There's always a lot of fashion packed into the annual Cannes International Film Festival. With all of the parties, premieres and photocalls, sometimes you don't know where to look. It's like your brain can't compute all of the stellar looks spotted in the French Riviera. Or you simply don't have enough down time to scroll through the almost endless supply of scene-stealing ensembles. So we went ahead and rounded up the best 2025 Cannes International Film Festival premiere looks.

We knew it was going to be an amazing year since both Halle Berry and Juliette Binoche are serving on the jury. Berry didn't disappoint with a striking Chanel matching set. Binoche proves she can really wear anything by selecting a hard and soft Dolce & Gabbana outfit. Remember those new red carpet rules? Forget 'em. Most attendees at the festival did. See Heidi Klum's grand Elie Saab pink gown with a train that flagrantly disobeyed the regulations.

Vintage gowns also proved popular. Natalie Portman attended the Eddington premiere in a Christian Dior creation from the early 50s. Not to be outdone, Rooney Mara stunned in a Givenchy gown from 1956 on the same red carpet.
