The Cannes gown, May 1987 Arriving at the Cannes Film Festival on 15 May 1987 in a strapless pale blue chiffon gown by Catherine Walker, with a matching chiffon scarf trailing at the neck. The look was a nod to Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief, filmed on the same Riviera coast, and it is one of the clearest early examples of Walker, her most trusted designer, building a look around a story.
