On the eighth day of the Cannes Film Festival 2025, the superstar Scarlett Johansson graced the red carpet for the first time, premiering her directorial debut film. The female cast of “Fuori” captivated with their “absolute cinematic” presence. Meanwhile, many models like Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, Elsa Hosk, and others effortlessly became the center of attention with their striking fashion choices, making a strong impression on the iconic event.
Supermodel Romee Strijd shined brilliantly in an Atelier Emé strapless gown embroidered with golden fringes. The glamorous outfit, paired with a confident high bun, epitomizes the opulence and radiant glamour that Cannes red carpet is known for, exuding timeless elegance and allure.
Singer Ellie Goulding wore a chocolate brown pleated dress by Anamika Khanna. The long scarf draping from her back resembled a whisper of allure inspired by the golden age of Hollywood glamour.
Actress Erin Kellyman brought a custom-made Louis Vuitton gown to the red carpet, striking with its all-black design that is anything but boring. The long silk and sheer chiffon dress features dramatic puffed sleeves and a pleated skirt. The transparency of the fabric creates a delicate, charming aura, enhancing the wearer’s graceful presence with an ethereal elegance.
We can always trust that model Elsa Hosk will create a fairytale-like story with high-end evening gowns, and this custom-designed Anastasia Zadorina dress is the epitome of allure at Cannes. The pastel cream color evokes classic Hollywood beauty, but it’s the feathered neckline and her sleek high bun that truly captivate the eye. Complemented by Chopard jewelry, Elsa radiates a timeless, elegant beauty that shines brilliantly on the red carpet.
Actress Mariska Hargitay made her return to the Cannes red carpet in a classic black gown by Georges Chakra. She resembled a long-time TV queen from the 1980s. The form-fitting design, combined with eye-catching metallic details and Pomellato jewelry, gave her a bold and glamorous presence, radiating confidence and éclat.
Supermodel Eva Herzigova quickly became the center of attention with her bold pink Barbie dress by Balenciaga. The design is inspired by one of the most iconic outfits in film history: Marilyn Monroe’s pink dress from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), designed by William Travilla. From the front, it appears as a sleek, long pencil dress, but in reality, it features a short, form-fitting slip underneath, with the long skirt “vail” covering it. This humorous yet classic twist is accented by black opera gloves and a dazzling diamond necklace in the shape of majestic wings, creating a playful take on timeless glamour.
It’s no exaggeration to say that all three actresses of “Fuori” delivered stunning red carpet debuts. Alongside Valeria Golino and Elodie, Matilda De Angelis also made a remarkable impression: a custom-made fishtail gown by Fendi, crafted from pink crystal mesh, with long sleeves and a high neckline, conveying a simple yet sophisticated femininity. However, the true eye-catching detail was the delicately exposed back, revealing her skin subtly and hinting at an ironic twist to the initial impression of primness.
Elodie Di Patrizi, the Italian singer and actress, brought a quintessential Prada look to the Cannes red carpet: a simple black silk dress with clean lines and a fitted silhouette that subtly enhances her curves. However, the delicate embroidered tulle belt forming the neckline and sleeves elevates the entire outfit—creating a sophisticated, elegant appearance with a hint of Gothic romanticism. Tiffany & Co. jewelry added sparkling eye-catching accents against the all-black ensemble, completing this refined and enchanting look.
Valeria Golino – the lead actress of “Fuori” – shared another memorable red carpet moment wearing a Christian Dior design. The velvet gown in a smoky pink hue features soft, flowing lines that gracefully embrace the body. Masterful tailoring and the smooth, lustrous velvet fabric create a visual effect of timeless, elegant beauty, exuding a refined, vintage charm.
Model Natasha Poly exudes glamorous elegance in an impressive evening gown by Trussardi. The cut-out details serve as a striking and bold focal point, adding a touch of sensuality. Meanwhile, the silk fabric combined with sequin embellishments enhances the gown’s opulent and luxurious spirit, perfectly suited for the glamour of the red carpet.
In Loewe’s stunning silver gown, actress Jodie Foster effortlessly becomes the focal point of the event, resembling her character in “Vie Privée.” The design features a high neckline, gathered at the waist, with asymmetric shoulder details—one side flowing outward like a shawl. As Jodie moves, the fluidity and reflective shimmer of the silver silk create a visual effect reminiscent of ancient goddesses. An ornate shell embellishment at the waist further accentuates the divine impression, elevating her presence to a celestial level.
At the premiere of “Fuori,” Naomi Campbell not only walked the red carpet but truly commanded it. She wore an ensemble from Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda’s “Les Siciliennes” collection, showcasing the ultimate luxury of Italian haute couture. The handcrafted corset was a celebration of gold threads, featuring baroque sculpted detailing and sparkling black crystals that shimmered under the flash of cameras. The flowing black voile skirt added depth and the right amount of drama to elevate the red carpet look. She also chose a different hairstyle than usual—an artfully tousled afro, reminiscent of a tribute to ethnic characteristics and the seductive allure of the 1970s.
Scarlett Johansson made her first appearance at Cannes 2025 during the premiere of her directorial debut, “Eleanor the Great,” rather than attending the red carpet of “The Phoenician Scheme,” in which she also stars. She chose a Prada outfit—a flowing sheer voile dress, a distinct departure from the silk sheath dresses that the house has been promoting on the red carpet. The bodice features delicate pleats that hug her curves, while the skirt drapes softly in layers of柔软 fabric. Paired with a pastel color palette, her look exudes a sensual yet elegant vibe. A matte red lipstick and sparkling jewelry by De Beers complete this stunning Hollywood glamour look.
