It seems this Lebanese label ‘Cannes’ do no wrong at this year’s film festival…
Cannes 2017 has been a treasure trove of glorious gowns and bookmarkable beauty looks this week – however one designer has really had the golden touch when it comes to dressing the A-listers.
Lebanese label Elie Saab has kitted out a plethora of celebrities in ethereal floor-sweepers that make the wearer look almost lit from within.
In fact, the luxury brand – which has its main workshop in Beirut – must be among the most-worn labels at the annual French film festival this year.

Is This Sonam Kapoor’s Best-Ever Red Carpet Look? Quite Possibly…
Saab stole headlines at the festival’s opening night with a theatrical caped gown worn by Chinese actress Fan Bingbing, and followed up with a haul of glimmering gowns for a quartet of supermodels at a Chopard dinner.
The label even gave Sonam Kapoor one of her best-ever red carpet looks with a romantic blush-pink number.
However it’s the most recent range of gilded gowns that has left us particularly green-eyed (because we really don’t have any occasion – nor the credit card limit – to wear one).
Singer Rita Ora, Bollywood actress Kapoor and James Bond star Olga Kurylenko all stepped out at the 70th annual festival in nude-hued, floor-length dresses, each heavily embroidered but thoroughly unique.
Ora’s cold-shoulder-cut gown with a demure high neck and Kurylenko’s sheer and blue-beaded number both come from Saab’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection.
Kapoor’s plunging full-sleeved dress with a billowing train was, however, a custom haute couture creation.
The label also dressed supermodel Jourdan Dunn for The Killing Of A Sacred Deer screening, in a strappy number with quirky marine-themed embroidery.
Rounding out the quartet of Cannes hits this week was an artfully draped and belted combo donned by Fan Bingbing, which served up a hearty dose of French Riviera chic.
