15 celebrities at their first Cannes Film Festival if you want to relive ’90s and ’00s fashion

Every year in May, the biggest actors gather from around the world to celebrate everything film. The Cannes Film Festival is a celebration of culture as much as it is a chance to screen the latest and greatest movies. And since today marks the first day of the 70th annual Cannes Film Festival, which takes place in Cannes, France, we decided to round up some of our favorite celebrities’ first Cannes looks, because you know, nostalgia. Remember in 2005 when it was cool to wear jeans on the red carpet?!
Well, things have changed! And some Hollywood power women like Scarlett Johansson and Uma Thurman remind us of the ever-important power of the #glowup. From ruffled blouses to trousers to fruit dresses, Cannes has no shortage of interesting looks.
