-key gowns seen at the festival this week. Later, Krieps made waves at the Love Me Tender photo call in a backless leather intrecciato top paired with a refined wide-legged white trouser, likely signaling that the textile experimentation will remain front and center in Trotter's designs. When approaching a debut, designers don't necessarily have to come out swinging. However, making a mark before the runway show bows certainly doesn't hurt. Before Sarah Burton's official debut for Givenchy, she made a splash at this year's Oscars dressing Elle Fanning in a white gown inspired by Hubert de Givenchy's first collection in 1952. Furthermore, both Alessandro Michele and Julian Klausner released lookbooks preceding their first shows for Valentino and Dries Van Noten, respectively. For Trotter, her rollout has been filled with soft lines and subtle evocations of house codes, leaving a touch of anticipation for what's to come.

Nicole Kidman Gives Update on ‘Fun and Witchy' Practical Magic 2
Nicole Kidman recently gave a new update, revealing more of what fans can expect from the sequel starring her and Sandra Bullock. Speaking to a crowd as part of Kering's Women in Motion talks at the Majestic Hotel during the ongoing Cannes Film Festival (via THR), Kidman spoke briefly about the upcoming sequel. The comments came while discussing what it's like to work with female directors when Susanne Bier came up. Kidman praised the director as well as getting to work with Sandra Bullock again, noting that the trio know each other so well and are excited to get back together: 'Sandy's worked with her, too, so the two of us were like, well, this is the perfect triangle because we all know each other so well and so to be able to work together on something that is fun and witchy, that's fun and it has something very different to say [than Babygirl].' Currently, information about Practical Magic 2 is mostly unknown, though WB did confirm that Bier would be directing the feature after reports of her involvement were made earlier this year. The film is said to be based on a later installment of Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic book series, but that's all we know for now. The screenplay for Practical Magic 2 is penned by Akiva Goldsman, who co-wrote the first movie. Bullock and Kidman both serve as producers alongside Denise Di Novi. Practical Magic originally released in 1998 and was based on the 1995 novel of the same name by Alice Hoffman. The film followed the tale of the Owens' sisters, who had to channel their magic to try and destroy the evil spirit of Gillian's abusive boyfriend, which had been targeting the pair. While the film didn't launch to critical acclaim, it did develop a massive cult following in the years since its release. 'Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian Owens (Nicole Kidman), born into a magical family, have mostly avoided witchcraft themselves,' a description of the original movie reads. 'But when Gillian's vicious boyfriend, Jimmy Angelov (Goran Visnjic), dies unexpectedly, the Owens sisters give themselves a crash course in hard magic. With policeman Gary Hallet (Aidan Quinn) growing suspicious, the girls struggle to resurrect Angelov — and unwittingly inject his corpse with an evil spirit that threatens to end their family line.' Alongside Bullock and Kidman, the film also starred Dianne Wiest, Stockard Channing, and Aidan Quinn. The film was directed by Griffin Dunne from a screenplay written by Robin Swicord, Akiva Goldsman, and Adam Brooks.
