Burton continued her exploration of artfully deconstructed suiting, most strikingly in a black one-shouldered dress with an exposed corset and a skirt that looked as if a tuxedo jacket had been slashed up and reassembled at random. This consistency was carried through to the collection itself. The reuse of the custom-built venue was a nod to the label's commitment to sustainability and provided a welcome antidote to the Insta-grabbing, novelty-driven gimmicks of some brands during recent fashion weeks. Inside the buildings and on the site’s grassy grounds, students gathered to catch a glimpse of the show’s celebrity guests, cheering at the sight of Janet Jackson, Lara Stone, Letitia Wright, Maria Sharapova and crowd favourite Hero Fiennes Tiffin. Perched on the banks of the Thames, McQueen’s sculptural cloud-like structure stood in stark contrast to the sturdy baroque buildings flanking it.Ī tuxedo jumpsuit with structured shoulders.
This time around, it was transposed on to the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College, a Unesco World Heritage Site in London's Greenwich that was once a favoured retreat for Henry VIII and is now home, in part, to the University of Greenwich. The structure made its debut last year for the unveiling of McQueen’s spring/summer 2022 show, when it was placed at the top of a multi-storey car park in Wapping. The new collection was unveiled within a transparent bubble designed by architect Smiljan Radic (the man behind the brand's London and Dubai flagship stores). But the leitmotif was perhaps most powerful when rendered in abstract on a black mesh bodysuit covered in sequins and crystal embroidery, showcased on the runway by an inhumanly youthful-looking Naomi Campbell. Oversized eyes reappeared in red on a beautifully draped white dress and louche white suit, while miniature pupils were peppered across a voluminous ankle-length dress. It was also, perhaps, a reminder of the need for us all to be more conscious of the world around us as we emerge from the ravages of the pandemic. “The eye is a symbol of that humanity, a register of emotion, an expression of uniqueness.” “This collection is about searching for humanity and human connection,” Sarah Burton, Alexander McQueen’s creative director, wrote in her show notes. The motif was drawn from Ridley Scott’s 1982 film, Blade Runner, where eyes are the ultimate differentiator between humans and robots.

Below, see all of the 27 best dressed stars at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. It featured an asymmetrical, optical-illusion bodice that hung off the body it’s the type of double-taking statement look that Cannes is all about. “I also like to play with the curves and pleats of my body, and to exaggerate and amplify its lines.” Model Elsa Hosk, meanwhile, chose a surreal Viktor & Rolf gown for the La Passion De Dodin Bouffant premiere this weekend. “I like my looks to be structured yet fluid,” she told Vogue. At the Last Summer screening, French singer Yseult opted for Balenciaga’s puff-shouldered gown covered in strass crystals. Elle Fanning also turned heads at the Killers of the Flower Moon premiere in Alexander McQueen’s custom-made orchid dress, done in pink tulle and beads. Sculptural silhouettes continued to dominate the Cannes carpet this past week. At the May December premiere, Natalie Portman shined in a recreation of Christian Dior’s iconic Junon gown from 1949, featuring ornate beading and a scalloped skirt. Even better is how she accessorized with a pair of dentalium shell earrings, by the Indigenous designer Jamie Okuma. At the premiere of Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, Indigenous star Lily Gladstone earned a nine-minute standing ovation-and her floral-printed Valentino gown was just as worthy of applause. A-listers such as Natalie Portman, Jennifer Lawrence, and Viola Davis hit la croisette all in standout looks, whether the gowns were vintage designs or new couture creations.
Every year, the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival delivers plenty of glamorous fashion moments-and this year was, bien sur, no exception.
