Cannes Film Festival 2026 Red Carpet Rundown: FATHERLAND Premiere

The stars came out to sparkle and shimmer and wear goofy shit at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Fatherland. Let’s get into this.

On the one hand, we feel like we’ve seen this exact gown about a thousand times in the last couple of years. On the other hand, she looks amazing.

That was quite the scrolldown journey, wasn’t it? It felt good to end it in laughter, don’t you find? This all looks like the end result of a Tik Tok video where someone demonstrates how to construct an entire red carpet look by tying pieces of fabric together. That cape makes no kind of sense. Those shoes are ludicrous.

It’s giving White House Correspondents Dinner and that’s not really a compliment. It’s fine, but it feels a little dour and conservative for the Cannes red carpet.

This is weird and interesting. She looks like a Batman villain and she clearly loves it. We keep thinking it could’ve used more jewelry, but not really.

Sandra Hüller in Chanel Couture

Hate it. These feathery explosions are so overdone.

It’s impressive from far away but this is not a gown that should be photographed up close. It looks like it was made out of cardboard.
