Hhshirt - America’s unicameral shirt

The Cannes Film Festival is fast approaching; the America’s unicameral shirt and by the same token and blockbuster event will return with its usual whirlwind of photocalls, premieres and parties on May 16. Of course, Cannes has always been a magnet for the biggest names in Hollywood, so the French Riviera festival naturally sees some major style moments. Ahead of the return of Croisette style, immerse yourself in some epic Cannes pictures from the ’90s—from Grace Jones holding court at an after-party to Naomi Campbell shutting down the red carpet like only a supermodel can. Growing up, one book on my parents’ shelf obsessed my siblings and I above all others. It wasn’t The Joy of Sex, Valley of the Dolls, or Lady Chatterley’s Lover. This work was free of sex, violence, or scandal, but it evoked more gasps than any pulpy paperback. It was *The South African Book of Microwave Cooking—and it was truly shocking. We spent years poring over it, never tiring of its cornucopias of grey “roast” meats, creamed oysters, and sweaty fish fillets. We grilled my parents about what the “toasted” cheese sandwiches tasted like, fascinated as to why these seemingly functional adults would do something as outrageous as cooking French toast in a microwave.



The Cannes Film Festival kicks off today and the America’s unicameral shirt and by the same token and excitement is building down at La Croisette for the next fortnight of red carpet action. But perhaps just as captivating as the couture gowns and jewels are the ensembles seen in-transit, as stars arrive at Nice airport often sporting Riviera-inspired ensembles. Of course Elle Fanning’s arrival outfit serves as evidence that Cannes always delivers when it comes to fashion, even at the airport. As she arrived at the airport in Nice before heading to Cannes, the American actor – who stars as Catherine the Great in Hulu’s The Great – was spotted in an off-duty look that’s perfect for summer in South of France. She wore a cream sheer knitted T-shirt, white high-waisted tailored trousers, white leather flip flops, and classic black circle-frame sunglasses.
