Halsey brought dramatic Gothic glamor to the 79th Cannes Film Festival while attending the “Sheep in the Box” screening at the Palais des Festivals. The singer stepped out on the red carpet in a custom Vivienne Westwood gown that combined sharp tailoring with embellishments, instantly making it one of her boldest Cannes looks to date.

custom The black midi dress featured an ultra-plunging neckline framed by glittering silver embroidery. It extended across the bodice in an armour-like pattern. Structured shoulders gave the gown a strong silhouette, while the cinched waist flowed into a voluminous pleated skirt that added dynamism and drama. The glittering embellishments matched beautifully with the matte black fabric, giving the look both intensity and elegance.
Halsey paired the statement gown with Dior’s pink patent peep-toe bow pumps. She added an unexpected feminine contrast to the otherwise dark ensemble. As mentioned, the shiny heels feature “perforated details, a bow accent on the toe, and a square buckle embellishment in the center,” bringing a soft vintage-inspired touch to the outfit.
The appearance also continued Halsey’s ongoing love affair with bow pumps at Cannes this year. Just a few days ago, the singer attended Kering’s Women in Motion Awards in another bow footwear moment. She wore sheer black tights and navy satin pointed pumps with a vintage Chanel Spring 2009 look. While both styles kept the signature bow detail in place, the pink ones leaned into a more dramatic and evening-ready style.
Halsey kept the style chic with wet-look braided hair, soft makeup, glowing skin, a nude lip and defined eyes. She completed the look with minimal earrings, letting the deep neckline and intricate embellishments remain the focal point.
The whole look felt like a modern reinterpretation of fashion. It was equal parts majestic, glamorous and perfectly suited for Cannes.
