The Worst-Dressed Celebs At 2025 Cannes Film Festival

Just over a week after the worst dressed celebs at the 2025 Met Gala graced one of the most important red carpets of the year, another red carpet has been rolled out. The 2025 Cannes Film Festival has arrived, and as it does every year, it's brought us the coolest celebs in the chicest ensembles. It has also brought a few stars in outfits that made us say "we Cannes not believe they wore that."

Fashion is always a big part of the Cannes Film Festival, and this year, it was an even hotter topic than years past. As of 2025, the powers-that-be put some updated outfit guidelines in place. According to the new dress code, "Voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theater are not permitted," and "for decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival." There were already some rules for attire at the festival. Celebs typically never wear flats for the occasion and are almost always dressed to the nines. Still, these new rules put a different twist on things and even forced some stars to switch gears with their outfit when time was running out. This could be the reason behind the outfit flops, or perhaps it's just a case of poor taste. Either way, we've got the worst dressed stars at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival so far.

Eva Longoria hit the red carpet in a Tamara Ralph gown with a long train — but presumably not long enough to break the new rules. Longoria's fashion faux pas came in the form of a dress with a unique, shiny, paving stone-esque texture and a sculptural pseudo-crumb catcher bodice. While this unique neckline was clearly meant to be different and make a statement, the idea didn't translate well, making it look ill-fitting and just a bit off. All in all, the idea behind this look didn't quite work in execution.

Labubus may be all-the-rage on TikTok, but that doesn't mean you should dress like one of the furry little guys on the red carpet. Alessandra Ambrosio's draped green gown was certainly a beautiful color on her, and the fit, itself, was elegant and glam. The fluffy sleeves, however, definitely took this outfit in a weird direction. What was the idea here? What was the vision? Did she look at this dress and think "not enough matching faux fur?" We don't know, but we think she should've ditched this accessory.

Farhana Bodi came up with a great hack to get around the "no big trains" rule while still making a big impact with her 'fit. Rather than adding all that fabric around the bottom of her dress, it was wrapped up around her head. The result left her looking like a Barbie-core frilled lizard. Between the color and that big dramatic shawl, this was a little too out-there for us.

If you forgot to make your bed this morning, allow Halle Berry to be your reminder. Everything about this look was a miss. The dress was high drama, and her jewelry made it appear even more formal. Yet, her messy bob looked very casual for the rest of her ensemble. Furthermore, while we're aware that Berry didn't actually get the front of her dress stuck in her underwear when she was going to the bathroom, it certainly gives off that vibe. Overall, this look was just messy and incongruous. 

Pom Klementieff wore a Schiaparelli dress for the occasion, but it almost looked like she wasn't wearing anything, at all. "Sex and the City" fans know that "the naked dress" has a time and a place, but this version wasn't quite working. Klementieff just looked a bit too monochromatic from head to toe. Her dress perfectly matched her skin color, as did her hair color, and her slicked-back bun was another detail that made this look feel overly simple, pared-down and ... well ... naked.

Isabeli Fontana's shiny beige gown was all about the draping. While this can certainly create a cool and dramatic silhouette, in this case, it just made it look like Fontana draped herself in some fabric and called it a day. The draping and the color on her weren't ideal, but it was the large, intricate brooch that really made this outfit a miss. From afar, that detail made it look like she let a bird make a nest on her shoulder.

The bubble skirt is one trend that has as many haters as it does fans, if not more. Daphné Bürki's Cannes Film Festival look is a great example of why. In addition to the bubble hem trend, Bürki also took on the micro miniskirt trend with this look. Pairing this unique hemline with a big, voluminous cape and some truly unique footwear that had serious clown shoe vibes, this ensemble was a bit of a mess.

Paola Turani went for some major ice queen energy in a silvery Tony Ward couture ensemble. Unfortunately, while the bottom half did capture the ice queen look, the top half was a bit more business meeting-ready. Pop a collared shirt under that blazer with some black pants, and Turani would have been ready to give a presentation in front of a boardroom. Choosing, instead, to style it with cleavage and a satin-y, flowing skirt for the red carpet didn't work.

Was Tim Burton Hofit Golan's stylist for the Cannes Film Festival? Because, we can't help but see a resemblance to one of his iconic characters with this unique look. With the white hue, sparkles, and high drama, this look definitely gave off some bridal vibes. Yet, the exposed legs and complicated detailing around the neckline took it in a slightly more circus-y direction. This look clearly aimed for glitz and glam, but the result was just a mess of ornate details.

Angela Bassett's fashion inspiration for the Cannes Film Festival must have been something along the lines of a peach popsicle; we're just not sure why. In this shade, Bassett's pants and matching floor-length jacket actually didn't feel quite elevated enough for the occasion. While the sequins added a funky detail to the 'fit, they also didn't look like a detail that would be on a particularly high-quality look. Overall, this reminded us of the business casual version of something a tween would've bought at Limited Too in the early aughts.

On May 15, 2025, Diane Kruger hit the Cannes red carpet in what appeared, at first glance, to be a bit of an error in undergarment judgment. In reality, this odd neckline was probably just a funky detail of her gown. However, it looked like she had gone for a makeshift bra under a see-through dress. This was odd enough on its own, but she paired it with a headband that didn't really look red carpet-ready, making this look even messier.

Hayley Atwell matched the red carpet in a bold gown that reminded us of a parrot spreading its wings to fly. Without the detailing around the waist, this gown would have looked like an extra dramatic mermaid silhouette. With the strange fabric in the middle, however, it really looked like her dress had a pair of wings. Not only was this strange, but it took away from the rest of her glam look.

There weren't too many men on the Cannes red carpet who looked worst-dressed-list-worthy. This is mostly because there weren't too many men taking fashion risks, and those who did mostly pulled it off. However, Harris Dickinson put a twist on the classic suit that wasn't our favorite. He kept his double-breasted suit jacket buttoned up to the top with nothing but his white collar peeking out. This overwhelmed him and made him look trapped in his clothes, and his go-to pose didn't help, either.

Shanina Shaik seemingly aimed to put a fun twist on peplum with her unique black gown. While we love an interesting update on a classic look, this one was a flop. The structured detail around her hips was a bit too harsh, and it looked out of place. It was hard to look at Shaik's look without seeing a top hat with a skirt underneath it. Overall, the whole look would have been better without the detail around the middle.

Kristen Stewart was pretty in pink at Cannes, but the way she executed this look was not so pretty. The shorts and top reminded us of the classic Chanel suit that definitely isn't the style we expect from Stewart. It looked like she tried to spice up that look with some dyed hair, a sheer skirt, and a bare midriff, yet the juxtaposition of elements here felt messy, rather than cool.

If you ever feel inspired to dress up in a furry purple ensemble, brace yourself for the inevitable Grimace comparisons to roll in. Julia Garner had downright spooky vibes in this lavender dress, and it's hard to tell what she was going for. It would have been difficult to style this outfit in a way that would have made it a hit, but her slicked-back hair and dark lipstick just made it look even more like she was some sort of villainous character from a kids' show.
