The 2025 Cannes Film Festival reached a peak of cinematic and sartorial brilliance on Saturday night, May 17th, as Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson stepped onto the red carpet for the world premiere of Die, My Love. Directed by Lynne Ramsay, the film, an adaptation of Ariana Harwicz’s acclaimed 2017 novel, explores the raw complexities of postpartum psychosis. Both stars delivered riveting performances, receiving a 9-minute standing ovation. However, it was on the red carpet where sensations ran high as the stars made their mark appearing in custom ensembles by Dior.

Lawrence captivated attendees in an off-white silk taffeta inspired by the historic Poulenc 1949 look from Dior’s archives. Her flowing dress with its sculptural tailoring and ethereal lightness, evoked Old Hollywood glamour with elaborate pleated layering.

Meanwhile, Pattinson, a longtime Dior Men's ambassador, brought quiet authority to the red carpet wearing a modern black wool tuxedo by Kim Jones. The shawl-collar contributed to its understated appeal, and paired with a crisp white shirt, black silk bow tie, and high-shine patent leather shoes, the look was all precision and confidence amid the fervent paparazzi.

Both stars completed their looks with Dior Beauty. Lawrence’s natural look leaned into her natural glow with soft radiance, while Pattinson’s grooming brought both polish and edge.

Their style story continued the following day at the film’s photocall, where both stars shifted into a relaxed and refined Dior wardrobe. Lawrence wore a beige silk dress with delicate tonal floral embroidery, while Pattinson embraced Riviera leisure with a springtime palette. His look: a supple brown leather jacket layered over a pale blue overshirt and yellow cotton tee spoke of texture, ease, and fluidity.

As Die, My Love premieres in the official competition at Cannes, Lawrence and Pattinson have already made their mark both on screen and on the red carpet. For Lawrence, the film represents a return to dramatic territory after her comedic turn in 2023's No Hard Feelings, while Pattinson continues to build on his reputation for selecting challenging roles. The nine-minute standing ovation suggests both performers have delivered memorable work that may well carry through to awards season.

Yet even as the critical conversation builds around Ramsay's haunting adaptation, it's the visual poetry of Lawrence and Pattinson in Dior that has provided some of the festival's most captivating moments. In the grand tradition of Cannes, where cinema and style have always been inseparable, these two stars have added their own distinctive chapter to the festival's illustrious fashion legacy.
