Endless premiers and a myriad of glamorous red carpets. With the French Riviera as the backdrop, the who’s who of the film world come together to celebrate the craft of storytelling through cinema; that’s what the 2018 Cannes Film Festival is known and loved for.
In a refreshing, and possibly an effort to self-correct back to an era of refinement, Cannes’ Film Festival director Thierry Fremaux announced right before the event’s opening that red carpet selfies would be banned this year — and likely going forward.

Always a power moves for women, a pantsuit on a red carpet definitely makes quite a statement. From your classic black tuxedo silhouette, to bolder, more ostentatious embellishments and color palettes, the presence of the pantsuit was in full force.
