Red Carpet Glamour at the 78th Cannes Film Festival
A-list celebrities descended upon the French Riviera for the 78th Cannes Film Festival, showcasing their sartorial splendor on the red carpet. With the updated dress code in place, which prohibits "nudity" and "voluminous" dresses with "large trains," the stars pulled out all the stops to create chic, fashion-forward looks. Jennifer Lawrence, Dakota Johnson, Emma Stone, and more served up glamour and sophistication, making the festival a fashion focal point.
