Hollywood royalty was back at the Cannes Film Festival for its annual celebration of cinema along the French Riviera. The 77th annual Cannes Film Festival began May 14 and ran through May 25. Premieres brought an elegant parade of stars nightly and moments that become indelible Cannes images, whether it's Francis Ford Coppola's return to the Palais des Festivals or French actor Judith Godrèche and other actors posing with their hands over their mouths to draw attention to France's burgeoning #MeToo movement. There's time for levity, too, like Anya Taylor-Joy saluting her Furiosa director, George Miller, or the arrival of Messi, the canine Anatomy of a Fall star who performed tricks for photographers and served as a bridge to last year's standout festival.

Daytime photocalls became playgrounds for stars and photographers alike, like when Nic Cage tossed his hat while promoting The Surfer. Hats had been a go-to accessory this year, worn by Coppola and Giancarlo Esposito at the Megalopolis premiere; Meryl Streep, an honorary Palme d'Or recipient, opted for one for her photocall.

Filmmakers praised Cannes for the way it celebrates films and the global platform it provides. So it's only fitting that Coppola returned, 45 years after his Apocalypse Now swept through the festival, and so did Paul Schrader, who wrote the 1976 Palme d'or Or winner Taxi Driver.

Miller, too, has been a vocal fan of the Cannes festival since serving as a juror and has used it to launch several films. “I got addicted to it simply because it’s like film camp,” he says. “It’s kind of optimal cinema, really."

From photo-calls to world premieres, the Cannes Film Festival 2024 red carpet offered all sorts of style as stars descend on the French Riviera for the international film festival. As the city of Cannes is known for its sandy beaches, sumptuous hotels, crystal clear water, and an affinity for luxury, during theÊCannes Film Festival 2024, resortwear and cruise collections fit right in alongside couture on and off the red carpet.
