Luxurious Couture, Ready-to-Wear & Wedding Dresses | Tony Ward Couture

Model and entrepreneur Afiya Bennett made a striking entrance on the red carpet of the 78th Cannes Film Festival wearing Tony Ward. Her gown, from the Ready-to-Wear Fall Winter 2024/25 collection Safari Sunset, blended sleek modernity with sculptural edge.

The minimalistic white gown turned heads with its daring side cutouts, sharply accentuating the waist and creating a fluid hourglass effect. Crafted in structured crepe, the dress was elevated by bold silver embroidered knots outlining the cutouts—like jewelry stitched into the silhouette. Effortless but never understated, the look walked the line between architectural and sensual.

With the Mediterranean backdrop of Cannes and the buzz of flashbulbs on the Croisette, Afiya’s Tony Ward moment is a celebration of bold simplicity.
