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.
