Perhaps not since Uma Thurman’s lilac Prada dress grazed the red carpet almost 20 years ago has Minimalism looked as chic as it did on Carey Mulligan at the The Great Gatsby premiere in Christian Dior Couture. Or take Naomie Harris’s silver beaded Calvin Klein Collection column and Sofia Coppola’s Louis Vuitton LBD, here to prove it may finally be the moment for clean elegance again on the red carpet, and what better place to inaugurate that than La Croisette at Cannes?
For the second half of the Cannes film festival, leading ladies threw caution—and etiquette—to the wind, opting for varying versions of the white dress: from Jennifer Lawrence’s silk faille Dior bustier to Solange Knowles’ Stéphane Rolland jumpsuit. We’re willing to bet that whoever said never to wear white before Memorial Day hadn’t met these women. We also couldn’t resist throwing in classically chic Audrey Tautou with her pixie cut and color-blocked Prada; she was the epitome of high-festival style.
