Saturday marked the Cannes Film Festival 2025 closing ceremony, and with it came a parade of elegant looks — and footwear. Jane Fonda, Halle Berry, Elle Fanning and more put their stamps on red carpet style at Cannes, all opting for ethereal looks.
Jane Fonda paired gold caged block heel shoes with a silver take on the 3D floral trend. The actress wore a gown consisting of a floral-embellished bodice and a gauzy chiffon-layered skirt. Fonda accessorized with silver drop earrings and diamond rings.
Berry went with a similar neutral palette, bringing drama and intrigue with texture. The actress and Oscar winner wore a high-neck lace gown with a raw hem, cinched at the waist by a black velvet bow belt. Berry completed the look with a statement ring.
Fanning also wore a dress cinched at the waist with a black velvet belt with a bow. The actress, whose film “A Complete Unknown” won the Grand Prix Award, radiated in a voluminous powder blue gown consisting of tiered tulle and metallic silver trim along the neckline and straps. Along the back there was more sparkle, with a placket of tonal blue gemstone buttons. Fanning paired the frothy gown with a diamond collar necklace and diamond tennis bracelet by Cartier. She was styled by Samantha McMillen for the occasion, who shared on Instagram that the gown was custom Chanel haute couture.
