The fashion moments to watch out for at Cannes 2017

The Cannes Film Festival kicks off tomorrow night, with a host of stars set to descend on the red carpet, including Nicole Kidman, Uma Thurman and Kristen Stewart.

The event is a fashion spotter’s Riviera paradise, as the stars tend to choose European designer names and go for all-out Old Hollywood glamour, in honour of the festival’s 70 year history, and the film icons like Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn who came before them.

Here’s our guide to what should be the most exciting red carpet looks of the week... 

The jurors will rule on the opening night…

Uma Thurman and Jessica Chastain join the jury for this year’s competition, meaning that we can expect glamour from the off. The two Hollywood power-stylists Elizabeth Saltzman and Elizabeth Stewart work with the actresses respectively, meaning that they should make for a dramatically glamorous red carpet duo on opening night.

There will be four key Nicole Kidman moments...

Nicole Kidman is set to be this year’s queen of Cannes with four films to promote, which means her stylist Julia von Boehm will be working overtime. Von Boehm took a lot of risks with Kidman’s recent awards season looks (the actress was nominated at the Oscars and the Golden Globes for her role in Lion) and opted for quirkily embellished looks by Armani, Chanel and Gucci, the latter of which came complete with sequinned parrots on the shoulders. What to expect in Cannes? More megawatt sparkle and more big European names.

Julianne Moore and Vanessa Redgrave will hit the red carpet...

Two major stars will take to the red carpet on Thursday evening, with Julianne Moore and Vanessa Redgrave appearing one after the other. Moore will promote her role in Wonderstruck on the Grand Theatre Lumiere red carpet, before Redgrave will make her directorial debut with Sea Sorrow. We predict a Chanel showstopper from Moore’s long-term stylist Leslie Fremar, but are calling Redgrave as fashion’s one to watch, after she was spotted on the front row at London Fashion Week designer Roksanda Ilincic’s show in February.

Kristen Stewart’s anti-Cannes look...

Kristen Stewart will present her second directorial effort, Come Swim, on Saturday and, as at pretty much every Cannes Film Festival she’s been to to date, it’s likely she’ll shun a gown in favour of something a little more casual. Stewart often picks a shift-style mini-dress, or a pencil skirt and t-shirt combo, in a statement against traditional red carpet glamour, however, as said tee is usually made by Chanel, her look is still pretty fabulous.

Isabelle Huppert returns to the red carpet...

She had a phenomenal fashion run as she promoted Elle last year and, after taking a break from the limelight for a couple of months post-The Oscars, Huppert is set to return to the red carpet at Cannes next week to promote her new film Happy End. Expect more elegant Chloe dresses, more Armani Prive sparkles and more edgy jewellery from stylist Jonathan Huguet.

The supermodel set descends on Cannes...

The annual amfAR Gala always falls in the middle of Cannes and is always a supermodel-fest; Heidi Klum, Jourdan Dunn and Adriana Lima attended last year. It’s often seen as the chance for those who don’t actually work in the film industry to dip their toes into the Riviera’s red carpet scene - and the dress code is usually sparkle-y, spangly and barely-there.

Spring/Summer 2017 Fashion Trends: The 7 Looks You Need to Know

Spring/summer 2017's fashion trends have stylists, buyers, editors and anyone else who is interested super-duper, spin-around-your-closet excited. Why? Well, it's an inherently upbeat season. From the many no-holds-barred interpretations on the 1980s (think lamé, jumbo frills, shoulders, bling and legs) to the most saturated colour palette we've seen in a decade (fuschia, scarlet, heliotrope, hazmat, more fuschia!), joy is oozing from every stitch and every seam. Even stripes and florals—those two trusty pillars of the summer print lineup—are back with more bite, more verve and more tempting iterations to make you think again and look twice.
The spirit of the '80s continues via the runway's adoption of the more literal aesthetic codes as well as the decade's DIY culture—this is a season where YOU make the rules. Want to be a punk princess in one of the hundreds of see-through, peekaboo dresses designers have dreamt up in clouds of tulle and embroidery? Then you can—every day of the week. Fancy the idea of wearing whatever, whenever and however you imagine it in that moment? Then the radical mix 'n' match styling seen at some of the most influential fashion houses on the block will give you the confidence to do so. Céline's Phoebe Philo even went so far as to send her models out in mismatched shoes. Who knew?
So if you've ever thought that warm-weather trends were predictable as hell (yes, we all yawn when nautical rears its seafaring head), then this is going to change your outlook forever more. Keep reading to see our edit of the seven most important Spring/Summer 2017 fashion trends that will shape your wardrobe into a very happy place…

From Left to Right: Balenciaga, Roland Mouret, Max Mara, Emilia Wickstead, 3.1 Phillip Lim
Style Notes: At the S/S 17 shows, you will have seen more fashion editors wearing sunglasses indoors than ever before. Well, when you look at this rainbow of runway exits, can you blame them?
Pink—and lots of it—played a very bold part of the Paris Fashion Week schedule, with the likes of Balenciaga, Céline and Valentino all employing the most shocking shades of this pretty hue for demure dresses. Without frills, prints or girlish detailing, the power of pink was clear to see.
But if that isn't your vibe, take your pick from the multicolour closet of S/S 17. From Kermit green to sunshine yellow, there's only one rule: Wear LOTS of it.
