Celebrities at the ‘Fatherland’ Cannes Film Festival Premiere
Here is a look at the other celebrities who joined Sandra Hüller, Demi Moore, and Diane Kruger on the red carpet for the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Fatherland this evening.
Tailored Detour
Ruth Negga has shelved the gowns for the time being in favour of this custom AMI Paris look designed by Alexandre Mattiussi, and I have to say this was an incredibly successful pivot. To give us sleek menswear-inspired attitude that felt refreshingly different amid the sea of dramatic gowns. What really makes this work, however, is Ruth herself. She wears tailoring with the kind of ease we would expect from her. Chopard jewels completed her look.
Corseted Glamour
Aja Naomi King wore a Tamara Ralph Spring 2026 Couture pink silk chiffon gown draped around a pink asymmetric mother-of-pearl corset. Between the sculpted bodice, fluid draping, and soft train, this has to be one of my favourite looks from her at Cannes. The styling also deserves credit with Pasquale Bruni jewels completed her look.
Minimalist Mood
Chloé Zhao continued her love affair with Gabriela Hearst, this time wearing a hooded suede dress from the Spring 2026 collection. This feels entirely in line with her understated approach to red carpet dressing. The warm ochre tone and pared-back silhouette ensured that she stood apart from the sea of embellishments and volume surrounding her.
Tulle Redemption
I wasn’t crazy about either Miu Miu look we saw on the red carpet last night, but this pale yellow tulle creation accented with delicate shimmering detailing was a far stronger outing for Sara Sampaio. The soft structure through the bodice and the frothy layers gave the gown a romantic finish which I’m sure some will say is too sugary.
Sharp Tailoring
I would have given my left arm to see this Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann look on Tilda Swinton, but Polish model Małgosia Bela is totally selling this micro-beaded tailored ensemble. The elongated proportions, razor-sharp shoulders, and shimmer running through the fabric made this one of the sleekest looks of the night. It has that clean precision Ackermann does so well.
Biker Jacket, Cannes Attitude
Suzi de Givenchy delivered one of the more intriguing looks of the night in ArdAzAei from the label’s The Folded Sea Couture Collection, and I have to say, this really worked for me. The leather jacket could have easily read as too casual, and I’m sure some of you will wish she had worn the sculptural runway jacket instead, but I actually prefer this interpretation. The fluidity of the pleated skirt softened the sharpness of the leather beautifully, while the movement through the sheer skirt gave the look a real sense of drama on the red carpet. There is something refreshing about seeing couture presented with this much edge at Cannes. It feels elegant, but with a bit of attitude.
Sharp Tailoring, Soft Drama
Nadia Tereszkiewicz delivered Jonathan Anderson’s fresh take on the Dior Bar suit, complete with his signature bow detail. While this silhouette hasn’t worked in other iterations we’ve seen on the red carpet, Nadia’s version stayed true to that unmistakable couture precision we associate with the house.
Black Tie, Slightly Undone
Lyna Khoudri also opted for a Dior Bar suit, but unfortunately, nothing quite fits. Not the jacket, which is bunching at the waist, nor the trousers, which pooled too heavily at the hem. I would really love to see this look again on someone taller, or at least tailored properly, because there is potential here.
