Blake Lively’s fashion choices at the Cannes Film Festival have been a mix of hits and misses. One of her less impressive moments was the burgundy Gucci gown she wore to the “Grace of Monaco” premiere in 2014, which failed to stand out on the red carpet due to its color and column shape. However, she quickly redeemed herself with a stunning Chanel dress the following day, featuring a sparkle-covered design and a fitted waistband.
Another standout look from Lively was a crystal-covered minidress she wore to a Chopard event, showcasing her ability to make a bold statement even in a festival known for its formal attire. On the other hand, a magenta coat she wore in 2014 missed the mark, resembling more of a night robe than a winter jacket.
In 2016, Lively’s white ensemble upon arriving in Nice, France, was praised for its coastal vibe, while her red jumpsuit for a “Cafe Society” photo-call fell short of making a lasting impression. Yet, she bounced back with a dazzling Atelier Versace gown at the “Cafe Society” premiere, featuring cutouts and cascading crystals.
One of her most iconic Cannes moments was the blue Atelier Versace gown at the “BFG” premiere in 2016, confirming her pregnancy in a sparkling and elegant fashion. However, her powder-blue gown at the “Slack Bay (Mа Loute)” premiere seemed a bit juvenile for the Cannes red carpet.
While Lively’s fashion choices have varied, her ability to balance glamour and boldness has left a lasting impact on the Cannes Film Festival’s style history.
