A bed of stars! While last year, the Cesar ceremony took place in a leaden atmosphere and with very few people, this new edition with Antoine de Caunes at the helm has found some sparkle. Despite the strong presence of VIPs, a moving tribute to Gaspard Ulliel and an honorary prize to the popular Cate Blanchett, the audiences are very low with only 1.3 million viewers.
On the red carpet of the evening organized at the Olympia, it was necessary to count on the presence of a slew of stars like Ana Girardot, divine in a black dress split on one leg and at the waist while freeing a bare shoulder from the Valentino Rendez-vous collection. A look completed by Repossi jewelry. On the style side, other actresses caused a sensation like Leïla Bekhti, also in black, but in an Alaïa dress with long gloved sleeves, or Adèle Exarchopoulos in an elegant strapless black dress signed Paco Rabanne. For her part, Elsa Zylberstein trusted Chanel to dress her and was adorned with Messika jewelry (Desert Bloom necklace and Wild Moon ring from the Born To Be Wild Moon Haute Joaillerie collection, all associated with the Calypso ear).
While black was the majority color – as we have seen on Isabelle Huppert, President Danièle Thompson, Salomé Dewaels very pregnant or Valérie Lemercier – some actresses had opted for a little more color. Cécile de France and her young colleague Emma Mackey had both opted for a white trouser suit, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi for a pink satin dress and Aissatou Diallo Sagna, César for the best female hope, for a dress with graphic patterns in several colors. Among the gentlemen, it should be noted that many had opted for the tuxedo, in particular from Saint Laurent such as Niels Schneider or Sami Outalbali.
