The best and worst celebrity outfits at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival so far

The stars are out at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

This year’s event kicked off on Tuesday with an opening ceremony and the premiere of the French film “Leave One Day.” The festival will continue until May 24, providing nearly two weeks of French street style and red-carpet fashion.

And celebrities are already arriving in bold ensembles.

From Bella Hadid to Halle Berry, here are the best and worst looks we’ve seen so far.

Tom Cruise looked sharp in maroon.

Cruise attended a promotional event for “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” at Cannes on Wednesday.

In doing so, he became one of the best-dressed men at the festival so far this year.

He wore a fitted, textured knit polo and matching trousers with sharp pleats. The outfit was understated and vibrant on its own, while his brown dress shoes and dark sunglasses gave it an edge.

Halle Berry made a last-minute fashion change, but her new outfit didn’t work for her.

When Berry walked onto the Cannes red carpet, she wore a shapeless Jacquemus gown with a black-and-white stripe print.

She later told reporters that she’d originally planned to wear an “amazing dress” from Gaurav Gupta, but had to find a new look when Cannes announced a new dress code that prohibits voluminous gowns with long trains the day before the festival began.

Unfortunately for Berry, the bold dress she chose was so flowy and oversize that it seemed to wear her, when it should have been the other way around.

Isabeli Fontana could have been mistaken for a princess in a metallic gown.

Nicolas Jebran designed her halter gown. The form-fitting piece had knotted fabric at the hip, a floor-length skirt with a short train, and a hip-high slit that revealed her sparkling pumps.

The gown was also adorned with a sparkling silver piece that covered one shoulder and was embedded with turquoise stones.

The ensemble was elegant and fit Fontana perfectly.

Bella Hadid is always one of the best-dressed stars at Cannes, but her outfit choice for the 2025 opening ceremony was underwhelming.

Saint Laurent designed her sleeveless black dress with some interesting details. Its straps crisscrossed across her back to create cutouts and a deep plunge on the side of her chest.

However, the front of the gown was overly simple. It had an asymmetrical neckline that looked mishapen, and a thigh-high slit that was cut too far to the side.

Even her massive emerald earrings from Chopard weren’t enough to make the ensemble memorable.

Eva Longoria sparkled down the red carpet in a stunning gown.

Her Tamara Ralph gown was strapless and covered in square metallic pieces that sparkled in the light as she walked.

It also had velvet panels at the waist that gave the dress some shape and matched its glamorous train.

Not only was the dress tailored perfectly to Longoria, but the actor also accessorized strongly. She wore a statement necklace, rings, and earrings from Pasquale Bruni.

Irina Shayk wore a fun gown, but a different hairstyle could have elevated the whole look.

The model arrived wearing a black Armani Privé gown with all-over white polka dots. It had a strapless neckline, off-the-shoulder puffed sleeves, and a full skirt.

On its own, the dress was fun, frilly, and perfect for Cannes.

But Shayk wore her hair styled in a dramatic shape — a bun atop a strip of pin-straight hair — that distracted from her outfit.
