Tendances

With all its glitz and glamour, the 74^th Cannes Film Festival didn’t disappoint. Walking the red carpet or attending photocalls in front of hundreds of photographers’ flash bulbs and under the beating sun on the Croisette, the stars came out with their best frames on. As for the Oscars and the Golden Globes, we then drew up our own list of nominees for most stylish stars and their glasses!

At the photocall for her film. Armageddon Time, the actress was dressed head-to-toe in Sixties-inspired Gucci. Her striking cat-eye shades with their horn-effect rim even threatened to eclipse her patent leather bustier mini-dress and Bvlgari jewelry.

Elle Fanning chose a simple, monastic white dress from The Row, which she made her own by adding an eye-catching twist in the shape of Saint Laurent’s New Wave cat-eye frames.

Whether in a strapless navy couture ensemble or a red tweed suit, Chanel’s muse remains faithful to the fashion house founded on Rue Cambon. Complementing her outfits to perfection, she chose dark glasses (O’Maley) for the red carpet and shades with yellow lenses (TK-2) for her photocall, both designs by Oliver Peoples, which also makes Obama’s go-to glasses.

The Un Certain Regard jury member and singer made multiple appearances, showcasing various looks. We saw him dressed down in Dior’s CD Link R1U, as well as on the famous red carpet steps in a Dior tuxedo and his favorite Ray-Ban Caravan shades.

The jury member, actress and director had ample opportunity to show off her keen sense of style and fondness for unusual eyewear; whether round or square, her shades were always oversize – see the Mirtha in matte recycled plastic by Chloé and the Bira in green acetate from Brazilian brand, Lapima.

Author of Slave Play, Broadway’s young prodigy is a fashion fan too, his eclectic style lauded on social media. His quirky looks at Cannes owed much to mask-shaped and translucent oversize square glasses, both eyewear trends for summer 2022.
