Maura Higgins Wore Andrew Kwon Couture at Cannes 2026
Maura Higgins wowed at Cannes 2026 in a dramatic black Andrew Kwon couture gown with oversized sleeves and a sweeping train.
Maura Higgins made sure all eyes were on her at the 79th Annual Cannes Film Festival as she stepped onto the red carpet in a jaw-dropping Andrew Kwon Fall/Winter 2023 couture gown.
The Love Island and Traitors star fully embraced dramatic fashion for the occasion, wearing a structured black satin gown with a striking white bandeau neckline that instantly gave the look a timeless Hollywood feel. But this wasn’t your typical minimalist Cannes dress. The real showstopper came from the oversized sculptural sleeves and the enormous flowing train that followed behind her across the carpet.
From the front, the gown looked sleek and sculpted, hugging Maura’s figure perfectly before falling into a clean, elongated silhouette. Then the back revealed an entirely different level of drama. The sweeping black train spread across the red carpet like couture artwork, creating one of the boldest fashion moments of the night.
Maura styled the look beautifully with a vintage-inspired beauty moment that worked perfectly with the gown’s old-school glamour. Her hair was styled in soft retro waves with volume at the crown, while her bronzed makeup and sculpted eyeliner kept the overall vibe polished and sophisticated. She also kept the jewelry minimal, allowing the dramatic construction of the Andrew Kwon design to stay center stage.
What made the outfit stand out even more was its balance between elegance and theatricality. Cannes fashion is known for over-the-top couture moments, and Maura understood the assignment completely. The exaggerated sleeves and train could have easily overwhelmed the look, but the fitted silhouette kept everything refined and red carpet ready.
This year’s Cannes Film Festival has already delivered several unforgettable style moments, from Demi Moore shimmering in Jacquemus couture to Heidi Klum’s glamorous Elie Saab gown and Kimberley Garner’s dreamy floral Galia Lahav look. Maura Higgins definitely earned her place among the festival’s best-dressed stars.
