1. Margot Robbie had a Sharon Tate moment at the Cannes Film Festival
Margot Robbie is one known to slay the red carpet (every single time) and at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival, it was no different. The new beauty ambassador for Chanel turned up for her Once Upon a Time in Hollywood photocall dressed in, well, Chanel (duh) and face-framing braids. If you thought that was pretty unexpected from the Australian beauty, she had a reason for wearing them. The major throwback hairstyle was a nod to actress Sharon Tate (of who Robbie plays in the film).

Marking his first runway show for a cruise collection, Giorgio Armani’s new collection consisted of relaxed and easy (with lots of fluid shapes) silhouettes, soft and natural textures (think linen, silk and satin accented with leather trim and sumptuous knits), as well as accessories that remained big and bold.
