The French Riviera’s event of the year commenced last night with the premiere of Cafe Society. Set in the 1930’s, this Woody Allen movie follows a young man’s pursuit to work in Hollywood’s film industry. Known as the Opening Gala, it is Cannes’ most glamorous spectacle, showcasing an abundance of A-list red carpet appearances. Catch up on the best-dressed stars from last night’s premiere, here.

Black Beauty

Hollywood actresses Julianne Moore and Kristen Stewart opt for a classic black colour palette to exude a chic and oh-so French look. Trends to note: sheer fabrics, gunmetal embellishment and vintage fifties-style skirts.

Hollywood Tux

Understated elegance never goes unnoticed. Actress, Susan Sarandon, wore a black two-piece suit, reflecting the traditional tux attire of Hollywood star, Justin Timberlake. Dapper in style, this look requires an air of sophistication and a strong pose. Note Timberlake’s cufflink fiddle and Sarandon’s hand in her pocket.
