The amfAR Gala returned to Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc during the Cannes Film Festival with its annual blend of cinema, fashion, and philanthropy along the Côte d’Azur. Arriving for the evening in a crystal-embellished couture gown by Mikael D paired with Harry Winston jewelry, Victoria Barbara approached the red carpet with a more refined interpretation of glamour — one shaped through light, texture, and movement. Against the atmosphere of Cap d’Antibes and the intensity of the Cannes social season, the silver-toned silhouette balanced old-Hollywood elegance with a sharper modern sensuality.
