Best dressed women at Cannes Film Festival 2023

With the 76th annual Cannes Film Festival taking place, there is more to see than just movies. Hollywood’s elite made sure to dress their best while attending the prestigious film event.

The international film festival, held at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès de Cannes (Palace of Festivals and Congresses of Cannes) takes place between 16-27 May. This means that the fashion has only just begun.

One person who was in attendance and knows how to dominate the fashion scene was supermodel Dr Naomi Campbell.

Naomi, who received an honorary doctorate from the University for the Creative Arts in London in July last year, wore a sparkling, sequined dress from Celine and Chopard jewellery at the opening ceremony.

Coco was also seen wearing Naeem Khan RE14. However, not many people were fond of the inclusion of the gloves in this second look.
