The Cannes Film Festival is in full swing, and with A-listers, film icons, and top directors coming together from all over the world to celebrate good films of all genres, it is little wonder that it has been lauded as one of the most - if not the most - prestigious international film festivals in the world.
Amidst the glitz and glamour, we’ve zoomed in on some of our absolute favourite past Cannes Best Actors and Actresses who send fans and spectators into a fashion-induced tizzy whenever hitting the red carpet or rocking casual everyday looks off-duty. Scroll down to recap their fashion wins, paired with specially curated watches to complete these looks. Ladies and gentlemen, watch and learn.
Rooney Mara
Winning work: Carol
Year of win: 2015
Rooney Mara is no stranger when it comes to the list of hot fashion icons. The Carol star’s signature vampy red lips and slick style is striking yet sensuous, making her the paramount style icon of edgy meets effeminate. We especially love how she pairs gothic, flirty lace pieces with an arresting dark palette, creating an androgynous, mysterious assemblage for the red carpet.

Now you see it, now you don’t: Mara in a lacy cream dress with a dangerously sexy thigh-high slit.

Get the look: What better way to emulate Mara’s bold and edgy sense of style than to don an oversized men’s watch? Think big and monochrome when adding the finishing touches to your Mara-inspired getup.
