The Cannes Film Festival 2025 continues to make headlines for cinematic honour and show-stopping fashion, and Day 7 delivered just that, with global stars lighting up the red carpet in unforgettable style. From Dakota Johnson's romantic fringe moment to Shalini Passi's couture tribute to India and A$AP Rocky’s monochrome sophistication, the red carpet was packed with show-stopping fashion moments. Take a look:
Dakota Johnson
Dakota Johnson stepped onto the red carpet for the 'Highest 2 Lowest' premiere in a pastel pink Gucci gown that felt like a dreamy nod to vintage glam. The cute ensemble featured a strapless silhouette, a corset-style bodice, and delicate fringe details that cascaded from the waist down.
Dakota didn't stop at the gown; she elevated her look with bold accessories, adorning shoulder-grazing, leaf-shaped dangler earrings and an oversized ring.
A$AP Rocky & Rihanna
Rapper-actor A$AP Rocky brought his signature flair to the premiere, dressed in an all-black tailored suit. His chic look featured a crisp white shirt and a sleek black tie accented with white stripes, completed with golden hoop earrings.
The real surprise was Rihanna's unexpected appearance. The beauty mogul and music icon wowed in a sky-blue dress that lovingly highlighted her baby bump.
Shalini Passi
Art patron and entrepreneur Shalini Passi owned the red carpet in a Manish Malhotra 'Longitude 77' creation, designed as an homage to India's diverse landscapes. Inspired by Paresh Maity’s celebrated artwork, the gown was a visual story, showcasing everything from Himalayan peaks to the shores of Kanyakumari.
She styled the artistic look with a commanding statement necklace and her signature glowing makeup.
Simi Garewal & Sharmila Tagore
Marking her Cannes debut, Simi Garewal looked stunning in a custom ivory ensemble by Karleo. The voluminous skirt was adorned with delicate floral embroidery, while the structured jacket with pearl-beaded detailing gave her look a royal finish. She accessorised with a glimmering choker, drop earrings, and a statement.
Sharmila Tagore, meanwhile, brought her signature grace to the red carpet in a deep green handwoven saree featuring intricate golden zari work. Her understated gold jewellery and naturally styled silver hair proved that simplicity is beautiful.
Debanjali Kamstra
Dubai-based Indian actress Debanjali Kamstra made an unforgettable appearance in a dramatic chocolate brown ball gown by Michael Cinco. Embellished with shimmering gold leaf appliqué, the gown radiated power and drama. Statement earrings and a stack of delicate bracelets finished the look, making her one of the night's boldest red carpet stars.
