Cate Blanchett turned to Stella McCartney’s recent spring 2026 ready-to-wear collection. The dress featured playful feathery elements throughout, creating a distinct textural dimension. The appliqués wear actually “painted bits of greenery,” per Samantha Conti’s review of the collection from the dress hails. The two-time Oscar winner’s look was curated by stylist Elizabeth Stewart.

Naomi Campbell

Naomi Campbell revisited John Galliano’s spring 1996 collection. The longtime model wore an ethereal white dress with delicate embroidery and small, leaf-shaped cutouts throughout. The dress was also crafted with an asymmetric neckline. Though a throwback to the mid-’90s, the dress still retained its timelessness and versatility nearly 30 years on.
Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum favored a dramatic gown from Elie Saab’s fall 2025 couture collection. Loosely inspired by Sofia Coppola’s 2006 film “Marie Antoinette,” the collection featured an excessive playfulness, with Klum’s dress featuring voluminous fabric at the back and a fitted silhouette with muted pink florals embroidering the skirt and bodice.
Presented annually by Hubert Burda Media, the 2025 edition of the Bambi Awards recognized excellence in media and television throughout the last year. This year, the Bambi Awards honored Heidi Klum for her entertainment contributions and Cate Blanchett with the international actress award.
