3, 2, 1. . . Action! This week, the 2026 Cannes Film Festival has officially kicked off in France. And one of the best parts of the annual festival is its glorious red carpet, where some of the biggest names of world cinema are expected to make their mark.

The Grand Théâtre Lumière hosted the festival’s opening ceremony, led by the French-Malian actress Eye Haïdara. There, the entire jury presented itself to the eyes of the world: Serving on the committee this year is Park Chan-wook, the first Korean jury president in history, who was joined by Demi Moore, Ruth Negga, Laura Wandel, Chloé Zhao, Diego Céspedes, Isaach De Bankolé, Paul Laverty, and Stellan Skarsgård. (At the end of the opening ceremony, meanwhile, was a performance by Theodora and Oklou, and a screening of the opening film: The Electric Venus by Pierre Salvadori.)

On the first day of the Cannes red carpet, meanwhile, the hand-picked A-list guests caught everyone's eye. Highlights included Emily in Paris star Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu in an airy purple Saint Laurent gown by Anthony Vaccarello gown, Demi Moore in a fitted sparkly Jacquemus frock, and many more. But this is only the start! Stay tuned for two more weeks' worth of stellar Cannes fashions.
