We Cannes Not Wait: The Most Stylish Film Festival Is Getting a Fashion Component

The Cannes Film Festival is already known for its fashion: the gorgeous gowns (and dapper suits) that grace the red carpet always seem to make our hearts skip a beat. But now, some entrepreneurs have decided to take things to the next level — by hosting a three-day Fashion Festival, which will run from May 20 to 22 at the Hotel Majestic Barrière, promising both "stunning runway shows and glamorous events."

While we'll have to wait months to see how this new venture pans out — and what designer duds our favourite A-listers will be sporting — nothing's stopping us from enjoying the stylish hits from years past. From the gold-spangled Lanvin dress Linda Evangelista wore on the carpet in 2008 to the Jean Paul Gaultier bustier Madonna wore in 1991, scroll through for a look at some of the festival's most memorable fashion moments.
