Also in attendance for today’s festivities was Swanepoel’s fellow model Izabel Goulart.

Stepping out on the famous Croisette this afternoon, the Brazillian star took on French trends in a perfectly tailored white suit and a chic tied-up scarf top. On her feet, Goulart opted for an easygoing twist on this summer’s biggest shoe: thong-toe sandals. The silver pair featured a looped side paneling and a metallic sheen; Aquazzura offers a similar pair for $450.
