At this year’s Cannes Film Festival, 23 works screen in competition for the 65th Palme d’Or. And while this collection of flicks is sure to include some new classics, there’s just one problem with watching them all: In the dark of the theater, no one can see what you’re wearing. Over the decades, the world’s most famous celebration of new movies has come to be cherished by the fashionistas as much as it’s cherished by the cinéastes, and every premiere red carpet, photocall, and after party is mobbed with photographers and paparazzi. The pictures are then sent out all over the world.
So what have these image dispatches told us so far? Halfway into the festival, we take a look at the hits, misses, trends, and triumphs of the red carpets of Cannes.
