The Best Cannes Film Festival Looks From the Beginning of It All

The Cannes Film Festival is coming up in about a month, May 16-27th. The French film festival is the world's most prestigious film festival and has been active for over 70 years. Started in 1946, the Cannes Film Festival celebrates the art of film. However, fashion is a significant part of the festival. Celebrities walking down the red carpet with cameras flashing each and every way is one of the biggest parts. 

Here are some of the best looks of the Cannes Film Festival since the beginning:
