While most eyes are on the one-of-kind gowns gracing the world’s most glamorous red carpet in Cannes, the pared-back outfits that celebs are wearing around town are also worthy of a closer examination. As we all prepare to make this summer one of our most stylish ones yet, those elevated-casual moments offer a chic lesson in dressing to impress.
So far, Anya Taylor-Joy has been serving nonstop in everything from Dior ball gowns to dramatic Jacquemus frocks with trains. But the beautiful simplicity of her denim-miniskirt outfit is truly worth copying this summer.
In the same vein, the legendary Meryl Streep has become a sartorial source of inspiration, turning a suit into a coastal-cool look with nautical stripes.

Out of all of the polished looks, we’ve gathered the six best to make getting dressed to impress a cinch.
Bella Hadid
Never underestimate the power of a ’90s-inspired tank dress. Hadid shows the ever-enduring appeal of the sleek silhouette by pairing it with vintage kitten-heeled mules and a floral bag.
Anya Taylor-Joy
Balance the youthfulness of a denim miniskirt with the ladylike touch of a collared floral top and metallic pumps.
Taylor Hill
Mix mellow pastels to create a look that’s sure to be a sartorial success—but don’t stop there. Add a pair of crystal-embellished flats for the ultimate cool-girl stamp of approval.
Meryl Streep
Master the art of summer suiting with a seasonally appropriate striped shirt and sun-blocking straw hat.
Cindy Bruna
