Alessandra Ambrosio’s Best Red Carpet Moments: 5 Stunning Looks From the 76th Cannes Film Festival

Among the plethora of brilliant movie stars in attendance at the 76th Annual Cannes Film Festival, Brazilian model Alessandra Ambrosio once again proved why she’s considered a Cannes mainstay. A decade after making her festival debut, the supermodel continues to captivate photographers and fashion insiders alike with her fearless sense of style and flawless poise.

The 42-year-old wealthy supermodel has been perfecting the art of the red carpet since her first appearance at the Cannes Film Festival in 2013, where her glamorous looks began earning her a reputation as one of the event’s most consistent fashion icons. Over the years, Ambrosio has become synonymous with the festival’s mix of high fashion and cinematic elegance.

This year was no exception. She brought her signature confidence and couture edge to the premieres of several major films, including the historical drama Jeanne du Barry and Martin Scorsese’s Western crime epic Killers of the Flower Moon.

Below, we’re looking back at five of Alessandra Ambrosio’s standout outfits from this year’s Cannes Film Festival — a masterclass in red-carpet glamour that balances nostalgia, modernity, and the model’s unmistakable Brazilian allure.

1. Daring in Dundas: Sheer Naked Dress & Feather Stole at the amfAR Gala

Proving she’s the one to watch on the red carpet, Alessandra Ambrosio confidently embraced the naked dress trend at the amfAR Gala during the 76th Cannes Film Festival.

She looked incredible in the see-through sheer number specially designed by Dundas for the former Victoria’s Secret Angel.

Old Hollywood Glamour: Dundas’ Sheer Silk Gown With Plunging Neckline and Feather Stole

Hugging every inch of her model figure, the racy number featured a curve-hugging fit with a navel-deep plunging neckline that gave onlookers an eyeful of her cleavage. Additionally, it had a long skirt with a short sweeping train and a dangerously high front slit flaunting her long model legs.

The stunning creation was cut from nude silk tulle and decorated with Celtic deco-inspired embellishments that were strategically placed to conceal her modesty. A plush white feather boa was slung over her arms to give the glamorous naked gown a touch of old Hollywood flair.

Styling and Beauty: Glittering Heels, Pomellato Jewels, and Retro Glam Perfection

Ale paired the dress with matching glittering heels and minimal silver and diamond jewelry by Pomellato, allowing the dress to take center stage.

She worked with her trusted stylist, Amarsana Gendunova, to create her exquisite evening look, which was completed with coordinating old Hollywood glam.

Her glossy brunette hair was fashioned in gorgeous retro waves by Dimitris Giannetos. At the same time, her beautiful Brazilian features were highlighted with smoky cat-eye makeup and nude lipstick by Carolina Gonzalez.

2. Tailored Perfection: Petar Petrov Waistcoat, Flared Pants & Yellow Blazer

Waistcoats have made an unexpected return to the fashion scene this summer, and Alessandra Ambrosio is fully embracing the trend.

On Monday, Richard Lee’s girlfriend looked the epitome of summertime elegance in a three-piece outfit by Vienna-based label Petar Petrov ahead of the Barbie x Tangle Teezer launch event in Cannes.

Ambrosio opted for a menswear-inspired ensemble that consisted of a trendy waistcoat, a pair of trousers, and an oversized blazer.

Highlighting her long, slender pins, Ale wore the $1,310 GRATO slim-fit pants with a slightly flared hem and the $860 WYCK slim-fit waistcoat with jetted pockets and an adjustable width at the back made from fluid silk and viscose.

Finishing Touches: Pastel Blazer, Hermès Kelly Pochette, and White Platform Heels

She topped off the crisp ivory outfit with the “Isaac” blazer in pastel yellow cotton-blend fabric with woven navy pinstripes that mimic a ribbing design.

Casually wearing her tresses down, Alessandra added a pop of pink lip color to her look and shielded her eyes from the sun with rectangular sunglasses.

She then carried a brown Hermes Kelly pochette and further accessorized her warm-weather ensemble with white platform heels, hoop earrings, a thick silver necklace, and several rings.

Two days prior, Alessandra Ambrosio graced the Cannes premiere of Killers of the Flower Moon, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, who just recently welcomed his 7th child, Lily Gladstone, Jesse Plemons, and Brendan Fraser.

The Brazilian beauty stole the spotlight in a black vintage gown that clung perfectly to her model figure. Her stylist, Amarsana Gendunova, dug the marvelous creation from Giorgio Armani’s Fall/Winter 1994 collection.

Elegance With an Edge: Vintage Updo, Pomellato Diamonds, and Smoky Glam

A gothic take on the naked dress trend, the sheer number showed a glimpse of her flesh and was embellished with sparkling black crystals all over. It was also designed with a high neck, long sleeves, and a floor-length hem.

Looking gorgeous as always, Alessandra had her tresses coiffed in a vintage curled updo by Dimitris Giannetos so that she could show off her luxurious Pomellato diamond chain earrings.

Carolina Gonzalez went for “elegance with an edge” for Ale’s beauty look, applying “lashy, smoky, sultry, balmy eye” with sharp, bushy eyebrows, and nude lip color.

With the assistance of her stylist, the Casino Royale actress put on yet another stunning display in a magnificent black gown that accentuated her toned physique.

Hailing from Milan-based brand Ramzen, helmed by Saudi designer Abdul Al Romaizan, the brilliant gown boasted a glittering fitted bodice with a cleavage-baring low-cutout neckline and two waist-defining cutouts.

The bottom part featured a voluminous floor-sweeping skirt with large floral appliques and black feather accents at the hips.

The archival piece fit her body like a glove and was adorned with glimmering sequins meticulously placed in a linear pattern to emphasize her enviable profile further.

It also had an integrated hood—a popular ‘80s trend that has re-emerged in 2022—that cascaded stylishly into a daring plunging neckline, creating a perfect backdrop for her Pomellato High Jewelry Skyline necklace.

She further accessorized with matching Pomellato High Jewelry earrings, which complemented her smoky red eyeshadow. Her fluttery eyelashes, nude pink lipstick, and swept-back hairstyle rounded out her ethereal glam.
