Amidst the multiple fashion trends and iconic looks on supermodels, actresses and influencers, the timeless black-and-white combination was indeed a standout trend at the 77th Cannes Film Festival. With celebrities and fashion divas bringing their unique flair to the classic colour scheme, here’s a breakdown of how some of these top ladies styled this timeless look.
Bollywood actor Aditi Rao Hydari attended the screening of L'Amour Ouf (Beating Hearts) directed by Gilles Lellouche in a stunning black and white gown by designer Gaurav Gupta. She kept her makeup simple, enhancing her natural beauty and complementing the sophistication of her attire. And, for a sleek finish, she paired her monochrome outfit with neatly tied bun adding a touch of elegance and allowing the focus to remain on her gown.
Supermodel Taylor Hill walked the red carpet showcasing a blend of classic and modern elegance at Cannes and was one of the best dressed celebrities this year. She wore a strapless white dress by Balmain, featuring a daring thigh-high slit that added a bold touch to the otherwise classic look. She added a bold collar necklace from Messika, which added a statement piece to her ensemble.
Popstar and actress, Selena Gomez arrived at the premiere of her film Emilia Perez at the Cannes festival. She stunned the audience in a gorgeous black velvet gown with white bardot sleeves by Saint Laurent, which added a dramatic flair to her look. She completed the look with a diamond swan Bulgari necklace, adding a touch of luxury and sparkle and various rings, complementing the overall elegance. She styled her hair into a ponytail, creating a sleek and chic appearance and red nailpaint for classic appeal.
Like these stylish actresses, you too can re-create the classic monochrome combination and make a timeless statement by following these simple tips.
While choosing a monochrome outfit, look for contrasting details. Incorporate contrasting elements like white sleeves on a black gown or a bold slit in a white dress to add visual interest. Similar to Selena Gomez’s look, choose a black velvet gown with white accents, such as bardot sleeves or a white belt. Consider polka dots, stripes, or color-blocking patterns in black and white for a playful yet classic look. Mix textures such as lace, silk, or velvet to add depth to your outfit.
Enhance the look with statement jewellery pieces like a bold necklace or eye-catching rings to add a luxurious finish to your outfit. A small black or white clutch with minimal embellishments works best for a refined look.
Elegant hairstyles like sleek and elegant buns or a ponytail are important to keep the focus on the outfit. Selena Gomez’s sleek ponytail is perfect for a modern and chic appearance. Keep makeup simple to balance the striking contrast of the black and white ensemble. Go for a classic eyeliner look, with either a subtle wing or a more dramatic cat-eye. Add a subtle pop of color with accessories or makeup, like red nail polish, to elevate the classic look.
