The Tamesis
Every year, the Cannes Film Festival is all about making a splash: industry bigwigs gather to find out who is the hottest, up-and-coming talent in filmmaking. (This year, only younger names like Jordan Firstman or Kristine Froseth are on the radar.) That said, there’s also something alluring about Hollywood legends hanging out at the festival—and these celebrities have been doing it for years (or decades). As it happens, there were more than 50 viewers behind some of the week’s best red carpet looks.
Call it grown-up style, but these red carpet veterans bring a certain wit, elegance, gravitas and drama to the function. After all, after decades in the spotlight, these big-screen icons have clearly perfected what works for them — and they’ve got Hollywood glam. Take Dame Joan Collins in a white frilly Stephane Rolland gown last week, for example, or Jane Fonda in a figure-hugging black sequined Gucci dress; these stars have the courage to make bold moves, and they look stunning as a result.
It’s especially refreshing to see celebrities like Isabelle Huppert don a bright red flowing Gucci gown, or Demi Moore in a bright pink bow Matières Fécales dress, as ageism in Hollywood is well-documented; there’s an age-old notion that anyone over 50 needs to suddenly dress modestly or conservatively, if not completely stay out of the spotlight. But in Cannes, it is on the contrary: Stars of all ages are denouncing the restrictions and just pleasure Together with fashion, refute the idea that there are age limits to self-expression and experimentation.
Even some haute gents are creating impeccable wardrobes in Cannes – competing with the young New Hollywood hunks. John Travolta is one of them, wearing that playful little black beret that has everyone talking. why shouldn’t he Test drive a lively little starter? Love it or hate it, he’s John Freegan Travolta, people – he can and should Do what he wants! Director Pedro Almodovar stayed in casual-cool Loewe looks, while Colman Domingo went full peacock style in a purple sparkly Valentino design.
