The glitz and glamour
The prestigious Cannes Film Festival has returned yesterday for its 72nd edition. For the opening, the biggest stars from all around the world descended onto Promenade de la Croisette to celebrate the event. Over the years, the French Riviera’s independent film festival has become one of the most-anticipated and fashion-forward red-carpet events of the year.
The eleven-day event will be filled with numerous incredible style moments, and if yesterday was anything to go by, we are definitely in for a ride. To kick off Cannes Film Festival in style, we’re bringing you all the best looks from yesterday’s opening ceremony.

We loved seeing the songstress back on the red-carpet. Selena stunned in a two-piece white ensemble from Louis Vuitton by Nicolas Ghesquiere. But all eyes were on her Bulgari jewels at the Opening ceremony and the premiere of The Dead Don’t Die.

The young actress looked like a fairytale princess in a cape-style peach dress. The ensemble featured a ruched bodice, a high-low layered hem and an amethyst-coloured pansy, which was stitched in a dozen dazzling sequins into the middle of the bodice.
