Daisy Edgar-Jones's Matching Gucci Set Is the Chicest Swap for a Summer Dress I've Ever Seen in Cannes
Everyone on the French Riviera will wear this combo all summer long.


From the moment she set foot at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, Daisy Edgar-Jones has running a one-woman Gucci marathon. She and stylist Dani Michelle have showed the label's range on each and every red carpet, turning from a chocolate brown dress set with circular pailettes one day (at the May 18 premiere of The Phoenician Scheme) to a drop-waist velvet and sequin midi the next (for the Kering Women in Motion Awards the following evening).
These looks definitely deliver on the unofficial Cannes dress code: all-out glamour, at all hours of the day. But it's the very first, extremely casual Gucci matching set Edgar-Jones wore to touch down at the festival that I'm eyeing for more than the best-dressed list. I want to buy it right from the actress's closet and wear it in place of all my summer dresses.

Edgar-Jones also wore the designer to the Kering Women In Motion Awards.
Daisy Edgar-Jones likewise chose head-to-toe Gucci for a walk to her hotel on the famed French waterfront. She looked like a living illustration of Croisette style, in an oversize poplin top with dainty eyelet embroidery along the V-neckline and sleeves. Teeny-tiny eyelet shorts were concealed beneath her Gucci top, creating the illusion of a micro-mini dress. She committed to her Cannes resident character with a Gucci Bamboo 1947 bag and wraparound white sandals.
Daisy Edgar-Jones arrived at the festival in a matching Gucci set that's bound to take over the French Riviera.
The wardrobes of Cannes regulars like Bella Hadid, Eva Longoria, and Selena Gomez will claim breezy white sundresses are the standard in casual outfits at the film festival. But Edgar-Jones's Gucci matching set makes a compelling argument for flowing tops and ultra short-shorts. Her all-white outfit easily passes the vibe check for a beachfront weekend. Her drawstring shorts and oversize cotton shirt, however, can function as both a beach cover-up and an evening dinner outfit with the right strappy heels and wicker summer bag.
When I say I'm shopping the sets below to replace the tiered dresses I wore in 2024, I mean it.
