Demi Moore’s Sleek Cannes Look Is My New Outfit Formula for Summer Weddings and Parties — Shop It from $15

Demi Moore did not pack lightly for Cannes. 

The 61-year-old actress attended the film festival for the premiere of The Substance and made multiple red carpet appearances in glamorous gowns by Schiaparelli, Armani, and Balenciaga. But it was her comparatively casual photocall look that’s stuck with me since (and not only because she arrived cradling her adorable dog Pilaf). 

I recently went to a wedding and didn’t love what I wore, but Moore’s combo of sleek cat eye sunglasses, a strapless maxi dress, and pointed-toe flats would have been perfect — so I’m bookmarking this outfit recipe for the next summer wedding or formal party that comes up. 

Another thing I love about this outfit blueprint is that each of the pieces are so versatile. You can wear the sunglasses and flats on a regular basis after the event, and the dress style is so timeless, it will always be good to have on hand as an “in case of emergency” option.

Endless Rose Strapless Linen Dress

Moore and I both feel at home in black and dark colors, as I recently learned from rewatching The Zoe Project (Moore was a long time client of Rachel Zoe and features prominently on the series). Going strapless makes a dark maxi dress much more summer-friendly, both visually and in terms of comfort. Moore’s dress was created by the Milan-based brand Del Core, but we found affordable options at Nordstrom, Lulus, and Amazon — all $150 or less.

Dolce Vita Nadav Flats

Unfortunately, the black By Far Regina Flats that Moore wore are just about entirely sold out (except for size 35), but these pointed-toe black leather Dolce Vita flats make a good stand-in. Like the sunglasses, the flats bring the fancy dress down a notch and are super practical if you plan to dance the night away. For more ideas, check out these pairs from Jeffrey Campbell and Amazon Essentials.

Aire Linea Sunglasses

Stylist Brad Goreski shared all the outfit details on Instagram, naming Olivier Peoples as the brand behind Moore’s cat eye frames. Her exact pair are the $545 Avelin sunglasses, but I found similar sunnies at Shopbop, Warby Parker, and Amazon starting at $15. Sunglasses add an instant cool factor to a formal dress, and they just make sense for summer celebrations where it will be light late.
