Hande Erçel Stuns in Pink Giambattista Valli Gown at Cannes 2025

Hande Erçel dazzles at Cannes 2025 in fairy-tale pink gown.
Launched on May 13, 2025, the 78th Cannes Film Festival brings together fashion and film on France’s glitzy Riviera. Juliette Binoche presided over this year’s festival, which featured a stylish competition for Turkish celebrities. As one of the names that has consistently been on the agenda due to her work and her relationship with Hakan Sabancı, Hande Erçel walked the red carpet.
She appeared as though she had walked out of a fairy tale on the second day of the festival when she attended the premiere of “Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning” wearing a pink dress designed by Giambattista Valli.
On social media, the 31-year-old actress received praise for her sophisticated look. These are all the specifics about Erçel’s appearance in Cannes!
On May 14, 2025, Hande Erçel walked the renowned red carpet at the Palais des Festivals. With its sophisticated silhouette and billowing skirt, the pink, strapless dress she selected from Giambattista Valli Couture’s Fall 2024 collection perfectly captured the essence of Hollywood glitz. Erçel’s decision followed perfectly with the festival’s policy that “transparent and nudity-containing clothing is prohibited” this year, according to Vogue Turkey’s May 13, 2025 report.
The Cannes Film Festival is nothing new to Hande Erçel. The actress, who served as the ambassador for the Pomellato jewelry company at the festival in 2023 and 2024, made her third appearance on the red carpet this year.
This time, the actress delighted her fans with a more subdued color scheme, having drawn attention to herself at the Megalopolis gala last year with her red Balmain dress. Erçel’s ascent in the fashion industry is demonstrated by the fact that Harper’s Bazaar Arabia named her one of the “25 best-dressed celebrities of Cannes” in 2024.
There was more to Hande Erçel’s trip to Cannes than just clothes and movies. The red carpet was much more vivid because of her friendship with Hakan Sabancı.
Last year, Sabancı went to Cannes with Erçel, and their affectionate red carpet poses went viral on social media, according to Akşam’s May 25, 2024 story.
Sabancı reportedly backed Erçel at this year’s event but let her walk the red carpet by herself.
