John Legend couldn’t help but express his admiration for his wife, Chrissy Teigen, as she stunned in a chic crochet dress at the 2024 Cannes Lions Festival. The cookbook author, 38, took a brief respite from her busy mom duties to attend the prestigious event in the picturesque French Riviera.
Teigen shared a series of glamorous photos on Instagram, showcasing her stylish ensemble. She donned a white crocheted halter dress paired with oval-shaped Gucci sunglasses, exuding effortless summer elegance. “Will go back to regularly scheduled leggings soon,” she humorously captioned her post, hinting at her usual, more casual social media content.
In the comments, her husband, John Legend, couldn’t resist complimenting her high-fashion look. “Fine AF,” the EGOT-winning artist, 45, wrote, clearly impressed by his wife’s stunning appearance.
Teigen’s latest post from Cannes is just one of several she has shared from her visit to the French Riviera. Earlier in the week, she marked her arrival at the five-day festival with a photo of herself and Legend holding hands. “Cannes lions — one of my favorite events of the year that I rarely get to go to but mama we made it!!” she wrote, expressing her excitement.
Before heading to Cannes, the couple enjoyed a family trip to Paris. Teigen shared sweet snaps of their two eldest children, Luna Simone, 8, and Miles Theodore, 6, posing for selfies and candid shots on the streets of the City of Light. The family moments included photos of their “sleepy bunch” taking naps in public spaces, capturing the essence of their European adventure.
In one particularly endearing photo, Teigen appeared tired, pouting in a pair of sunglasses while Luna beamed beside her at a restaurant. The candid moments highlighted the couple’s ability to balance their glamorous public appearances with the joys and challenges of family life.
In addition to Luna and Miles, Teigen and Legend are parents to daughter Esti Maxine, 17 months, and son Wren Alexander Stephens, 11 months. The family recently celebrated Father’s Day, with Teigen posting photos of Legend at the births of all four children. “Happy fourther’s day, Johnny! I’d put more but I’m really proud of that as a caption and also you’re right next to me,” she wrote, showcasing her playful sense of humor.
The couple’s glamorous appearances are not limited to Cannes. They recently attended the City Harvest Gala in New York, where Teigen turned heads in a daring sheer animal-print gown. The floor-length dress, adorned with bow details on each shoulder, was both sexy and sweet. Legend complemented her look with an all-black ensemble featuring sequin appliqués.
Teigen’s fashion choices continue to impress, as she recently stepped out for Donatella Versace’s new hotel opening in Macau wearing a sleek black minidress. She completed the look with clear Versace heels and a white Versace bag, proving her status as a fashion icon.
Legend, who is one of the cover stars for PEOPLE’s 50th anniversary special edition, spoke fondly of his wife. “She’s my best friend, she’s my partner, my lover,” he said. The couple’s love story began in 2009 when Teigen starred in Legend’s music video for “Stereo.” Legend recalled their first meeting, where Teigen’s infectious laugh and vibrant personality immediately captivated him.
Teigen’s recent Instagram stories also revealed a harrowing experience on a flight, where she described an “erroneous takeoff” that left her momentarily fearing for her life. The incident made her “very religious all of a sudden,” as she expressed gratitude for the pilots and the plane’s safety measures.
Despite the scare, Teigen’s sense of humor remained intact. She tagged Legend in a cheeky caption, referencing the horror film “Final Destination,” and joked about her last meal potentially being “Meemaw’s beer cheese.”
Teigen and Legend’s enduring love and mutual admiration continue to shine through, whether they’re attending glamorous events or sharing candid family moments. Their ability to balance their high-profile careers with their roles as devoted parents is a testament to their strong partnership.
