The Festival de Cannes 2021 has arrived and this year it’s back in person, thank god. Taking place at Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France, the prestigious event lasts between July 6-17 and anyone who is anybody attends. The world’s biggest red carpet brings together the world’s top directors, actors, producers, and of course no red carpet would be complete without supermodels. For 75 years, the festival has featured a lineup of premieres and parties that everyone wishes they could attend. 

Keeping with tradition, the film industry collides worlds with the reigning kings and queens of the fashion industry to be dressed by. The Cannes dress code is anything but casual. This is the red carpet to bring out all the stops; jewels and couture are a must. 

Following an unprecedented pause in 2020, this year the male leads such as Timothée Chalamet, Tahar Rahim, Adam Driver, Spike Lee and Matt Damon stole the spotlight in the Cote d’Azur, where they watched the premiere screenings of Wes Anderson’s latest flick The French Dispatch, Paul Verhoeven’s Benedetta and the heavily anticipated Annette. 

Here are the leading men that took our breath away on the red carpet:
