It was undoubtedly a star-studded event at the 2023 Palm Springs International Film Festival, but just as impressive as standout performances from films such as The Whale, Elvis, Women Talking, Till, The Banshees of Inisherin, Tár, The Woman King, Living, and Everything Everywhere All at Once were the style choices of honoured actors, directors, and guests.
Cate Blanchett once again delivered on her legacy of effortless fashion-forward style in a textured jumpsuit with a plunging neckline, cape sleeves, and silver sequins, while Michelle Yeoh’s choice displayed Schiaparelli’s expertise in folding and pleating with her baby-blue silk skirt and a gloriously embellished top.
Michelle Williams presented a picture of elegant simplicity in a Prada sleeveless pinstripe black minidress with embroidered shoulder detailing. Viola Davis stood out from the crowd with colour blocking at its finest in a Tory Burch custom design.
