Just because the event isn't taking place as scheduled, that doesn't mean we can't celebrate 70 years of iconic fashion.

Every year, the world&#39;s biggest celebrities, actors, and filmmakers gather together on the French Riviera&nbsp;for the <a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/jewellery-watches/cannes-2019-who-are-the-stars-in-chopard">Cannes Film Festival</a>. The two-week festival is full of glitz and glam, high fashion, and, of course, incredible films.&nbsp;The event has existed officially since 1946, but unfortunately this year the festival as we know it will not&nbsp;take&nbsp;place due to Covid-19.

We&#39;ll be missing the outrageous fashion looks on <a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/fashion/oscars2020-our-favourite-looks-on-the-red-carpet" target="_blank">this year&#39;s red carpet</a>, but in lieu&nbsp;of the glamorous premieres, we&#39;re taking&nbsp;a look back at some of the amazing fashion moments the event has seen in years past.

We&#39;ve gathered some of the most iconic looks to grace the red carpet at Cannes from the 1950s to the 2010s &mdash; from Grace Kelly to Princess Diana to <a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/beauty/fenty-beauty-cheeks-out-vivid-colours-for-a-fresh-natural-glow" target="_blank">Rihanna</a>.
