Luxurious Couture, Ready-to-Wear & Wedding Dresses | Tony Ward Couture

It’s Opening Night, the Red Carpet is rolled out and they are starting to arrive; celebrities dressed in the most dazzling attires for a night of glam and talent. They stop for a moment to strike a pause for the cameras, then step inside Palais des Congres for the opening ceremony.

We are caught up in the buzz of the arrivals, the smiles on the Red Carpet, and intrigued when the ceremony ends and lights shut down for the start of the movie that the audience will get to discover en avant-premiere. So much talent gathered at once in one place, we are in awe of the magic that this Festival manages to create year after year. But before we hope to our local movie theater, to watch these masterpieces, we’ll give ourselves a moment to look at the dresses, the dresses, the dresses…

On a more romantic spin, the lovely Gabrielle Caunesil took us for a twirl of good old romance in a coral pink tulle ball gown embellished with sparkling silvery geometric embroideries, with a sensual décolleté and a lavish jupon skirt, a look created exclusively by Tony Ward for the Festival de Cannes. It was all sparkles and pleats for Beauty Queen Iris Mittenaere who illuminated the Red Carpet in a wondrous lilac silk tulle ball gown with delicate glints of beaded embroideries, at the premiere of ‘Indiana Jones and the dial of destiny.’

The beauty is not over quite yet, and we will be on the lookout the next few days to spot more of our favourite fashion looks on the Cannes Croisette.
