Greek fashion icon Anthi Fakidari turned heads at the prestigious amfAR Gala during the 78th Cannes Film Festival, held at the iconic Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France.
The star-studded event, aimed at raising funds for HIV and AIDS research, welcomed global celebrities showcasing designs from top fashion houses like Chanel, Giorgio Armani, and Saint Laurent.
Fakidari stole the spotlight in a striking black, see-through strapless gown, perfectly paired with sleek black stilettos and dazzling blue diamond jewelry. Her bold and elegant look solidified her status as a showstopper at one of the festival’s most glamorous nights, attended by luminaries such as Spike Lee, Tonia Lewis Lee, Colman Domingo, Heidi Klum, and Ellen von Unwerth.
This marks Fakidari’s second consecutive year captivating audiences at the amfAR Gala, further cementing her rising influence in the global fashion industry. Over the past two years, the Greek model has collaborated with legendary designers, including Chanel, Giorgio Armani, Givenchy, Ralph Lauren, and Isabel Marant. Notably, she made history as the first Greek model to walk the iconic Victoria’s Secret runway in 2024, donning the brand’s signature wings during its highly anticipated return after a six-year hiatus. She shared the catwalk with fashion heavyweights like the Hadid sisters, Iman Hammam, Kate Moss, Tyra Banks, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Doutzen Kroes.
Fakidari’s Cannes appearance underscores her growing prominence, blending Greek elegance with international flair, and continues to inspire fashion enthusiasts worldwide.
