CANNES FILM FESTIVAL 2023

 

From walking the Croisette or ascending those iconic red stairs, the Cannes Film Festival produces some of the most lavish step and repeats in the world.


The Cannes Film Festival showcases the creme de la creme of the film and fashion elite. On par with the Oscars and Met Gala, the fashion debut on the Cannes red carpet is all glitz and glamour that one wouldn’t see from other film festivals like TIFF or Venice. Typically held in May at the Palais des Festivals et des Congres in Cannes, France, the Cannes Film Festival is the world’s most prestigious and publicized film festival.

Every year the festival previews the new and most discussed international films of all genres (including documentaries) from around the world. This year’s line-up is just as spectacular as ever with films like Wes Anderson’s 'Asteroid City’ with Margot Robbie, Maya Hawke, and Scarlett Johansson, ‘The Idol’ starring Lily-Rose Depp and the Weeknd, ‘Indiana Jones (the reboot)’ featuring Harrison Ford and Pheobe Waller Bridge, and Martin Scorsese’s ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ anchored by Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, Robert De Niro, and Brendan Fraser. The surplus of stars at this year’s Cannes have given us some of fashion’s most iconic moments and most sparkling red-carpet premieres.

Below is an overview of this year’s best style moments from Cannes.

MOTHERS DAY GIFTS

 

Celebrate all the wonderful mothers in your life with these fail-safe gift ideas.


Whether you’re shopping for your mom or a close friend who just had a child, the best Mother’s Day gifts are those from the heart.

The best place to start, when shopping for the mom in your life (or anyone, really), is to take stock of what she already owns and loves.

What are her hobbies or passions? Is she a devoted Yogi who finds her grounding on the yoga mat? Does cooking a new recipe to get her creative juices flowing? Whatever her ‘thing’ is, choose a gift that will help improve her engagement during this most precious and needed “me-time.”

Does she wear a particular bracelet everyday no matter the occasion? Consider gifting her a pair of earrings to match! Or even, a charm that represents her personality that she can attach to the bracelet.

Does she have a favorite color? Choose a handbag or scarf with her preferred color. Incorporating this fun detail into gift giving is a creative opportunity not to miss!

In the end, a great gift for the mom in your life doesn’t have to be an over-the-top indulgence for it to bring her joy and make her feel appreciated — it’s about paying attention to what makes her so special.

Celebrate your mom with these must-haves from the gift guide below.

STYLE LIKE: 2023’s “IT”-GIRL, SOFIA RICHIE

 

Shop 2023 must have looks inspired by this year’s ‘IT’ girl — Sofia Richie.


Model and designer, Sofia Richie, who is also the youngest child of legendary singer Lionel Richie, married the love of her life, music executive and founder of 10K Projects, Elliot Grainge, in the South of France.

At the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, the couple exchanged their vows among the likes of Cameron Diaz, Benji Madden, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Joel Madden and other celebrities who flew to the South of France for the whirlwind wedding weekend. 

Thanks to Vogue’s coverage, the world got a glimpse — and thus, fell in love with—of Richie’s chic, minimalist style aesthetic. 

The social media frenzy that transpired when Vogue shared images of Richie in all three custom Chanel wedding looks, cemented Sofia Richie as this year’s style inspiration and ultimate ‘IT’ girl. 

Richie’s effortless style perfectly encapsulates this year’s biggest fashion trend of ‘quiet luxury’. Her minimalist aesthetic and effortless style is the new covetable style inspiration.

Richie’s sophisticated and effortless approach to fashion shined a renewed light as to why this year’s biggest fashion trend was indeed, ‘quiet luxury’.
