The 2016 Cannes Film Festival was a feast for the senses. It not only delivered spectacular works in film and an impressive guest list, but it also presented stellar red carpet style offerings from A-list celebrities and prominent names in the film industry. There were a lot of vibrant hues such as reds and yellows, stunning embellished dresses, and a few bold sartorial choices.
Here are some of the most memorable looks from this year’s Cannes Film Festival:
1. Blake Lively
