For this opening ceremony of the 77th Cannes Film Festival, some of the biggest names in cinema also made the trip.

A most captivating appearance, a myriad of celebrities attended the opening ceremony of the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival. For this occasion, they did not hesitate to dress up in all their style. If Emmanuelle Béart offered yet another style lesson in a long black coat by Saint Laurent, Virginie Ledoyen charmed the Croisette in a tight dress with a neckline adorned with rhinestones. And another personality also turned all heads. A big regular at this cinematographic event, Iris Mittenaere made the photographers’ lenses crackle. The one who recently announced her separation from Diego El Glaoui competed in glamor in a metallic sheath dress by Ali Karoui.

And like a true femme fatale, Iris Mittenaere donned silver sandals from Jimmy Choo. To perfect her gala look, Miss France 2016 did not skip the accessories. She wore dangling earrings adorned with a river of diamonds from the house of Burma. In terms of beauty, she focused on a tanned complexion, a delicate pink eye shadow perfectly matched with her wild rose lipstick. On the hairstyle side, Iris Mittenaere abandoned her lengths for a very irresistible short bobAnd among others that of Omar Sy, who stood out not for his look, but for having grabbed his phone.

The words lived up to Meryl Streep’s phenomenal talent. Juliette Binoche took the floor during the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival to present an honorary Palme d’Or to the immense Oscar-winning American actress. “If the contributions of women in history are still too invisible, declared the French actress, yours are not. By helping us to laugh, to cry, to imagine and to be inspired, you have forged a indelible place in the history of cinema. You are an international treasure.
The one offered to us, Tuesday May 14, the opening ceremony of the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival. And over which queens have reigned.
Actresses, directors, singers gathered on stage to kick off the festivities. Wearing the colors of cinema loudly and brilliantly, without silencing what, behind the scenes, sometimes comes dirty to splash them, they echoed the words of women.
After the actresses Virginie Efira in 2022 and Chiara Mastroianni in 2023, it is the turn of Camille Cottin to step into the shoes of the mistress of ceremonies of the 77th Cannes Film Festival. Luminous, subtle and inspired, the French actress revealed an introductory speech that was funny, engaged and profound. Accompanied by an orchestra, the actress described the Cannes Film Festival as a « Vortex », a strange parallel world during which hair budgets cost more than a short film. But also where “time, space and health (are) somewhat vague notions.”
She also addressed the crucial subject of sexual violence, referring to Harvey Weinstein. “Nocturnal professional meetings in the hotel rooms of all-powerful gentlemen are no longer part of the customs of the Cannes vortex following the adoption of the #MeToo law, and we welcome that.” Camille Cottin also recalled the power of cinema, which has the gift of bringing people together while the world is fractured from side to side. Like the characters she played, the French star managed to be as acerbic as she was full of humanity; unanimously received by a demanding public.
The 77th edition has a very well defined role in terms of unity and solidarity of actresses in art and cinematographic creation for the ladies present at the festival but also in the festival competition.
Each day remains to be followed carefully by all film buffs, but also by the stars who will walk the red carpet as well as the films in competition, which will be awarded prizes during the 77th edition.
