1. Pink color
When Pierpaolo Piccioli, the creative director of Valentino, unveiled Pink PP, his special hot pink (named after his initials) during this past Paris Fashion Week, and then decided to do pretty Many of his collections by a single color that, backlash was decided Mix. It’s very… um, bright. And all kinds of mixed together.
But the show proved to be an unexpected success with famous people, who has modeled from the collection on the red carpet since April. Despite their elegant looks, celebrities seem to have missed the fact that, with this distinctive color that is instantly identifiable, specific and dazzling, it all looks as if they are wear the same thing.
So in the end, Valentino Pink PP is more than any style or even star (including Anne Hathaway, Naomi Campbell, Bérénice Bejo, Katherine Langford and more) unforgettable.
2. Shorts
Mid froufrou and penguin suits, the visual overload of the entrances often seems like the main macarons (especially after two fast years), and it’s easy to forget that Cannes is really is a resort town, complete with a beach and boardwalk.
So it’s just… well, it’s easy to see some celebs embrace the seaside ethos by swapping out ball gowns and tuxedo pants for shorts. Not just any worn-out denim shorts, of course, but like black lace-up shorts. However, the idea is correct.

A female activist caused trouble at the premiere of George Miller’s “Three Thousand Years of Desire” when she stripped off her underwear to reveal her bare body painted in the colors of Flag of Ukraine and the message “don’t rape us.” Her lower half was painted blood red and the word “scum” (the name of a French feminist collective) was splattered. Although she was quickly secured and taken away by security, you can understand motivation. Why waste all that attention on papyrus dresses?
4. Classic
It’s becoming more common these days to plunge into a brand’s archives in search of the high-gloss equivalent of a re-wear movement. (It’s about time.)

First, she attended a screening of “The Innocent” in hourglass black from 1987 with a giant bag that read “Madame X” by John Singer Sargent. Then she went to the festival’s anniversary dinner for a leather cover dress from 2001 with deep cut neckline. And she just happened to be on her balcony in a chiffon corset from 2003. It gives a new meaning to the phrase “this old fashioned.
5. The “Elvis” Effect

Pastel, bling and tuxedo sets Jumpsuit are all present and taken into account – and not just at the “Elvis” premiere. With critical reception, at least praising the film’s look, this is just the beginning. Set up your trend meter now.
