The Cannes Film Festival is all about celebrating the best in cinema from around the world. Held annually on the French Riviera, it’s a glamorous event where filmmakers, actors, and industry insiders gather to premiere new films, attend parties, and, of course, walk the iconic red carpet. This year’s 77th edition is taking place in Cannes, France, from May 14 to May 25, 2024.
So far, the festival has seen a star-studded turnout, with big names like Selena Gomez, Eva Green, and Demi Moore gracing the red carpet. Bollywood is well-represented too, with stars like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Kiara Advani making stunning appearances. The Middle East isn’t left out either, with celebrities such as Nadine Labaki and Yasmine Sabri adding to the glamour.
This year, Middle Eastern designers are yet again making waves on the red carpet. Elie Saab and Zuhair Murad have wowed everyone with their dreamy, elegant gowns, while Rami Kadi and Jean Louis Sabaji are turning heads with their bold, avant-garde creations. These designers are showcasing the rich fashion heritage and innovative spirit of the region. To complete these looks, exquisite jewellery from Middle Eastern artisans adds that perfect touch of elegance.
