When it comes to fashion, Black stars always understand the assignment—and this year’s Cannes Film Festival was no exception. From sleek silhouettes to bold color choices, some of our favorite familiar faces showed up and showed out, serving memorable looks that reminded us why we always keep one eye on the red carpet. Here are a few standout moments we couldn’t stop thinking about.

Rihanna, who’s never been one to play it safe, floated onto the scene in a deep blue Alaïa gown with signature cutouts, proving once again that maternity style can be nothing short of iconic. The gown’s artful draping and precise detailing made her look like a walking sculpture—pregnancy glow fully activated.

Naomi Ackie stepped into the fashion spotlight in a glossy black Balenciaga gown that shimmered like it had its own lighting team. With a structured neckline and floor-length drama, it served elegance with an edge. Her soft curls framed her face, adding just the right contrast to the gown’s high-fashion severity.

Halle Berry, serving as one of this year’s official jury members, had a packed schedule of premieres—which meant one thing: multiple red carpet slays. With stylist Maryam Malakpour by her side, Berry delivered a steady stream of luxury fashion moments. From a floral-adorned Chanel suit complete with a black bow tie to a shimmering, crystal-covered Gucci gown, every look screamed one thing: opulence. Honestly, if “Rich Auntie Energy” were a dress code, Halle wrote it.

A$AP Rocky, ever the style chameleon, delivered his usual mix of polish and personality. Whether in a tailored suit or casually layered fit, he reminded us that men’s fashion doesn’t have to be boring—especially when you're A$AP.

And of course, Denzel Washington gave us classic Denzel: sharp suit, smooth charm, no fashion fuss—just clean lines and quiet power.
