ELIE SAAB Lights Up the 78th Cannes Film Festival with Star-Studded Appearances
The ELIE SAAB Effect
If red carpet magic had a name, it would be ELIE SAAB @eliesaabworld. Known for his ultra-feminine designs, luxurious fabrics, and impeccable detail, the Lebanese designer is a go-to for women who want to feel like royalty. His gowns have long been favorites of stars at the Oscars, the Emmys, and of course, the Cannes Film Festival @festivaldecannes, where glamour is not optional—it’s the dress code.
From delicate embroidery to dramatic silhouettes, Saab’s couture is always about more than just fashion—it’s about presence. No wonder so many of this year’s top celebrities turned to him for their Cannes looks.
Why Cannes Is Still the Ultimate Fashion Moment
The Cannes Film Festival, held each spring on the sun-soaked French Riviera, is one of the most prestigious events in the world—not just for film, but for fashion. It’s where art house cinema meets haute couture, and the red carpet often becomes just as talked about as the movies themselves.
For actors, Cannes is a chance to make a statement. And what better way to do that than in ELIE SAAB?
