Each year, the stars converge on Cannes, France for the Cannes Film Festival, one of the most popular film festivals in Europe. Filmmakers from around the world bring their best work to compete for the coveted Palme d’Or, the award given to the director of the competition’s best feature film.
But while it’s a celebration of quality cinema, Cannes is also a hub for great fashion. And this year was no different, with stars like Kelly Rowland, Naomi Campbell, Law Roach, and Giancarlo Esposito showing up and showing out all around Cannes.
