At the 78th Cannes Film Festival on May 13, 2025, Halle Berry made a stunning statement at the “Leave One Day” premiere and opening ceremony. Serving as one of the festival’s illustrious jurors, Berry arrived on the red carpet channeling her signature blend of timeless glamour and modern savvy. Originally set to wear a dazzling Gaurav Gupta creation, she had to make a swift pivot due to the festival’s new rules prohibiting voluminous trains—rules meant to ease guest flow and optimize seating arrangements. Embracing this challenge with her characteristic grace, Berry opted for a breathtaking sleeveless trapeze gown courtesy of Jacquemus’ spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection. The floor-length dress, crafted from silk organza, featured vertical black and white stripes with an artful gathered detail in the back accented by Rond-Carré Bijoux, proving that adaptation can itself be an act of high fashion.
