The 2026 Cannes Festival has officially come to a close—and what a fashion whirlwind that was.
For the past two weeks, Hollywood A-listers have been traversing the famed Croisette in the South of France to promote their new films, and the festival’s red carpet has been a total thrill to spectate. Whether it was this year’s jury members delivering one knockout look after another—Chloe Zhao! Demi Moore! Ruth Negga!—or leading ladies attending their splashy premieres—Renate Reinsve! Isabelle Huppert!—there was no shortage of statement looks during the event. (Many of them custom or fresh off the runway, no less.)
From voluminous frocks to high-octane colors, the motive of the week was certainly to lean into the extravagance of Cannes. Even the suited-up men couldn’t help but up the ante—Stellan Skarsgard and Colman Domingo both brought a dash of theatricality to the mix.
And while there were loads of stars who caught our eye, there were eight notable names who stood out from the pack. Who made the cut for Vogue’s best dressed of Cannes? It was the red carpet stars who delivered several outfit changes, each one more elaborate or bolder than the next. Below, read on for the celebrities who turned the Cannes red carpet into their fashion playground.
