As the 2025 Cannes Film Festival nears its grand finale, the spotlight isn’t just on the silver screen-it's also firmly fixed on the red carpet. Over the past nine days, stars have turned the French Riviera into a runway, showcasing haute couture ensembles that blur the line between fashion and film. From gothic glam to ethereal elegance, here are some of the standout style moments on Day 9 so far.
Elle Fanning’s Fairytale Fantasy in Armani Privé
Elle Fanning floated down the red carpet like a modern-day princess in a pale blue Armani Privé gown at the Sentimental Value premiere. The corseted bodice featured a plunging neckline, while dusty pink floral appliques added a delicate romanticism.
Not all fashion is about flair-sometimes, it’s about feeling. Elle Fanning’s other appearance, this time in a piece by Ionut Razvan, sparked both admiration and debate. The dress, part of the designer’s emotionally-driven collection titled The Shirt You Left Me, channels personal grief into wearable art.
Cara Delevingne’s dark turn
Making a dramatic return to Cannes, Cara Delevingne surprised fans with a completely new look. The model-turned-actress debuted an inky black shaggy bob that framed her face with moody precision. Paired with sultry smokey eyes and a nude lip, the effect was moody and mysterious -very much in sync with the gothic undertone of her entire look.
Attending the premiere of the History of Sound, Cara wore a deep burgundy ball gown with thick straps and a black tulle petticoat peeking from underneath. The silhouette was classic, but the overall vibe was cinematic drama with a modern twist- think Victorian goth meets red carpet glamour.

Scarlett Johansson's boardroom cool look
Scarlett Johansson didn’t just make waves with her directorial debut Eleanor the Great-her fashion game was equally headline worthy. During the film’s photocall on Day 2, She wore a crisp white button-down layered beneath a sharp, oversized pinstripe blazer with strong shoulders and black buttons. A pleated skirt finished the look, walking the line between classic and contemporary. It was pure cinematic chic-assertive, polished, and unmistakably cool.
The story behind Coco Rocha's Elle’s Ionut Razvan dress
Coco Rocha's Elle Ionut Razvan outfit at the Cannes red carpet sparked both admiration and debate. The dress, part of the designer’s emotionally-driven collection titled The Shirt You Left Me, channels personal grief into wearable art. Each garment in the line is meant to symbolise the lingering grip of memory -whether it's a person, a moment, or an emotion we can’t let go of. It’s melancholic, poetic and introspective fashion- the kind that asks you to feel, not just look at and move on.
