Celebrities at the L’Oréal Paris Women of Worth Dinner
The L’Oréal Paris Women of Worth Dinner took place during the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday evening, bringing together many of the brand’s ambassadors for one of the more elegant off-calendar gatherings of the week.
Heritage In Haute Couture
When I saw Alia Bhatt, my immediate thought was: why save this for an event on the sidelines of Cannes? This custom Tarun Tahiliani creation is stronger than anything she has worn on the Palais des Festivals red carpet so far.
There was a time when international stars regularly embraced looks that nodded directly to their heritage before the pull of global luxury branding shifted things in another direction. While some may instantly read the silhouette as Vivienne Westwood-inspired, this design was actually rooted in the reinterpretation of Indian chintz textiles through a contemporary couture lens. The deep burgundy and muted ivory palette, Victorian-inflected corsetry, and fluid sari-inspired draping came together in a sculpted silhouette that felt rich in detail.
Her Sunita Shekhawat jewels, alongside brooches from Amrapali Jewels and Anmol, completed the look beautifully. More of this, please.
We Are In A T-Shirt Ballgown Era
So everyone is doing the t-shirt ballgown thing now, and it’s fascinating that Cannes delivered two versions of the idea in one day. Demi Moore’s AMI Paris black-and-white gown had much stronger proportions than Hannah Einbinder’s earlier attempt, largely because the fitted black top flowed more naturally into the voluminous ivory skirt. I still think the hem could have been slightly shorter to sharpen the overall line, but this was one of the cleaner executions of the trend we have seen so far. Chopard jewels completed her look.
Texture At The Hem
Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu wore an Egonlab strapless feathered gown, although the full impact of the texture was only really revealed towards the hemline. For Philippine the look and the silhouette read relatively minimal, with Pomellato jewellery injecting some evening dazzle.
Return Of The Mack
Between Jennifer Lopez and Heidi Klum, Julien Macdonald is slowly coming back into the fashion conversation. he British designer used to dominate this red carpet throughout the 2000s and 2010s, and Heidi’s feathered one-shoulder embellished caftan tapped directly into that era of unapologetic glamour she has always been drawn to.
Reliable Glamour
Jane Fonda wore Pamella Roland with Pomellato jewellery, continuing her run of classic red carpet glamour. The silhouette was elegant, the styling refined, and at this stage she knows exactly what works for her on these carpets.
