The 72nd Annual Cannes Film Festival just wrapped and there were too many fashion wins to go unnoticed. Though the event is a forum for top actors, directors and producers to view, buy and sell films, the red carpet is usually what steals the show. Despite the on-going conversation about the lack of diversity in film, our brothers and sisters showed up and showed out this year in France. Get into our favorite Black fashion moments below.
