14 Cannes Film Festival red-carpet looks that missed the mark sorry

The French model walked the red carpet in an electric-blue ensemble that was certainly fun. According to a post on the brand's Instagram on Thursday, Bel wore a Jitrois leather outfit consisting of a bra with silver futuristic detailing, a maxi skirt with a high slit, and a single glove.

The post added that Bel's hat, which was reminiscent of a sports cone, was designed by Laurence Bossion and the outfit was finished with Helena Joy jewelry and sparkly bronze heels. The look might have worked better in a satin or silk material to match the elegance of the event.

Attending the screening of "Top Gun: Maverick," the 29-year-old actress and wife of Miles Teller arrived in a simple blue maxi dress with a pleated V-neckline and puff sleeves.

The dress looked quite stiff and the puff sleeves added an unnecessary dimension that could have had a more subtle effect if they sat just off the shoulder.

Longoria was styled by Charlene E Roxborough Konsker, according to an Instagram post shared by the stylist on Thursday. Konsker's post notes that Longoria wore a silver Cristina Ottaviano off-the-shoulder gown made up of small strips of metallic material, and had a sweetheart neckline.

While the dress' silhouette looked stunning, the design seemed overdone and had a bit too much going on. On Wednesday, Longoria revealed to People her first Cannes look — a gold knitted dress — only cost $40, proving that price tags don't decide how good an outfit looks.

The Bollywood actress was styled by Aastha Sharma, according to posts from the event on the stylist's page. According to the Hindustan Times, the black satin princess dress with a domed skirt and 3D pink, yellow, and white flowers on the sleeve and skirt was a Dolce & Gabbana design.

Despite the originality of the look, the two contrasting aspects of the dress didn't pair well together. The dress was pretty, but it would have worked better with one pop of florals rather than two.

Storm, a 23-year-old British singer-songwriter, opted for a Yanina Couture design, according to a post on the brand's Instagram account. The bright-pink dress had puff sleeves, a daring neckline with gemstone detailing, a blue waistband, and a fish scale pattern alternating with dustier shades.

The dress had several different components that were a touch too busy when combined, such as the puff sleeves and bright colors. Since Storm also had tasteful silver jewelry and warm-toned glam makeup, it would have paired well with a more muted dress.

Actress and director Hall, who Deadline reported is a member of the 2022 Cannes jury, wore a Gucci pink-and-red ruched maxi gown with petal sleeves and sequin detailing on the bodice, according to an Instagram post she tagged the brand in on Thursday.

Hall's chandelier earrings and statement red lip looked strong but the look was let down by the busy gown which was reminiscent of a professional gymnastics costume. The look would have worked better without sequins so the vibrant colors and ruched texture were the sole focus of the design.

The 38-year-old Turkish-German actress opted for a blue maxi dress with a giant purple bow, purple droplets, and giant tulle winged sleeves. According to the brand's website, the design was a Yanina Couture spring/summer 2022 dress.

The fairy-style dress was more like a costume than a high-glamour moment — the brand had a number of other colorful and ethereal designs that would have been more impactful on the red carpet.

According to a post on stylist Jonathan Huguet's Instagram page, the 69-year-old French actress wore a ruched green Balenciaga long-sleeved dress that flowed into gloves and matching leggings that flowed into pointed boots.

She paired the high-slit dress with black sunglasses and Cartier earrings, according to the post tags. While the look was fun, it leaned more toward a superhero costume and was reminiscent of Kim Kardashian's 2021 Met Gala look, an all-black Balenciaga look that was turned into a number of memes.

Huppert could have elevated the look by opting for either the gloves or the leggings, to break up some of the excess green material.

Italian-French singer and model Bruni attended the screening of the film "Forever Young" in a brown maxi dress with long sleeves and patches that caused bunching around her waist and hips. The design was a Saint Laurent fall/winter 22 ready-to-wear piece, according to Vogue Runway.

The brown gown was a forgettable choice and the bunching looked awkward on Bruni, whose Instagram post on Sunday showed her in a much more eye-catching lilac sequined cami dress.

For the screening of "Holy Spider," Vikander wore a metallic copper fishtail dress that was slightly raised on the shoulders. According to Grazia, the gown was a Louis Vuitton design that she paired with simple earrings and a topknot.

While the dress had some beautiful elements, it appeared to be rather rigid and the raised shoulder detail made Vikander look slightly tense. A satin material or a smaller sequin pattern would have helped to relax the gorgeous color and silhouette.

Attending the screening of "Smoking Causes Coughing," the 28-year-old French actress wore an asymmetric ivory corset with a belt that appeared to have the Fendi logo on it, and a tiny handbag charm alongside matching high-waisted satin pants and white peep-toe shoes.

The look, while chic, would have been better suited to a more casual evening occasion, rather than a red-carpet screening.

Influencer Sira Pevida attended the screening of "Triangle Of Sadness" and walked the red carpet in a structured silver foil gown with foil folds on her shoulders, silver stilettos, and tall white gloves.

According to Vogue Runway, the statement gown was a Balenciaga design from its spring 2022 ready-to-wear collection.

The silhouette of the dress suited Pevida, but the excess of foil, accompanied by the folds, was a step too far for the red-carpet look.

Arriving on the red carpet ahead of the screening of "R.M.N," Riley Keough, an American actress and the granddaughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, wore a Christian Dior Fall 2017 couture gown, according to Vogue Runway.

The sheer-grey dress with a ruched torso and partially pleated skirt was a dated choice that was reminiscent of an early 2000s red-carpet moment, but it would have looked a lot more striking if she'd forgone the embroidered satin wrap-around detail that covered it.

Rose Bertram, a 27-year-old Belgian model who attended the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, wore a lavender-colored PVC maxi dress with a halter neck, chest cutout, and a high slit.

Bertram was wearing Tony Ward Couture, according to a post by the brand on Sunday. The PVC material caught the light in a way that made the dress look iridescent and ended up detracting from the striking design.

Influencer Jessica Wang dazzled in another Tony Ward design but broke up the purple by wearing it as a structured cape over her embellished gown. Similarly, Bertram's look could have been done with a different fabric or scaled back the PVC material to simplify the overall look.
