The Cannes Film Festival is fast approaching. The blockbuster event will return to its full glory after disruptions due to Covid-19, with a whirlwind of photocalls, premieres and parties. Of course, Cannes has always been a magnet for the biggest names in Hollywood, so the French Riviera festival naturally sees some major style moments.
Ahead of the return of Croisette style, immerse yourself in some epic Cannes pictures from the ’90s – from Grace Jones holding court at an after-party to Naomi Campbell shutting down the red carpet like only a supermodel can.
