From Rihanna to Cate Blanchett: who wore what to the Ocean's 8 premiere

This red carpet did not disappoint, with two Lebanese designers, lots of bold prints and colours, and a sequined suit

Cate Blanchett works her inimitable cool girl magic in sequin Missoni (we love how she even manages to make the racing stripes down the side of the trousers look classy). AFP

Rihanna looks like a walking botanical delight in a blooming Givenchy metallic dress. AFP

Sarah Paulson's fluorescent green fringe Prada gown has to be our favourite of the night, while Sandra Bullock opted to wear a design by Lebanese genius Elie Saab (Spring 2018 Haute Couture to be exact). AFP

Nora Lum - who goes by the name Awkwafina - looks truly regal in this Reem Acra gown - the second Lebanese designer representing on this particular red carpet. AFP

Anne Hathaway wore a statement print by Gaultier (which was paired with a bold gold necklace on the runway, which we kind of miss here). AFP

Meanwhile, Helena Bonham Carter and Vivienne Westwood continue to be a match made in heaven. EPA

We personally cannot wait to see Ocean's 8 when it hits cinemas in the UAE in exactly two weeks time (June 20 to be exact). The sequel to Ocean's 11 features an all-female lead cast (something that's sadly not that common). Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson and Awkwafina all star (what a line up).

Last night New York hosted the world premiere of the movie in New York, and the high-powered red carpet did not disappoint: we had high expectations considering the stars of the movie are all quite daring on the fashion front.

From head-turning neon green Prada to a Givenchy dress that looks like a giant purple flower, scroll through the gallery above to see what the stars wore on the night.

And here is the trailer for the movie:
