To say we’ve been living for the 2024 Cannes Film Festival would be understatement of epic proportions. The glitzy resort town down on the Côte d’Azur has been playing host to cinema stars, outstanding filmmakers and legends of the industry since Tuesday, May 14 and the past two weeks have been a total fashion fest. Tonight, the highly-anticipated closing ceremony took place, along with the presentation of the event’s top award – the Palme d’Or. Since the spectacular opening ceremony, a plethora of A-list attendees have been dressed to the nines wearing jaw-dropping creations from the world’s most prestigious couture houses, with a select few ascending the steps of the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès opting to unearth some absolute beauties from the archives.

From Elle Fanning walking the red carpet in a billowing caftan from Sabato De Sarno’s recently-unveiled Cruise 2025 collection for Gucci to Greta Gerwig bringing true Hollywood glamour to Cannes in a midnight blue confection from Hedi Slimane at Celine – here’s theFashionSpot’s best looks from the closing ceremony of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival:

It has been a never-ending guessing game over on theFashionSpot forums for months. Speculating, just as to who might crop up on the cover of Edward Enninful’s final issue of British Vogue. Since June 2023, upon the news of Enninful departing the British fashion bible after a rather remarkable 7-year stint, names like Beyoncé were thrown around with regards to his final cover star. Needless to say, we didn’t see this one coming…

Forgoing just the one cover star, Enninful called upon a whopping 40 of his chosenVogue icons for his concluding cover. As a result, Karen Elson, Irina Shayk, Laverne Cox, Anya Taylor-Joy, Serena Williams, Rina Sawayama, Karlie Kloss, Jourdan Dunn, Cindy Crawford, Amber Valletta, Precious Lee, Jodie Comer, Gemma Chan, Adut Akech, Vittoria Ceretti, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Cata Delevingne, Jane Fonda, Gigi Hadid, Linda Evangelista, Adwoa Aboah, Miley Cyrus, Paloma Elsesser, Iman, Victoria Beckham, Ariana DeBose, Jameela Jamil, Oprah, Selma Hayek, Christy Turlington, Salma Blair, Maya Jama, Kate Moss, Cynthia Erivo, Simone Ashley, Lila Moss, Anok Yai, Kaia Gerber, Naomi Campbell and Dua Lipa grace the cover. The women flocked together in New York, and assemble for a group photograph before the lens of Steven Meisel.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Thank you, Edward. Thank you fashion gods! It’s a very interesting mix of cover subjects, some greats, some less than greats. Everyone looks fantastic, not a single woman looks unflattering here and that’s exactly what you want in a group cover, ” approved aracic.

LastNight was of the same mind, echoing: “I really like it! I think it’s quite striking and impressive to get all those people together.”

“I mean it’s a nice flex for him to have all these names on his last issue, but the composition is awful,” chimed in Marc10.

Thiago commented: “The Photoshop is terrible but that’s a proper farewell – Steven Meisel and legends!”

“It’s insane that they managed to actually get everyone there and still made it look like it’s a completely fake, Photoshopped group picture,” exclaimed lookatme.

“The cover isn’t groundbreaking enough, but you can’t make me hate it. Edward is such a mastermind, and I will surely miss his Vogue era,” shared forum member crmsn.

Caioherreo most definitely wasn’t all too impressed, describing the cover as “super boring” but do you agree?

Recently, American ELLE has been at the very top of our list when it comes to purchasing magazines from newsstands. It’s all thanks to Nina Garcia’s knack for producing simply stunning covers featuring everyone from Kaia Gerber to Grace Elizabeth to Zoë Kravitz to Precious Lee. For May 2022, the publication welcomes three new faces by shining a spotlight on rising stars. The three collectible covers consist of Rachel Zegler shot by Paul Wetherell, Bridgerton‘s Simone Ashley snapped by Christina Ebenezer and The Lir Academy graduate Alison Oliver captured by Greg Williams.

The covers fall short in the eyes of our forum members, however. “Weak covers…” said matheus_s the second the covers dropped.

“Teen ELLE,” disapproved Lucien112.

“Damn they did Alison Oliver dirty with that photo choice. Zero effort put into all the cover stories,” Marc10 chimed in.

“None work for me, they look so homemade,” critiqued a far from impressed Bertrando3.

“A crying shame really because I’ve felt like American ELLE has been on a complete roll. None of these covers do it for me, not even the Parisienne vibes I’m getting from Rachel Zegler or how bold and bright Simone Ashley’s cover is. All three feel like total nonevents,” proclaimed vogue28.

“How boring,” agreed liberty33r1b.

Although not everyone feels the same way. “These are good covers,” defended ivano. “Getting some retro vibes from each of them (70s and 90s in Rachel’s, 2000s in Simone’s and 80s in Alison’s cover).”

After skipping 2020 and scaling back a bit in 2021, we expected the 2022 Met Gala to really bring the drama. Not to mention the fashion. Thankfully, we aren’t disappointed.

Continuing the theme of “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” there was plenty of gilded glamour. There were corsets, structured skirts and opera gloves galore. But there were several stars who either downright ignored the theme or tried to put a modern spin on it. For example, Janelle Monáe’s Ralph Lauren look was a futuristic interpretation.

We spotted a surprising amount of cut-out accents. We were also taken aback by the sheer volume of see-through sections. (See what we did there?) Kim Kardashian certainly turned heads decked out in Marilyn Monroe’s iconic Jean Louis dress.

Both Blake Lively and Sydney Sweeney did an outfit reveal on the red carpet. The former rocked two Atelier Versace creations that paid tribute to the Statue of Liberty. The latter transformed her Tory Burch gown into a minidress.

Suits were also popular. Cara Delevingne, Irina Shayk and Chloë Grace Moretz all stepped out in striking style. It was actually a welcome contrast to all the dynamic dresses.

It’s definitely worth your time to scroll down to see all the crazy, sexy and totally cool looks from the 2022 Met Gala.
