While much of the conversation surrounding the style and fashion statements at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival has centered around the dresses and gowns, the attendees’ footwear choices have been a standout this year with styles from Saint Laurent, Aquazzura Gianvito Rossi and more.
The festival has a long history of controversy surrounding its shoe policy, with some advocating for the right to wear flat shoes on the red carpet. However, this year, many stars have opted for tall stiletto heels, platform sandals and sparkling pumps.
From Zoe Saldaña in Saint Laurent wedges to Irina Shayk in Alaïa patent leather pumps, take a look at some of the most eye-grabbing shoes at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, so far.
