Fresh off the heels of the Met Gala<\/a>, we\u2019re straight into another A-list event: the Cannes Film Festival<\/a>. Now in its 79th edition, the historic festival has once again transformed the French Riviera \u2014 where The White Lotus Season 4<\/a> is currently filming, FYI \u2014 into a global stage where film, fashion, celebrity and culture collide.<\/p>\n

This is a festival where anything can happen. Standing ovations can turn directors into household names. Premieres can launch Oscar campaigns. And outfit choices can go down in history (who can forget Bella Hadid\u2019s red Alexandre Vauthier gown, Julia Roberts going barefoot in Armani Priv\u00e9 and Princess Diana<\/a> in a powder blue Catherine Walker). That\u2019s why it pays to pay attention to who\u2019s there, what\u2019s screening and what everyone\u2019s wearing.<\/p>\n

This year promises to be as headline-worthy as ever, with a star-studded jury and both Barbra Streisand and Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson in town to receive honorary Palme d’Or awards for lifetime achievements. The latter was presented with his award on Tuesday by Elijah Wood<\/a>, who famously played Frodo Baggins in the epic trilogy.<\/p>\n

Back to the fashion. The event\u2019s opening ceremony served up its usual splendor, with a number of celebrities dressing diplomatically in French labels. While there have been concerns that this year\u2019s edition of the festival would miss its normal injection of glamour<\/a> due to major Hollywood studios largely skipping the event, a handful of iconic A-listers ensured the Croisette still sparkled.<\/p>\n

Jury members Demi Moore and Ruth Negga impressed in their high-fashion looks \u2014 and have continued to do so as the event has progressed \u2014 accompanied by the likes of Jane Fonda, Gillian Anderson (who is experiencing one very successful Cannes debut<\/a>), Heidi Klum, Kelly Rutherford, Joan Collins and The Fast and the Furious cast, as well as the late Paul Walker\u2019s daughter, Meadow Walker, who appeared in Fast X, the 2023 film from franchise.<\/p>\n
