When it comes to the annual Cannes Film Festival, high-fashion red carpet moments are just as talked about as the movies Hollywood's best and brightest are there to premiere and promote. And while there are a slew of celebrity "best dressed" red carpet moments to admire throughout the years, sometimes the wackiest Cannes dresses of all time are just as entertaining and memorable.
From the always boundary-pushing Julia Fox to the infamously obscure, avant-garde Björk, even the most fashion-forward celebrity is not above having an ill-fated, red carpet faux pas. Whether a gown is overtly outrageous or just downright odd, the Cannes red carpet always serves as a treasure trove of weird outfit choices and head-scratching ensembles.
To be fair, dressing for a prestigious film festival like Cannes is not easy. As Emilie Legendre, the communication director at Elie Saab—which has helped dress Dita Von Teese, Paz Vega, Rosario Dawson, and more—told Fashionista: "You have to be very calm (when working Cannes). It's a 12-day marathon so if you lose it you'll never make it."
Only a select few will ever have the opportunity to wear high-end fashion brands and walk a glamorous red carpet, but absolutely no one is above a fashion mishap they'd do anything to take back.
