12 Of The Best Cannes Festival Looks (So Far) That Didn't Break The New Dress Code
Bella Hadid (Princess of Cannes) features heavily in this list
The 78th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals is upon us, and while we are aware it's film that's technically being celebrated, we're more interested in the red carpet and photo call looks.
Models, actors and directors from around the world have flown into the South of France prepared with their finest designer clothes, but just last week the Festival itself announced a new dress code, no doubt catalysing some last minute wardrobe switch-ups. With nudity and XL trains off the menu (typically Cannes red carpet staples) we can't wait to see what the A-list decide to dress themselves in.
