Alessandra Michelle’s vision for the 2019 Cruise collecton for Gucci extended to the inevitability of death. “The inspiration is an ossuary, the crypts of the cardinals, of the monks in the 15th century, and the precious decorations,” -Gucci quoted Michele on Instagram. “This idea is that everything that is linked to the afterlife is accompanied by something of maximum beauty. It’s the idea of death as fascination.”
The show displayed velvet rosary chokers, oversized cross earrings which resembled stain glass windows, tiered embellished shell earrings and large block rings – some spelling out the word ‘Deus’ – which is latin for God. The standout piece in the collection? Brooches and earrings festooned with scarabs – a symbol of new life and regeneration.
KRISTEN STEWART: Kristen is also on the Cannes Film Festival jury this year. The Chanel ambassador wore a diamond lion brooch from Chanel’s L’Esprit du Lion collection. Fun fact: Gabrielle Chanel was born August 19, 1883, and as a Leo, the lion motif played an important part in the brand’s jewelry collection. She topped off her look with a Chanel fine jewelry diamond bracelet. 
JULIANNE MOORE: Another lady in red, Julianne Moore looked sensational in a red feather cape and gown from Givenchy Haute Couture. She accented her red carpet look with simple yet stunning geometric style diamond drop earrings from Chopard.
FAN BINGBING: The princess has arrived! The Chinese actress and De Beers ambassador floated on the Cannes carpet in a teal confection of a gown. Her De Beers diamond necklace and matching earrings completed Fan’s princess red carpet moment.
