Surrounded by the opulence of the Cannes Film Festival, Greta Gerwig, the esteemed jury president, has emerged as a fashion force to be reckoned with. Her red carpet moments, meticulously crafted by stylist Karla Welch, have been nothing short of extraordinary, showcasing a style that is both captivating and impactful.
Gerwig’s wardrobe choices have emphasized a bold reinterpretation of classic elegance. At the festival’s after-party, she graced the scene in a sheer, nude-colored gown adorned with crystal fringe, a creation from the collaboration between Jean Paul Gaultier and Simone Rocha. This whimsical ensemble, fresh from the runway, imbued a renewed spirit into the traditional evening gown. Welch’s enthusiasm for the piece is evident: “I was at the Simone show, and I just love how special all her shows are. We were super honored to get to wear a piece.”
Gerwig’s daytime attire has been equally impressive. Upon her arrival at the festival, she made a striking appearance in a brown sleeveless dress by Carven, featuring a structured upper bodice. Later, at the festival’s opening ceremony, she commanded attention in a sequined Saint Laurent number with long sleeves and a dramatic high slit. Even in her more casual moments, Gerwig’s style shines through. Her striped Margiela day dress, cinched at the waist and paired with white Tabi heels, exudes effortless elegance. The choice of Tabi heels, with their distinctive hoof-like shape, adds a touch of subversion to the otherwise classic Cannes dress code.
For a special evening, Gerwig returned to the realm of sparkles, donning a custom black cape dress by Chanel. Embroidered with an intricate array of sequins, the dress drew inspiration from the house’s spring 2024 couture collection. As a finishing touch, Gerwig accessorized with Chanel High Jewelry, completing her glamorous ensemble.
Gerwig’s fearless approach to fashion is a testament to her confidence and individuality. With each appearance, she pushes the boundaries of red carpet style, leaving an unforgettable impression on the world of fashion. As the festival continues, we eagerly anticipate seeing what other sartorial surprises Gerwig has in store.
