Cannes Film Festival: Why the clutch remains the true star of the red carpet

Every year, the Cannes Film Festival celebrates cinema, but also a certain idea of style.

Unforgettable dresses, iconic silhouettes, and an accessory that discreetly crosses the decades: the clutch bag.

Small in size, immense in impact.

Because a red carpet look is often built on details.

Unlike everyday bags, the clutch has only one mission: to enhance.

It accompanies a gesture, balances a silhouette, and adds precision to an outfit.

Minimalist or precious, discreet or assertive, it often becomes the detail we notice without immediately understanding why.

Over the years, the Cannes Film Festival has established an aesthetic:

The clutch holds a special place: it completes without dominating.

The most beautiful pieces are often those that stand the test of time.

Some vintage clutches possess this particular elegance: that of objects created to last.

Timeless lines, couture details, a style that resists seasons.

For our next Iconic Live, we have curated a selection inspired by this world:

sophisticated clutches, evening pieces, and models that would have perfectly found their place on a red carpet.

Because some pieces are made for the spotlight.
