The eyes of the whole world have been riveted on the Cannes Film Festival for several hours! This Tuesday, May 16, 2023, the opening ceremony aroused passions. As usual, countless icons of the 7ᵉ art made a divine appearance on the Croisette. During this 76th edition launched at the Grand Théâtre Lumière, Michael Douglas received – not without emotion – an honorary palme d’or as a reward for his immense career.
A very symbolic price for the American actor. As the perfect mistress of ceremonies, Chiara Mastroianni also welcomed on stage her mother, Catherine Deneuve, whose face was honored on the poster for this renowned event. Facing the assembly, the actress quoted a committed text by the Ukrainian poet Lessia Oukrainka to pay tribute to her nation shaken by the war: “I think a lot about Ukraine”confessed, moved, the faithful friend of Gérard Depardieu: “I no longer have either happiness or freedom. Only one hope remained to me: to return one day to my beautiful Ukraine”.

The day after this remarkable passage, other celebrities made the flashes of the photographers crackle. Like Adèle Exarchopoulos who came for the screening of the film Monster by Hirokazu Kore-Eda. As a reminder, the work is the first in competition to be presented. Besides the cast, other stars made the trip. Like Viola Davis, Ludivine Sagnier, Sara Sampiano or even Gemma Chan.
With her look of the most glamorous, the mother of Ishmael attracted all eyes. This time, the actress opted for an elegant pearly white crop top brilliantly combined with a skirt “mermaid cut” as noted by our colleagues from “Madame Figaro”. Flawless for Tina Kunakey’s sidekick. At the Cannes Film Festival, the pretty brunette came to defend the feature film “Animal Kingdom” by Thomas Cailley alongside Romain Duris, Tom Mercier and Paul Kircher. A shock team in short!
