Doing a big announcement when the world’s press already happens to be there is a pretty smart move, and H&M has done just thatârevealing at the AmFAR gala at the Festival de Cannes this year that its next designer collaboration, launching November 7, is with Giambattista Valli.
Helping Valli and H&M’s creative adviser Ann-Sofie Johansson make the announcement at the HĂŽtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes were celebrities dressed in a limited-edition, pre-drop collection from Giambattista Valli Ă H&M: Kendall Jenner, Li Yuchun (æćźæ„), Chiara Ferragni, H. E. R., Bianca Brandolini d’Adda, and Ross Lynch.
The pre-drop collection, a series of gowns, becomes available in 12 selected stores on May 25. ‘I love dressing women for the red carpet, whether it’s real or imagined,’ said Valli.
âI am excited about this collaboration: H&M gives me the opportunity to bring my vision of style and my celebration of beauty to a wider audience. The goal is to share my love for beauty and to be able to be part of everyoneâs âhappy moments”, to help create love stories all around the world.’
The collection is meant to be a summary of his style without a narrative, says the designer, although there is ‘a sense of fluidity’ between womenswear and menswear. The range spans jackets, dresses, coats, cargo pants, sweatshirts, and accessories. It is his first foray into menswear.
âWe are thrilled to collaborate with Giambattista Valli. He is the undisputed master of haute couture with a knack for the memorable silhouette. To be able to bring his signature styles to our customers is a dream come true. We canât wait to see their reactions to this beautiful collection,’ said Johansson.

It’s been a long time since Brad Pitt was present at the Cannes Film Festivalâhe was still one half of Brangelina last timeâso his return for the premiĂšre of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood got plenty of attention.
Pitt stars alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in the Quentin Tarantino-written and directed film set in 1969, around the time of the murders committed by the Manson Family.
The film also stars Margot Robbie, Kurt Russell, Timothy Olyphant, Dakota Fanning, Margaret Qualley, Al Pacino, and, in his final role, the late Luke Perry.
Present at the photo call (video below) were Pitt, DiCaprio, Tarantino, Robbie, and producers David Heyman and Shannon McIntosh.
Tarantino displays his penchant for revisionist history as he did in Inglorious Basterds, and the film’s set designs, fashion and cinematography celebrate late-â60s Hollywood. The leads’ characters are neighbours to Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate in the film.
Pitt, a member of Breitling’s Cinema Squad, sported the brand’s Premier B01 Chronograph 42. Breitling CEO Georges Kern was present at the Cannes premiĂšre and the Sony Pictures’ after-party, which Breitling partnered, at the J. W. Marriott Hotel in Cannes.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan showed once again why her Cannes Film Festival appearances are so anticipated: wearing a beautiful custom-designed Jean-Louis Sabaji Couture gown in gold, with jewellery by Boucheron.
The Bollywood actress and former Miss World walked the red carpet for Terrence Malick’s A Hidden Life, which is in competition at Cannes. Representing the film were August Diehl and Valerie Pachner. On the same evening, French screen legend Alain Delon was awarded an honorary Palme d’Or, and walked the red carpet at the same time.
Elsa Hosk wore a custom Etro mint and pink chiffon gown with a train, and jewellery by de Grisogono (unique haute joaillerie earrings in pink gold set with white diamonds, brown diamonds and rubies, and a unique haute joaillerie bracelet in pink gold set with white diamonds). Elsa Zylberstein, also going with de Grisogono for her jewellery (Boule earrings and Chiocciolina ring), chose a gown by Zuhair Murad.
Giving Rai Bachchan competition in the gown stakes was model Petra NÄmcovĂĄ: her gown showed that eco-fashion can be red carpet-ready. Cristina Ottaviano created the gown using certified organic silkâunlike traditional silk, it was derived from mulberry trees. NÄmcovĂĄ chose Verrah shoes that looked like satin silk but were made from recycled plastic bottles, while her Rossoyuki clutch, made in Mumbai, used cruelty-free fabrics, micro-glass beads, recycled wood frames, and hand-made brass. Jewellery was by Chopard.

Screening out of competition was the Claude Lelouche film, Les plus belles annĂ©es d’une vie, with the director present on the red carpet alongside actors Anouk AimĂ©e, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Marianne Denicourt, Souad Amidou, Antoine Sire, and Monica Bellucci, and screenwriter ValĂ©rie Perrin.
Elsa Zylberstein wore Azzedine AlaĂŻa with jewellery by de Grisogono on the red carpet. Argentine model Camila Morrone chose a Miu Miu sequin dress that enhanced her stature.
Priyanka Chopra, meanwhile, went with a Georges Hobeika gown from his spring 2020 bridal collection as she showed up with her husband Nick Jonas. Not everyone understood the reference, but it was one that she shared with Jonas, who later posted on Instagram: it commemorated their meeting a year ago, seeing the movie Beauty and the Beast.
Bellucci, meanwhile, chose Dior for her gown, complemented by a necklace from Cartier.
