Now, actress, Frederike Bel's daring sheer gown, complete with golden triangles to cover her modesty, certainly divided fashion fans.  She wore it with matching gold accessories and shoes and it has been described by fashion fans as the leader of the worst dress at the prestigious event.  Pretty harsh!

Uncut Gems star, Julia Fox wore not one daring look at the Cannes Film Festival this year, but three!  They did all seem to follow a see-through theme, including a completely see-through corset.  And here, she seems to have had a fight with plastic bubble wrap and lost miserably.

4. Aishwarya Rai

Meanwhile, the former Miss World winner, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan turned everybody's heads as she appeared on the Red Carpet at the Indiana Jones and The Dial Of Destiny premiere.  She basically wore a mirror ball complete with an unnecessarily oversized statement hood.

5. Elsa Hosk

Swedish model, Elsa Hosk wowed onlookers in her pale blue Victor & Rolf couture gown with silver accessories and a stunning blonde bob haircut.  But we can't help but wondering whether Elsa Hosk has actually forgotten to zip up her dress, because it looks like it's falling off!

6. Ashley Graham

At the Club Zero premiere, an enormous pale blue creased bedspread appeared on the Red Carpet.  No wait, we've got that one wrong... It's model Ashley Graham!  But we don't know why she chose to cover up her beautiful and iconic curves with something that needs a good iron!

7. Yseult Onguenet

And the bedding theme continues with the French singer, Yseult Onguenet who seems to have fashioned her expensive duvet into enormous 3D roses!  Ysault Onguenet's red ensemble was paired with stylish black pointy zip-up boots and a more natural makeup look.

8. Tim Schaecker

Many of the suits that you see at the Cannes Film Festival have traditionally been black over the years.  But content creator Tim Schaecker wowed onlookers with this eye-catching purple three-piece suit.  It is certainly one to stand out in the sea of black suits!

9. Brie Larson

The Captain Marvel star, Brie Larson, wore this almost golden Chanel gown which has been described by fashion fans as rather drab compared to some of the daring pieces out there this year.  And it was rather confusing too, with the out-of-place-looking gold tunic over the top...

10. Katie Holmes

Actress Katie Homes attended the Women in Motion Talk at the Cannes Film Festival this year and she chose to wear this oversized pantsuit.  And to tell you the truth, she looks more ready to play a long game of golf out in the open than chic and ready to attend a glamorous event!

11. Neelam Gil

British fashion model, Neelam Gil arrived in a stunning blush pink shimmering gown.  But to be honest, it looked good enough to eat, as the frills and color kind of reminded us of a huge decorated cupcake.  And that big frill next to her face just HAS to be most impractical when she is trying to watch a movie premiere!

12. Rahi Chadda

Model, actor, fashion influencer, and Cannes veteran, Rahhi Chadda, was actually described as one of the best-dressed men at the 76th Cannes Film Festival, but his unique ensemble did divide opinion.  He wore this fiery red Homolog Paris pantsuit complete with tuille and a diamond and ruby necklace for his first Red Carpet event.

13. Urvashi Rautela & Victoria Bonya

Urvashi Rautela's fifth striking Red Carpet look is definitely not one you're going to forget anytime soon, especially because Russian actress, Victoria Bonya actually wore the conspicuous gown on day one of the festival!  We thought we'd seen that Ziad Nakad dress before!

14. Kika Gomes

Model Kika Gomes arrived on the Red Carpet with her partner, F1 driver, Piere Gasly at the Cannes Film Festival 2023.  Kika Gomes appeared in a black rope cut-out dress, complete with a feathered hem around her ankles.  And it's a good job that rope is there holding it all together, as we might have another celebrity fashion faux pas on our hands!

15. Heidi Klum

Model, Heidi Klum arrived at the French film premiere of Le Passion De Dodin Bouffant in a bright sunny yellow gown that featured a daring cut-out piece across the chest.  And we say daring because she did ultimately suffer a wardrobe malfunction as she flapped the flowing wings of her gown.  And you can probably guess what popped out...

