Amal Clooney has been winning the red carpet style race for a while now, and the style icon predictably pulled out all the stops for her big Cannes debut. George Clooney may have been the one with the new film, but it was his wife, wearing a Grecian-inspired Atelier Versace dress, who stole the show.

While she’d go on to have four husbands, Brigitte Bardot’s very first was French screenwriter Roger Vadim. He directed the Nouvelle Vague muse in . . . And God Created Woman in 1956. They pair divorced after five years of marriage in 1957.

Mike Todd was Elizabeth Taylor’s third marriage—the only one out of her seven that didn’t end in divorce—ending just after a year. In 1958, Todd’s private plane "Lucky Liz" (ostensibly named after his wife) crashed near Grants, New Mexico. Taylor called Todd one of the greatest loves of her life, next to Richard Burton and fine jewelry.

You can’t get more quintessential Cannes than Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg. The French artists met on the set of Slogan in 1968 and continued dating and working together for thirteen years. In 1969, they released an eponymous album, which included the worldwide hit “Je t’aime . . . moi non plus.” Their daughter, Charlotte Gainsbourg, was born in 1971; the couple ended up separating in 1980.

No amount of jean jackets or unwashed hair could keep these two fashion darlings together. The pair split after dating for years in the mid-nineties; Moss told Vanity Fair in 2010 that the breakup caused her “years and years of crying. Oh, the tears!”
