Cannes Gowns, Round 5: Swinton and Stone, Noomi and Naomie

Previous Cannes 2022 Polls: 1, 2, 3, and 4

And we're back after a tiny fashion lull (typical after the first few days of the festival). Tilda Swinton, always a red carpet stunner, returned to Cannes for 3000 Years of Longing, Noomi Rapace went to the Chopard Gala, Sharon Stone showed up for celebrity glamour purposes (what other purposes are needed?) and Naomie Harris attended the Women in Film event.
