On this week’s best-dressed list, celebrities turned up for their major red-carpet moments at Cannes Film Festival and Billboard Music Awards 2017 in silhouettes that courted tradition, and embellishment that flaunted glittering angles. When it comes to the youth brigade – like Kendall Jenner, Elle Fanning, and Bella Hadid – a little skin reveal was in order, but veteran red carpet A-listers like Nicole Kidman and Uma Thurman certainly gave them a run for their money. Below, the week’s eight best looks.

Gown by Giambattista Valli
