El Gouna Film Festival’s Third Edition was highly anticipated in terms of art and fashion, and it definitely did not disappoint in terms of the latter!

From emerging trends to the standout pieces, we kept an eye on all the outstanding outfits and extravagant looks worn by the ladies and gents, here’s the top trends we noticed on the carpet!

Fun with Feathers

‘Over-the-top, eye-grabbing, larger than life’ is what pops in your head when you see these looks, and that’s the kind of statement these ladies were going for with their dresses.
