Lebanese Designers Steal the Spotlight at Cannes Red Carpet

It was the 76th Cannes Film Festival all over again! Guess who stole the spotlight once again on that dazzling red carpet? You got it—Lebanese designers were making waves! The brilliance of Elie Saab, Zuhair Murad, Rami Kadi, and many more, was once again illuminated by the stars they adorned. Now let us treat you to an absolute feast of Lebanese fashion extravaganza.

Heidi Klum in Zuhair Murad

America’s Got Talent Judge Heidi Klum dominated the stage at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. She shimmered in a Zuhair Murad gown that brought the red carpet to vibrant existence. Klum’s yellow jersey draped gown boasted a daring crossed neckline, seductive cutouts, a thigh-high slit, and dramatic angel wing-like fabric. The dress sparkled with gold and silver crystal detailings and embellishments on the shoulders. Klum exuded elegance as she playfully waved the flowing yellow material, hugging the gown’s natural movement. The ensemble was part of Zuhair Murad’s Spring 2023 Couture Collection, designed for a carefree summer on the Riviera!

Brazilian bombshell Alessandra Ambrosio set hearts ablaze at the electrifying opening ceremony of the red carpet, donning an awe-inspiring Saab creation that meshed mystique and allure—a sheer maroon ensemble, complete with an entrancing hood and adorned with shimmering sequins. It was pure enchantment brought to life! All we have to say is Elie Saab’s gowns struck gold, leaving the audience craving more fashion magic.
