Cannes (France) (AFP) – One of the special aspects of the Cannes Film Festival is that it serves both as a parade of extremely expensive clothes and as a showcase for devastating films that often focus on poverty, inequality and social crises.
What should you wear to the premiere of a film about a family struggling to make ends meet (“Leila’s Brothers”), desperate African refugees forced into crime (“Tori and Lokita”), or a scathing satire of excess of the survivors? rich (“Triangle of Sadness”)?

The hot pink look featured a pouty lip image across the chest that led to more than a few double takes on the red carpet.
Other outfits that caught the attention of fashionistas included the silver mirror dress worn by Eva Longoria for the “Top Gun: Maverick” launch, the canary yellow worn by Women in Motion award winner Viola Davis, and the dress feather black chosen by Naomi Campbell.
