2024 in beautiful photos: Stars who rocked the Cannes Film Festival's red carpet

Cannes film festival: not only were there big names, but everything about the film festival is elegant and gives us hints on what (and who) will be big in the near future. Did those predictions come true?

Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and many other big stars graced the French city in May 2024.

The star-studded release of 'Mad Max: Furiosa' featured big stars like Chris Hemsworth, Anya Taylor-Joy and Elsa Pataky. The evening was one of the highlights of the Festival.

Red carpet highs also occurred for the premiere of 'The Apprentice', a cruel satire about the beginnings of Donald Trump. Bella Hadid attended the presentation.

Another exceptional guest on the Cannes red carpet was Cate Blanchett. Her Haider Ackermann spring 2023 dress for Jean Paul Gaultier garnered a lot of attention.

When she turned around, the pink made room for black and one could also see a dark green interior lining. When she lifted the train and revealed the color green, the effect of red carpet and black-white-green dress caused people online to assume she was making a pro-Palestine statement.

As the New York Times reported, "the dress had been significantly altered since it appeared on the runway," but at the same time, Blanchett did not comment on the question of whether these changes meant anything.

Another group of world-class celebrities gathered below the palm trees of Cannes. Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldana, Karla Sofía Gascón and Adriana Paz presented their new film 'Emilia Perez.'

The rising star actor made an appearance to promote 'Kinds of Kindness', the Yorgos Lanthimos movie in which he performs alongside Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, and Emma Stone.

In the picture, the director and one of the actresses of 'The Apprentice' - which, according to The Hollywood Reporter, received an eight-minute standing ovation from the audience of specialized journalists at its premiere in Cannes. It caused a stir when it released, too.

Demi Moore made a spectacular appearance in an Armani design, Chopard jewellery and Louboutin shoes. It doesn't get more perfect than this.

Kevin Costner will be 70 in January 2025 but a dinner jacket and bow tie still suits him down to the ground. The spirit of ‘The Bodyguard’ is still very much alive and well.

The actress certainly knows how to turn heads. Her red carpet appearances create expectations that Hunter Schafer always meets. In this case, with Prada: a white jumpsuit with an apron and headscarf that will surely be the most memorable look of Cannes 2024.

Two-piece suits are a trend - it's a fact. The Erdem ensemble with pleated skirt and black floral print worn by Uma Thurman is a delight.

The actress and singer, who always knows how to rock a red carpet, wore a beautiful gold sequinned design by Celine.

Step one: a simple white shirt dress. Step two: finish it off with a Louis Vuitton belt. Step three: on your way to success.

True to form, the legendary filmmaker's son wore a total black look, this time with a bow tie, which fits him like a glove.

She's always had that Old Hollywood touch that she can pull off, but this black and white Saint Laurent design was legendary. The Bvlgari jewellery also helped.

Fabulous by night, fabulous by day. For the day, the actress went for a casual look by Louis Vuitton, consisting of black trousers and a gold sequinned T-shirt with a round neck. Simple and efficient.

The bustier is still a must on the red carpet, but combining it with a tulle skirt in a total black look was an absolute success for Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture.

Baby blue and lots of ruffles is definitely trendy but not everyone knows how to wear it like Siena Miller. We love this long bohemian dress with cape silhouette, ruffles and sheer fabric by Chloé, which she wore with confidence.

Her Bottega Veneta is sensational. Looking fabulous (as always) in a red leather bodice, combined with long fringed skirt, paired with a confident look and Oscar-winning actress aura. Complete pack.

With tiara included, this princess dress is by Chanel and worn by Margaret Qualey, whose recognisable style usually includes white, tulle and fringed. For this event, she has put it all together for a wonderful look.

Always simple, always wonderful, and, in this case, in a black Gucci design that is both discreet and regally elegant. Follow Showbizz Daily to stay informed and enjoy more content!
