Payal Kapadia
Indian filmmaker Payal Kapadia, who is on the Jury of Cannes Film Festival 2025, has never been one to follow conventional paths. She swapped the gowns and dresses, which are staples on the red carpet, with subtly powerful ensembles. During the Jury photo call, she opted for a blue and red silk outfit by Payal Khandwala, which featured an asymmetrical skirt and a blue shirt. At the red carpet, Kapadia brought quiet power with a grey plaid pantsuit by Indian designer Arjun Saluja. She completed the look with statement jewellery
Juliette Binoche
French actress Juliette Binoche, the Jury President for this edition of the film festival, redefined elegance in two powerful ensembles. For the jury photo call, she opted for a butter yellow Jacquemus jumpsuit with dramatic lapels. On the red carpet, she stunned in a custom Dior ensemble featuring an off-white silk crepe top with a trailing veil and matching trousers
Halle Berry
Another Jury member that stole the spotlight with her style is Halle Berry. During the photo call, she turned heads in a co-ordinated set featuring a ruffled skirt and jacket. However, her original red carpet outfit, designed by Gaurav Gupta, had to be replaced by another one due to the new rules which prohibit long trains. Berry still managed to look stylish in a striped black and white trapeze dress by Jacquemus
Eva Longoria
American actress Eva Longoria stunned on the Cannes red carpet in a Tamara Ralph ensemble. The rose gold beaded gown featured a black velvet corset, exaggerated bow and sleek black train. The diamond neckpiece and earrings elevated the look
Bella Hadid
Bella Hadid is known for her bold looks at the Cannes red carpet. Now that the festival has a strict ‘no nudity’ policy, fans were excited to see her fashion choices this time. The model yet again brought her signature style to the red carpet in a sleek black Saint Laurent ensemble featuring a thigh-high slit and other cutout details
