Paul Mescal made a glamorous appearance at the 78th Cannes Film Festival last night, where he attended the premiere of his newest film, The History of Sound.

Established in 1946, and running this year from Tue, May 13, 2025 – Sat, May 24, 2025, the festival has been one of the most watched events in the celebrity and fashion calendar, with some of fashion history's most memorable looks appearing on the steps of the Palais des Festivals.

Mescal had landed in the chic French city days before his event, attending the Kering Women in Motion gala alongside Charli XCX, Nicole Kidman, Salma Hayek and more.

Styled by Felicity Kay, his ensemble was typically eye-catching: a Gucci suit with a pale cream shirt accented with a gold hoop.

The look certainly set the tone for what the Aftersun star would wear for his premiere.

Also styled by Kay, Mescal stepped out in a monochromatic black outfit by Gucci, pairing a sharply tailored black blazer with flared black trousers and a matching black shirt that had a loose, retro-inspired tie detail. He finished his look with black dress shoes and a gold earring.

Also walking the red carpet for the premiere was singer Gracie Abrams, who is believed to be dating Mescal, and who wore an elegant black midi-length dress by Chanel, with beaded straps and a matching shawl.

Supermodel Coco Rocha turned heads in her red carpet look, wearing a design by Inout Ravzan that was made to resemble multiple shirt collars. She paired that with towering hair and statement earrings.
