The red carpet opening ceremony of the 77th Cannes Film Festival was an elegant evening. The opening film Le Deuxième Acte (The Second Act), which screened at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France, was attended by a wide variety of celebrities from around the world in their best couture pieces.
With icons like Meryl Streep, Jane Fonda, Heidi Klum and Greta Gerwig, among others, making a statement with their respective looks, here's a look at how celebrities took over the red carpet from the iconic stars at the opening ceremony.
Sharp silhouettes met opulent dresses as fashion took over the red carpet. Whether it was Jane Fonda's pre-fall 2019 Elie Saab jumpsuit with a sequin-embroidered bodice or Meryl Streep's timeless custom Dior couture gown, the red carpet was all about making a statement.
If it wasn't black or white, the color palette leaned toward the all-time favorite red. Heidi Klum turned heads in a sizzling Saiid Kobeisy couture dress. The opulent off-the-shoulder dress with a train matched Heidi's energy on the carpet. Thus adding some drama to her overall style.
You know the red carpet is incomplete without sequins and 77th Cannes Film Festival main competition jury president and filmmaker and actress Greta Gerwig did not disappoint. Dressed in a burgundy sequin dress, Greta looked stunning in the jewel tone. Juror and actress Lily Gladstone provided her company with her own sequin jewelery set.
While the silhouettes added the glamor quotient to the red carpet, it was the star-studded jewelery pieces that made the opening ceremony sparkling. From Meryl Streep's Hanut drop earrings to Fred Leighton jewelry to Taylor Hill's artistic, multi-layered luminous necklace, each design stood out on the red carpet.
The 77th Cannes Film Festival will conclude on May 25 and like every year, this year there is a wide variety of celebrities attending the festival. The opening ceremony was attended by Virginie Ledoyen, Palina Rojinski, Lea Seydoux, Vicky Krieps, Juliette Binoche, Matthias Schweighöfer, Paola Turani, Rose Bertram, Louis Garrel, Shanina Shaik, Farhana Bodi, Camille Cottin, among others.
