Summary
Nineteen stars made Vanity Fair’s best-dressed list for the 79th Cannes Film Festival, with director Chloé Zhao singled out as the event’s standout fashion presence.
Three directors made the cut in a surprise shift from celebrity-heavy red carpets, while the amfAR Gala—once a Cannes fashion high point—produced no entries on the list.
Kristen Stewart earned two spots in effect with Chanel looks paired with sneakers and Chuck Taylors, while John Travolta, 72, drew notice for berets worn to mark his move into directing.
The list also highlighted couples and established style fixtures, including Barbara Palvin Sprouse’s pregnancy reveal, Bella Hadid in custom Prada, and Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton and Demi Moore as enduring Cannes standouts.
