Cannes 2023: The best dresses from the film festival so far

There’s so much we’re looking forward to at the Cannes Film Festival 2023. Dua Lipa and Donatella Versace are revealing their ‘La Vacanza’ High Summer collection;  a documentary about the formidable fashionista Anita Pallenberg featuring Scarlett Johannson is being previewed; and so is The Weeknd’s hotly anticipated series The Idol starring Lily-Rose Depp.

But of course, there’s one element of this glitzy 12 day festival that overrides everything for the sartorial aficionados: the outfits.
