Hayley Atwell in Giambattista Valli

This installment allegedly puts a bow on the Mission: Impossible franchise -- at least as embodied by Tom Cruise -- and so it's apt that Hayley essentially dressed as the bow.

Angela Bassett in Burberry

I don't love how the top part of this looks like a shirt I bought at Express in 2004. The bottom is neat, and I want more of that and less stretch ruching. Also, PERFECT purse. This is a popcorn flick extraordinnaire.

Greg Tarzan Davis in Dior

Excellent. That pin at his neck makes the whole thing.

With TC

Greg must get along great with Tom, because he's ALSO in Top Gun: Maverick, albeit underused there.

Hannah Waddingham

She is a queen, but I find myself wishing the skirt were actually an exuberant wrap.

You can see the intricacies of the necklace really well here.

Pom Klementieff in Loewe

This is the best thing she's worn so far, and I say that while not even entirely sure how I feel about it. The color works on her, and it's interesting...?

Tramell Tillman

That suit jacket looks fabulous on him.

Andie MacDowell

Thoroughly delightful BUT the bow tie is too big. I know that's a style some people prefer, but for my money it looks clownish.

Halle Berry in Celia Kritharioti

I appreciate her for trying different things, truly, and I've decided this is ALSO her testing the train waters to see what else she can pull off now that Cannes is SUPPOSEDLY being a tightwad. But this looks like a prototype of a reversible Barbie gown that broke.

It's very banal from the back. Just sort of big and blobby.

Eva Longoria in Elie Saab

Gorgeous. The Lady Longoria stuck this landing. (Funny how she was the Widow Longoria, and now thanks to Only Murders she's Lady Longoria to me.)

Heidi Klum in Elie Saab

Great idea, but it doesn't seem to fit her chest.

Wan QianHui

She went straight from a giant duvet to a sparkly jungle cat. She did NOT come here to flarg around.

"Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning" Red Carpet - The 78th Annual Cannes Film Festival

We DEFINITELY needed this close-up.

Irina Shayk in vintage Yves Saint Laurent

This looks dated, because it is. I think I'd have left it in the past. It's depressing, and she did absolutely nothing with the styling to elevate it at all. She's almost hiding that big blue ring, and that's the only chipper part of this.

William Abadie

In contrast, this is a VERY HAPPY outfit.

Zoe Saldana in Saint Laurent

Well, it's clean and simple, anyway.

"Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning" Red Carpet - The 78th Annual Cannes Film Festival

I didn't mean to grab both these photos, but now that I have: She's wearing the jacket a bit more in this pic, which I like. I've decided it's an ode to Maverick.

Aliia Roza

I really wish I'd seen her walking in this. Does the skirt STAY like that, or is this just expertly fanned?

Emma Todt

Why does this dress look like it's collapsing in on itself?

Sofia Boutella

Lord, this looks like someone tried to copy an Herve Leger bandage dress but with a different material.

Chloe Lecareux

She looks like she's waiting for someone to come up and wonder if this is nudity. (It is not, to me, but I feel like people must still be a little nervous. And then by tomorrow probably will forget this ever happened.)

Lilly Krug

Her Venetian blinds really are on the fritz.

Sandra Ackerl

This is VERY good.

Heather and Christopher McQuarrie

I think her dress is so romantic. Like, he should sweep her into a waltz, except that I guess they'd fall down the stairs.

Ophelie Meunier

INTRIGUING. But wow, wrong shoes.

Ginta Biku

ALSO intriguing. That's some gorgeous workmanship, even if it results in a dress that has me tilting my head involuntarily when I look at it.

Julia De Cadenet and Felicity

Look at Felicity FEARLESSLY sporting a train. Obstructionist fears be DAMNED!

I think you've seen everyone in this pic except for Simon Pegg, so... there's Simon Pegg! I like his jacket.

Mission: Impossible Swept Through Cannes

On Day 2.
