‘Is She in Bathrobe?’: Meryl Streep under Fire for Her Dress at Cannes 2024 & 5 Other ‘Inappropriate’ Looks at Festival

The red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival 2024 showcased moments where fashion took an unexpected turn. In a scenario, five celebrities missed the mark with their style choices, sparking buzz and raising eyebrows among fashion enthusiasts online.

Some stars had questionable outfit combinations while others displayed their daring experiments that went wrong. Their outfits captured cringe-worthy fashion moments on one of the world’s most prestigious stages. Join us as we explore the looks that failed to impress.

Heidi Klum’s Regal Gown Misses the Mark

Heidi Klum stepped on the red carpet in glowing silver heels and a ruffled regal gown, complete with straps and a lengthy train. The dress also featured a daring high middle slit, showcasing her long-toned legs, complemented by a V-neck that elegantly displayed her cleavage.

A video taken on the red carpet shows Heidi showing off her look. The 50-year-old’s blonde hair cascades in loose waves on the short clip, complementing her choice of dark eyeshadow and a subtle nude lip for the fashion event.

However, online users were not loving the dress as much as Heidi. One user said the dress was fit for “younger women,” with another person seemingly agreeing when they commented, “Dress is too small!”

A commenter wrote that the dress was a poor choice because it looked “ill-fitting” on Heidi. Another user chimed on the dress’s shape, writing that the outfit “looks like it wants to be a duvet.”

Heidi’s dress didn’t impress these users who felt like she could have worn something that fit her better and was appropriate for her age.

Meryl Streep’s Simple Look Slammed

Meryl Streep went for the old-school Hollywood glamour for her Cannes outfit when she showed up on the red carpet with a simple white evening gown, which synched her toned waist.

The actress accessorized her look with glittering hanging earrings and a white clutch bag. She had a bright smile on her face for the special night as she was to be honored with the Festival’s Honorary Palme d’Or.

Still, fashion lovers online did not appreciate Meryl Streep’s simple look. “Is she in a bathrobe?” asked a surprised user. Another user posed the same question, “Is she wearing a bathroom?”

“Did she just wear the hotel robe,” a commenter mocked the actress’s outfit. A shocked online user answered these questions, saying, “Meryl Streep looks like she is wearing a bathrobe.” Meryl’s simplicity did not stun users as they felt her gown had no place on the red carpet.

Naomi Campbell’s Throwback Dress Deemed Inappropriate

Naomi Campbell went to Cannes in a dress designed by Karl Lagerfeld from the Chanel Fall Winter Collection of 1996. The dress boasted a sequined bodice and elegant pearl-studded shoulder strap.

The outfit created a striking silhouette with its A-line shape and sheer sequined panels, completing the look with black bottom wear and matching satin heels.

The 53-year-old’s natural curls cascaded freely, complemented by silver dangly earrings, a subtle winged eyeliner, and her radiant complexion.

The supermodel’s throwback look was not received well as fans noted that she could have “worn something more beautiful and classy from what must be her massive wardrobe of phenomenal fashions gathered over the years.”

The fan added that Naomi’s outfit was a “boring see through dress.” A user who also felt the supermodel could have dressed better noted that her outfit was an “Inappropriate dress for a 53-year-old”

A user concurred, “Not appropriate for Cannes.” While Naomi Campbell paid homage to the ’90s in her black sheer dress, fans wondered why she went for an inappropriate look at her age and the occasion.

Anya Taylor-Joy’s Cannes Fashion Fiasco

Anya Taylor-Joy turned heads in a daring ensemble as she stepped out ahead of the Cannes Film Festival. The 28-year-old was spotted leaving the Marriott hotel on May 14, 2024, clad in a sheer white strapless dress that showcased her physique.

The dress, featuring a white bandeau bodysuit beneath sheer chiffon, was adorned with flower appliques. The actress accessorized with a large straw hat slung around her neck and opted for strappy white heels. Anya completed her look with a bold red lip and platinum bob locks.

Fashion enthusiasts online wondered why Anya went for a cheapened look for her time in Cannes, France. “I don’t see any sort of attraction,” wrote a user who dismissed the actress’s outfit.

Another user noted that Anya’s orange dress that she wore the day before looked better than the sheer one. “This is not a good look,” noted the user.

A person agreed that Anya’s look was way off, “She looks like she’s going to the beach.” Anya walked confidently and proudly in her white sheer dress even as people urged her to go for another look.

Victoria Silvstedt’s Age-Inappropriate Fashion Choice

Victoria Silvstedt risked having a wardrobe malfunction on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival due to her choice of outfit. The singer flashed her long gorgeous legs and stunning physique in a purple thigh-high split dress.

The blonde beauty’s dress also showed off her captivating cleavage as she posed on the red carpet. Victoria, who had glamorous makeup on, wore silver strappy heels and a silver choker to finish off her look.

Online users did not like Victoria’s outfit, with one person saying they had never seen a purple marigold dress. “Can it get any worse?” asked the user in reference to Victoria’s dress.

Another user outrightly said no to the outfit, adding, “There’s nothing more unattractive like desperation.” A person agreed that Victoria’s dress had no “class.” “Awful dress and those gloves??” another user chimed in.

Other people wondered who exactly dressed Victoria and lied to her that she looked good in the “awful dress.” “It looks like she ripped the curtains off her living room and wrapped them around herself,” an individual pointed out.

A user suggested that next time, Victoria should go for something more decent. “A beautiful non cut-out gown and more natural hair would make her look much better. But at 55 she still can’t accept aging,” said the user.

Fans concurred that Victoria’s dress would have looked better on her if she hadn’t chosen one that showed most of her body. They urged the “heartbreaker” movie star to dress her age, which would be more attractive and sexier.

The Cannes Film Festival 2024 moments underscore the importance of the right fashion in high-profile events and how outfit choices can spark debates among fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.

As people look forward to next year’s festival, it remains to be seen whether celebrities will consider online users’ feedback and choose more appealing attires.
