Cannes Film Festival 2025: The red carpet's best-dressed from Elle Fanning to Scarlett Johansson

As ever, Cannes Film Festival has brought glamour, sophistication, and of course the best new films to the Côte d'Azur.

Each night we've been treated to a BTS look at some of the best red carpets (although this year nude and OTT dresses were off limits), and afterparties as the A-list crowd all flock to the town from 13 - 24 May.

Some of the biggest films of the festival were Emma Stone and Pedro Pascal's Eddington (which saw them subsequently get into a fight with a bee), Homebound, which received a nine-minute standing ovation, and Eleanor The Great, which marks Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut.

Of course, away from the films, the fashion was equally sought-after, and boy, did they deliver.

Here are some of our favourite outfits from the Cannes Film Festival 2025 red carpets...
