Some people are questioning the presence of models at the Cannes Film Festival. We, for one, are happy about them being there because few can bring fierce fashion like models can.

While actors arrived in big ball gowns, classic Hollywood glamour, and princess moments, the models — namely Karlie Kloss, Doutzen Kroes, and Liya Kebede — brought looks that were actually exciting.

Karlie Kloss lead the model invasion in an Atelier Versace fall 2014 silver one-leg pantsuit previously seen on Jennifer Lopez. She paired the look with metallic silver pumps also from the Italian fashion house.

Doutzen Kroes was another model who got styling help from the house of Versace. The 30-year-old Dutch model oozed sex appeal in a one-shoulder gown with a slashed cutout in front and an up-to-there thigh split.

Like Karlie’s ensemble, Doutzen’s dress has also been previously spotted on another actress, but Doutzen was able to make the style all her own. Silver Jimmy Choo “Minny” ankle strap sandals and a loose ponytail completed her minimalist look.

Completing the trio of L’Oreal Paris model spokespersons was Liya Kebede. Deciding to break the Versace streak, Liya went with a head-to-toe Louis Vuitton Fall 2015 look.

The Ethiopian-born model forwarded the classic Cannes red carpet to the space age in her silver sequined long-sleeve mini dress. She accessorized with a straight-off-the-runway gold trunk clutch and black snake-embossed slingback pumps.
