At the lavish Roberto Cavalli dinner—aptly titled “Ray of Sea”—held at Annex Beach during the 78th Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2025, Stella Maxwell and Barbara Palvin clearly stood out as icons of modern glamour and daring style.
Stella Maxwell Former Victoria’s Secret Angel Stella Maxwell drew attention with an audacious sartorial statement that perfectly captured the festival’s blend of boldness and sophistication. Wearing an animal-print, 2000s-inspired flowy maxi dress crafted from a plunging mesh fabric, she flirted with the borderlines of convention—risking a wardrobe malfunction while exuding undeniable allure. Accented by pointed black stilettos and a striking pop of turquoise eyeliner, her look exemplified a fearless approach to red carpet fashion that turned heads and ignited buzz among attendees.
Barbara Palvin Reuniting with her Victoria’s Secret peers for the evening, Barbara Palvin showcased refined elegance and effortless style. The Armani Beauty ambassador opted for a matching two-piece ensemble, blending a gracefully tailored long-sleeve top with a flowing maxi skirt. Her outfit, understated yet impeccably chic, resonated with the warm glow of a Cannes sunset as she mingled along the beach. Palvin’s appearance not only underscored her status as a style luminary but also balanced contemporary trends with classic allure, embodying the sophisticated energy of the event.
