Cate Blanchett, Julianne Moore, and Bella Hadid brought serious glamour to the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Garance (Another Day), a French drama starring Adèle Exarchopoulos, Sara Giraudeau, and Rudgy Pajany. The film follows Garance, played by Exarchopoulos, a struggling actress dealing with alcohol addiction as she goes through an eight-year journey of self-transformation.

The red carpet was hard to ignore, with Blanchett, Moore, and Hadid each arriving in stunning dresses, showing their own take on Cannes glamour. What I loved most was that the shoes were clearly part of the moment too.
Their classic pumps and platform sandals worked beautifully with their outfits, adding height and just the right finishing touch to each look. Let’s take a closer look at what they wore.

Cate Blanchett Lets Givenchy’s Painterly Fringe Shine With Simple Black Patent Pumps
Beneath all the dramatic fringe on her dress, Cate Blanchett appeared to be wearing black patent pointed-toe pumps with slim stiletto heels.
They were barely visible under the dress, but their simplicity made sense given the outfit’s detail. She could have gone for red or orange pumps to pick up the warmer floral tones of the dress, designed by Sarah Burton for Givenchy’s Fall 2026 collection.

The black silk base was cut with a halter turtleneck that showed off her shoulders and gave the back a more daring, open finish. I especially loved how the slim column silhouette hugged her frame elegantly before falling into a floor-length skirt, making her look even taller and more statuesque.
The real star of the look, though, was the embroidery. Red, pink, yellow, and blue flowers were stitched across the dress with green stems, creating a painterly, oil-painting effect. The florals were said to be inspired by Old Masters of European painting, though the design also drew comparisons to Filipino artist Olan Ventura.
Then came the mermaid-style fringe, which made the flowers look like they were melting down the skirt. The matching fringed leather gloves added even more drama, but I honestly didn’t like them that much, as I thought they distracted from the beauty of the dress.

Julianne Moore Grounds Her Red Bottega Veneta Gown With Champagne Loeffler Randall Platforms
Julianne Moore was impossible to miss in this bright-red Bottega Veneta look, but I honestly kept looking down at her shoes, too.
She paired the gown with Loeffler Randall “Rivka” sandals in champagne leather, and the metallic finish looked perfect against the solid red dress.
They boasted a caged upper with a knotted detail across the front, making the sandals look even more chic, along with thin ankle straps that secured them to the foot. Set on 0.79-inch platforms and 4.7-inch block heels, the sandals gave Julianne extra height without sacrificing comfort. They are available for $450 on Zappos and Amazon.

Her custom Bottega Veneta gown looked so elegant, and I loved how this shade of red looked beautiful against her skin. The sleek column silhouette hugged her frame, then softened into a sweeping skirt with a short train at the back.
The upper part clearly brought the drama. It had an off-the-shoulder neckline that sat low on her arms, creating a soft, draped effect. The center dipped before curving upward over the bust like a heart, which made the simple gown feel more romantic.
Julianne Moore finished her look with a diamond collar necklace featuring a ruby center pendant, plus a Messika White Midnight Sun ear clip for extra sparkle.

Bella Hadid Brings Classic Cannes Polish in Satin Prada and White Pointed Pumps
Bella Hadid looked polished and regal in this silver satin Prada look. Compared to her usual Cannes red-carpet outfits before the naked-dress ban, this was much more covered and refined, which made it a little unexpected. I actually liked seeing this softer, more classic side of her style because it still looked glamorous without relying on sheer fabric.
Her shoe choice stayed classic, with sleek white Prada pumps featuring sharp pointed toes. I loved the clean lines because they complemented the dress’s simple shape so well. The slim geometric stiletto heels also gave the shoes a modern Prada touch, echoing the house’s signature triangle logo.

The pumps paired perfectly with her double gray satin Prada gown, which had a strapless neckline embellished with crystals across the bust. The silhouette was simple and straight, ending around the ankles.
I wasn’t a fan of the matching double satin cape with bomber sleeves because it made the outfit look heavier and took away some of the dress’s sleekness.
With her hair swept up, Bella finished the look with Chopard jewels, including chandelier earrings and rings.
