Cannes 2026 Red Carpet Shifts from Vintage to Current-Season Dressing
The 2026 Cannes Film Festival concluded with Jordan Firstman's directorial debut 'Club Kid' selling to A24 for $17 million after a bidding war. On the red carpet, stars like Demi Moore, Ruth Negga, and Kristen Stewart wore custom and fresh-off-the-runway looks, signaling a shift away from archival dressing. Bella Hadid in custom Schiaparelli and Anastasia Andrushkevich in a power blue chiffon gown recreated iconic looks, while others like Cate Blanchett and Chloe Zhao opted for current-season designs. Stylist Tara Swennen noted that Cannes has become tied to luxury-brand partnerships and ambassador dressing, with new creative directors placing debut collections. Kristen Stewart wore Chanel spring 2026 couture and fall 2026 looks, while Demi Moore wore Gucci resort 2027 just days after its show. The trend suggests in-season collections are back on top.
