Cannes 2026: Airport Fashion Takes Flight

The 2026 Cannes Film Festival is underway, and before the stars light up the red carpet, they make a statement at Nice Airport.

Star Arrivals at Nice Airport

Nice Airport has become a fashion runway of its own, setting the stage for what’s to come at the film festival. Celebrity arrivals are watched closely for early hints of the red-carpet glamour. Over the years, the airport has grown into a space where brand ambassadors flaunt the latest collections. Last year saw Pedro Pascal in Bottega Veneta’s intrecciato weave and Isabelle Huppert in Balenciaga’s oversized sneakers.

Brand Showcases in Airport Style

This year, celebrities continue the trend of turning airport terminals into fashion showcases. Diego Calva landed in Cannes wearing a full Ferragamo pre-fall 2026 outfit, complete with leather pants. Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt, known for her affiliation with Gucci, paired a black Jackie bag with a Carolina Herrera capri set.

Neutral Staples and Bold Statements

Classic neutral staples remain a favorite at the airport. Riley Keough, Simone Ashley, and Barbara Palvin embraced khaki trenches—Keough and Ashley over white dresses, while Palvin combined her look with a button-up shirt, trousers, and sneakers. On the other hand, Isabella Rossellini made a bold statement in a multicolored, multipatterned housecoat adorned with sequins, proving that travel attire can be both comfortable and stylish.

As the festival continues, keep an eye on the evolving fashion statements at Nice Airport, promising a preview of the glamour to come on the Croisette.
