To balance out the floor-sweeping pants of her jumpsuit, Swanepoel opted for lifted platform sandals when it came to footwear; the stiletto-heeled designed peeped out from underneath, unveiling a metallic gold finish.

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.