16. Troye Sivan

Australian singer-songwriter, Troye Sivan, also had his fair share of daring and unique looks at the 76th Cannes Film Festival this year.  Including his striking suit by Valentino that featured cut-out detail that he wore to the premiere of the new movie, The Idol.

17. Maya Hawke

Stranger Thing actress, Maya Hawke appeared wearing a structured bold green dress, white go-go boots, and deep aqua gloves.  This look certainly divided opinion, with some people thinking that she looks like she's come from solving mysteries with Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby!

18. Jennifer Lawrence

Look Up actress, Jennifer Lawrence sneakily rebelled against the Cannes Film Festival's strict Red Carpet dress code and walked down it in flip-flops!  And, to be honest, paired with her stunning red dress, and quest for comfort, we are absolutely here for it!

19. Julia Roberts

And Jennifer Lawrence isn't the first person to ditch their heels on the Red Carpet despite them being 'mandatory' at the Cannes Film Festival!  Back in 2016, Notting Hill actress Julia Roberts took her heels off and walked barefoot up the steps of the Red Carpet.

20. Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart also joined the band of A-listers who ditched their heels on the Red Carpet.  And like Julia Roberts, it was to walk up those infamous stairs.  And we say infamous because there have been so many celebs who have taken a tumble up them!

21. Bobbie Bresee

Horror movie scream queen, Bobbie Bresee appeared at the 33rd Cannes Film Festival in 1980 wearing a daring sheer black dress that was completely see-through!  Back then, anything sheer raised more than a few eyebrows.  And we think she's a true icon!

22. Ilona Staller

Eight years later, at the 41st Cannes Film Festival, adult film star, Ilona Staller, really made a statement with her white strappy ensemble and carrying one of her signature soft toys.  In fact, Ilona Staller was well-known for wearing revealing pieces to prestigious events.

23. Victoria Abril

And in 1997, actress Victoria Abril forgot her trousers!  Well, we think this was intentional, to be honest as she was styled perfectly from the front so unless she turned around, you would never know that she had her underwear on show.  She really went against the 'black tie' dress code here!  What a legend!

24. Victoria Silvstedt

Back in 2005, Swedish model, Victoria Silvstedt, walked the Red Carpet dressed in a strapless leather dress at the Sin City premiere event.  And some people might have been mistaken and thought that she might be losing the skirt part of her dress with the placements of those cutout pieces on her hips.

25. Elizabeth Banks

Elizabeth Banks spent her time walking the Cannes Film Festival Red Carpet with a little bit of a fashion faux pas some years ago.  She didn't notice that her zipper was broken.  But to be honest, neither did we, just look at that stunning shimmering dress with matching accessories!

26. Rona Hartner

French-Romanian actress, Rona Hartner, appeared in some, shall we say, interesting looks during the 2004 Cannes Film Festival.  From a golden headdress that seemed to weigh her down to this interesting ensemble...  At least she looks like she's having a splendid time!

27. Larisa Katz

Bold designer, Larisa Katz stunned onlookers at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival when she appeared on the Red Carpet in a dress made entirely from golden biscuit trays.  She wanted to show that fashion doesn't have to be restrained and can be made out of absolutely anything... A bit impractical though, right?  We mean, how does she sit down?!

28. Deepika Padukone

One year, and one we probably won't forget, Bollywood star, Deepika Padukone wore the most OTT green ensemble.  And this Giambattista Valli gown in a bold bright green color with small pink blush details really caught everyone's eye, but probably not for the right reasons!

29. Cheryl Cole

British singer and ex-The X Factor judge, Cheryl Cole once floated mysteriously through one Cannes Film Festival event... Well, not really, but the dress she chose that year certainly made it look like she was!  Probably not the best choice for a Red Carpet event!

30. Beautiful grey!

There was once a time at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival when having any ounce of grey hair peppered through your locks would be considered a serious fashion fail.  But nowadays, grey is definitely in and as chic as any Chanel gown on the red carpet!
