Cannes Film Festival continues to be the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to go-big-or-go-home fashion moments.
The annual cinematic celebration, which runs until Saturday, has delivered night after night of glamorous red carpets since it began on July 6.
The creme de la creme of Hollywood, from Salma Hayek and Matt Damon to Tilda Swinton and Marion Cotillard, have jetted into the French Rivera for the event, which was this year delayed from its usual May dates.
On Tuesday evening, the latest crop of famous faces stepped out in Cannes, with premieres for Aline, Titane and A Hero taking place.
Model Coco Rocha, actress Isabelle Huppert and Dubai influencer Karen Wazen were among the stars who donned their finest for the screening of Aline, an unofficial biopic about superstar singer Celine Dion.
Iranian director Asghar Farhadi attended the premiere of his latest film A Hero, meanwhile, joined by cast members Amir Jadidi and Sarina Farhadi.
A glitzy dinner was also held on Tuesday by luxury brand Louis Vuitton, attracting the likes of French-Algerian actor Tahar Rahim and Romanian-Jordanian designer Amina Muaddi. The French Dispatch actor Timothee Chalamet also attended the label's bash, cementing his status as Cannes' most on-trend man in a nostalgic, 1980s-inspired tracksuit jacket.
Cannes, now in its 74th year, brings together some of the film industry's most highly anticipated titles, as well as some of the silver screen's most famous faces.
The festival was cancelled entirely in 2020 owing to the pandemic. This year, Cannes has introduced an advance booking system for screenings, those attending from outside the EU must submit to regular Covid-19 testing, and mask-wearing is mandatory.
