The Cannes Film Festival 2023 celebrates good films (obviously). But it's also become fertile ground for a specific type of European glamour. America does the baseball caps and sunglasses celeb incognito thing so well. Britain has its self-deprecating acceptance speeches and classic suits. But over the Channel, things get a little experimental; a little breathless; a little ‘a kiss to each cheek’ as audiences openly weep and cry ‘bravo!’ at landmark cinema. It's theatrical in that self-assured way only continental Europeans can pull off – and the clothes match.
Held down at La Croisette de Cannes, since 1946 the festival has seen the likes of King Charles, Austin Butler, Timothée Chalamet and Leonardo Dicaprio rock up in previous years, and each time, there's a deviation from their normal wardrobes. Sure, some adhere to the famously strict dress code (mandatory black tie jackets and ties for men on the red carpet) and some just… don't. There's Manu Ríos in Saint Laurent. Ethan Hawke in doubled-up stripes. And we're only two days into the Cannes Film Festival 2023.
