No nudity, no problem: The 14 most stunning, talked-about looks from Cannes Film Festival

This weekend, the 2025 Cannes Film Festival officially came to a close - with its top prize, the Palme d'Or, being award to the Iranian revenge drama It Was Just an Accident.

But beyond the silver screen, the real spectacle was on the red carpet. The Croisette was a catwalk of high drama, with fashion looks stealing the spotlight. It was undeniably the year of the gown - including Elle Fanning and Jennifer Lawrence delivering some show-stopping silhouettes.

Meanwhile Pedro Pascal and Alexander Skarsgård gave the internet exactly what it wanted with their respective looks (that's without mentioning the viral kiss they shared after the premiere Pillion).

This year also brought a notable shift in dress code: with the ongoing trend of sheer and skin-baring looks, the festival quietly updated its dress code to state that “nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival.”

But that didn’t stop Cannes’ A-listers from making bold, unforgettable fashion statements. This year’s red carpet delivered talking-points, elegance, and plenty of sartorial surprises. Here are 14 of the most standouts looks from the 2025 festival.
