The Best Dressed Stars of the Week Perfected Spring Style
Upbeat colors, easy-breezy silhouettes—from Taylor Swift to Barbara Palvin Sprouse, these red carpet stars nailed the art of dressing for spring.

Spring gets slept on. Everyone's either mourning their chunky knits or already fantasizing about barely-there summer looks — but the in-between season has its own very specific power. Lighter fabrics, color that doesn't feel desperate, skin on show without the humidity tax. This week's most stylish women figured that out, and dressed accordingly.
Cannes Is Doing What Cannes Does
According to Vogue, the 79th Cannes Film Festival is already delivering the kind of red carpet moments that make everything else feel underdressed. Barbara Palvin, visibly pregnant and luminous, wore a cornflower blue Miu Miu gown with feathered trim that was soft and considered — not the usual bump-on-a-red-carpet moment. Director Chloé Zhao went full armor in a spiked Schiaparelli skirt suit, proving she's been quietly winning Cannes on the style front all week. And Kristen Stewart did what Kristen Stewart does best — wore barely-there Chanel and made it look entirely intentional.
Spring dressing at Cannes is its own particular challenge: the Croisette demands glamour, but the season asks for something more breathable, less maximalist. The women who landed it this week understood that the most striking looks aren't always the loudest ones.
Off the red carpet, New York had its own moment. Lindsay Lohan showed up to the Gucci Resort 2027 show in a sleek leather dress that read distinctly Tom Ford-era — stretched, precise, and unapologetically body-conscious under Demna's direction. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift attended a friend's wedding in Bushwick in a gold silk cut-out dress by Maria Lucia Hohan, the kind of piece that only works when you fully commit to it. Swift has been all over Manhattan this week, which raises the obvious question: are we heading into another summer of relentless Swiftie sightings in the city? Signs point to yes.
What ties all of it together isn't a single trend — it's the confidence of women who dressed for the actual season rather than the one they're anticipating. Spring isn't a placeholder; it's an opportunity, and this week proved it.
