The Cannes Film Festival has long been a stage for iconic fashion. From Princess Diana's timeless powder-blue Catherine Walker halter neck to Grace Kelly's classic Riviera glamour and Madonna's daring Jean Paul Gaultier bullet bra in the '90s, its red carpet consistently showcases legendary and trendsetting looks.

These days, with an unofficial “naked ban” imposed on the Croisette ahead of the festival, stars shifted towards a more traditional, arguably faintly bridal, approach.

This year, the red carpet transformed into a dreamscape of white, frothy, and occasionally meringue-like ensembles, perfectly suited for a wedding aisle. We saw Kristen Stewart, a low-key newlywed herself, in chic monochrome tailoring, and Rooney Mara radiating in ethereal Givenchy, setting a distinctly matrimonial mood. Romee Strijd and Elsa Hosk brought a Victoria's Secret Angel twist to fairytale gowns, while Simone Ashley sparkled in a classic corseted Vivienne Westwood.

So, to all 2026 brides or laid-back 2025 brides but still don’t have their look locked: forget the bridal magazines. The Cannes red carpet is delivering this year's most scene-stealing bridal wear styles.
