La Croisette Collection: A Red Carpet Watches Showcase from the Cannes Film Festival 2025

A$AP Rocky made a stylish entrance at the 78th Annual Cannes Film Festival for the photocall of "Highest 2 Lowest", marking his first lead role in a feature film. Directed by Spike Lee and co-starring Denzel Washington, the project has generated major buzz, and Rocky seemed entirely at ease soaking in the spotlight for this major career milestone.

Never one to miss a fashion moment, Rocky wore sleek new Ray-Ban frames –fittingly, as the brand’s first-ever creative director – and paired them with the elegant Patek Philippe Nautilus in 18k yellow gold (ref. 3800/1J). It was a sharp, effortless look that capped off an already headline-grabbing run following his Met Gala appearance.
 

On the evening red carpet, A$AP Rocky chose the powerful allure of the Bulgari Monete collection, wearing a statement Monete Catene High Jewelry secret watch paired with a matching high jewelry brooch and ring, both adorned with deep red rubellites. This pairing not only elevated his red carpet look but also highlighted Bulgari’s ability to combine bold colors with refined luxury.

Rocky’s choice reaffirmed Bulgari’s position as a leading luxury house that bridges heritage and modernity, perfectly suited to high-profile moments and the world’s most discerning tastemakers.
 

Jennifer Lawrence, the epitome of Longines elegance, graced the red carpet at the premiere of "Die, My Love" at the iconic Palais des Festivals. Unsurprisingly, her presence brought a touch of timeless sophistication to the prestigious event.

For the occasion, Jennifer wore a Longines DolceVita ref. L5.255.4.71.0. A perfect complement to her refined and graceful appearance, the watch’s classic design echoes the understated glamor that defines both the brand and Lawrence, herself.
 

Greg Tarzan Davis, star of "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning", turned heads on the Cannes red carpet in a crisp white Dior look with a structured bar coat. He added flair with a Boucheron Double Plumes clip in gold, rubies, and diamonds, showcasing his bold sense of style.

Davis completed his look with the limited-edition Chopard L.U.C XP Urushi Spirit of Shí Chen.

Crafted in ethical rose gold and limited to 88 pieces, the watch features a hand-lacquered dial and rotating zodiac disk, merging fine watchmaking with cultural artistry and heritage.
 

For the photocall of "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning", the actor opted for the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Small Seconds in 18k pink gold (750/1000) with that luscious Milanese bracelet. It was a refined choice that perfectly captured the spirit of understated sophistication.
 

Later that evening, Tramell Tillman made a bold statement on the red carpet wearing the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph, also in 18k pink gold (750/1000).

This double-faced watch showcases two distinct yet harmonious dials. The first embodies classic Tribute aesthetics with a black sunray finish, gadroons, Dauphine hands, and a railroad minute track. The other, on the reverse side, features a chronograph display with contemporary flair.
 

For the premiere of "The Phoenician Scheme", Benedict Cumberbatch paired his Prada tuxedo and custom black sling with the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Date.

The ultra-slim 7.8mm profile, sunray-brushed blue-grey dial, and understated date display made this piece the perfect match for black-tie elegance. Meanwhile, with its 39mm stainless steel case and black alligator leather strap, this Master Ultra Thin Date balanced cinematic heritage with classic red-carpet sophistication.
 

But Cumberbatch didn’t stop there. For the film’s daytime photocall, he switched gears into laidback Côte d’Azur mode and dressed in a relaxed brown Prada look with a Bremont Broadsword Bronze on his wrist.

With its 40mm bronze case and distressed grey strap, it carried a worn-in charm that felt effortlessly cool. Water-resistant to 100 meters and rugged in appearance, it made the most of the sling setup, proving that even with one arm out of commission, Cumberbatch’s wrist game remains firmly in action.
 

Jeremy Strong, known for his role as Kendall Roy in “Succession,” made a bold style statement at the 2025 Cannes Jury photocall. Embracing his signature unconventional flair, he wore a pink corduroy co-ord with a matching bucket hat and the luxurious Richard Mille RM 16-02 Automatic Extraflat Terracotta Quartz TPT, which costs a measly $156,000.

With its rectangular titanium case and skeletonized Richard Mille CRMA9 movement, this sleek, minimalist watch offered a striking contrast to Strong’s vibrant look. Fusing high fashion with technical precision, his ensemble was a standout example of how playful style and cutting-edge craftsmanship can coexist effortlessly.
 

Later in the week, Jury Member Jeremy Strong attends the "Eddington" red carpet wearing the striking Richard Mille RM 67-01 Extra Flat in titanium.

Known for his introspective performances and sharp sense of style, Strong’s selection of the ultra-thin Richard Mille piece spoke volumes about his appreciation for understated luxury and technical mastery. The watch’s minimalist profile and cutting-edge engineering perfectly complemented the actor’s elegant appearance, capturing the attention of horology enthusiasts and fashion critics alike.

Made from grade 5 titanium, it's ultra-light yet durable, offering both comfort and strength. Its slim design houses a precise automatic movement, blending performance with style. This sleek timepiece reflects Richard Mille’s signature mix of innovation and elegance—an ideal choice for a refined presence like Jeremy Strong at Cannes.
 

Anson Boon made his first appearance at the Cannes Film Festival this year, stepping onto the scene with a timeless sense of style. He chose a classic double-breasted tuxedo from Celine, a look that balanced elegance and tradition. Staying true to this refined aesthetic, he accessorized with a TAG Heuer Carrera Day-Date—a sophisticated choice that reinforced his understated approach to red carpet fashion.

The watch, featuring a blue dial, subtly echoed the hues of Cannes' Mediterranean setting. It wasn’t overly bold or attention-seeking, but rather exuded a quiet confidence. With its clean lines and versatile design, the TAG Heuer Carrera proved to be the perfect complement to his ensemble—stylish, effortless, and suitable for any occasion.
