Star Jewelry Steals the Show on the Cannes Red Carpet

Following last week's Met Gala in New York, stars continue to dazzle on the red carpet at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, which runs from May 12 to 23. So, how did the stars look at the opening ceremony?

Over the years, the Croisette, the famous Cannes Film Festival promenade where the red carpet events take place, has been home to many exceptional moments in the world of fashion, embodying the glamour of film stars, who are considered a hallmark of this event.

As always, this year's Cannes Film Festival blends star power with cinematic excellence, despite imposing a set of restrictions on its dress code. Among the most prominent of these are the ban on loose-fitting clothing, dresses with long trains, and revealing outfits. At its opening ceremony on Tuesday evening, the stars' choice of oversized jewelry was a striking feature, adding a touch of glamour and sophistication to their looks.
