Halsey brought dramatic gothic glamour to the 79th Cannes Film Festival while attending the “Sheep in the Box” screening at Palais des Festivals. The singer stepped onto the red carpet in a custom Vivienne Westwood gown that combined sharp tailoring with embellishment, instantly making it one of her boldest Cannes looks yet.

The custom black midi dress featured an ultra-plunging neckline framed by shimmering silver embroidery. It stretched across the bodice in an armor-like pattern. Structured shoulders gave the gown a strong silhouette, while the cinched waist flowed into a voluminous pleated skirt that added movement and drama. The sparkling embellishments contrasted beautifully against the matte black fabric, giving the look both intensity and elegance.
Halsey paired the statement gown with Dior’s pink patent peep-toe bow pumps. They added an unexpected feminine contrast to the otherwise dark ensemble. As noted by sources, the glossy heels featured “perforated detailing, a bow accent at the toe, and a square buckle embellishment at the center,” bringing a softer vintage-inspired touch to the outfit.
The appearance also continued Halsey’s ongoing love affair with bow pumps at Cannes this year. Just days earlier, the singer attended Kering’s Women in Motion Awards in another bow footwear moment. She wore navy satin pointed pumps paired with sheer black tights and a vintage Chanel Spring 2009 look. While both styles kept the signature bow detail in place, the pink ones leaned into a more dramatic and evening-ready style.
Halsey kept the styling sleek with a wet-look braided hair, soft makeup featuring glowing skin, nude lips, and defined eyes. She completed the look with minimal earrings, allowing the plunging neckline and intricate embellishments to remain the focal point.
The entire look felt like a modern reinterpretation of couture. It was equal parts regal, edgy, and perfect for Cannes.
