A STANDING OVATION is commonplace at the Cannes Film Festival. So far this year, the likes of Francis Ford Coppola’s divisive passion project, Megalopolis; Andrea Arnold’s Barry Keoghan-led drama, Bird; Jacques Audiard’s Spanish-language musical, Emilia Pérez; and Coralie Fargeat’s body horror, The Substance have been met with an extended round of applause.

The menswear looks on the festival’s red carpet deserve the same kind of commotion as, truly, these guys rarely look better than they do on the French Riviera.Historical Cannes moments that have secured a forever spot on our Pinterest boards include a 2021 Spike Lee in a Virgil Abloh-designed pink Louis Vuitton suit, a 2019 Miles Teller in a floral John Elliott shirt, a 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger in an even jazzier shirt, and a 1985 Harrison Ford in a quintessential black tux.

Here are the 2024 ‘fits worthy of your bravos, and a place on your mood board.
