Some fashion fans will stand by the Met Gala or the Oscars as their favourite fashion event of the year. For me though, Cannes Film Festival trumps both every single year. With a 10-day itinerary and the inimitably stylish backdrop of the French Riviera, the iconic film festival is a breeding ground for impeccable style, and I am never disappointed.
Whilst I’m always enamoured by the red carpet style at Cannes, it’s the off-duty looks that really capture my attention. Aligning with the rise in temperatures across Europe, the May event feels like the start of the summer season, and as such offers a healthy dose of summer styling inspiration. Ever on the lookout for off-duty inspiration, I’ve already spotted three denim trends that have been championed by the style set over the past few days.
From denim miniskirts to fresh colours, read on to discover the three denim trends that Cannes’ most stylish celebrities have been wearing this week.

Style Notes: I always come back to white jeans during spring and early summer. The light shade is so easy to style with a capsule wardrobe, offering a breath of fresh air and a crisp and bright touch to all of my summer looks. Inspired by Romee Strijd’s chic white jeans and cowboy boots pairing (pictured above), I’ll be imitating this exact look very soon.

Style Notes: Denim midi skirts are trending right now, I’ll always come back to the more playful mini style to form the foundation of all of my best summer looks. Inspired by Anya Taylor-Joy‘s denim skirt and collared blouse pairing, I’ll be shopping my wardrobe to emulate this look for summer.

Style Notes: Fresher than its indigo sisters, light-wash jeans offer just as much versatility as your favourite mid-wash and dark-wash pairs, but with a light and summery edge. I like to anchor the lighter shade with rich burgundy or navy hues, but Taylor Hill’s butter yellow pairing reminds me that there’s hardly a colour that light blue doesn’t go with.

Straight-leg jeans are a worthy investment that will never go out of style.
