The Most Memorable Moments In Cannes Film Festival History

The 70th annual event is almost upon us.

Kate Moss & Johnny Depp, 1997

The infamous couple attended The Brave premiere arm-in-arm. 

Bella Hadid, 2016

Bella owned the red carpet at The Unknown Girl premiere, and caught the attention of every single photographer in her crimson Alexandre Vauthier Couture gown. One wrong move and the supermodel would have had a serious wardrobe malfunction. Now that’s how you make an entrance at Cannes.

Brigitte Bardot & Pablo Picasso, 1956

The famous artist checks French actress Brigitte Bardot’s face with a light meter at his studio in Vallauris, on the Cote d’Azur, during the Cannes Film Festival.

Ryan Gosling & Sandra Bullock, 2002

Did you forget about this couple? Because we sure did. Ryan and Sandra walked the red carpet hand in hand for the premiere of their film, Murder By Numbers.

Blake Lively, 2016

Blake revealed her second pregnancy on the red carpet at the BFG premiere in a figure-hugging Atelier Versace gown.

Natalie Portman, 2005

The actress debuted a newly shorn head, for her role in V for Vendetta, on the Cannes red carpet.

Grace Kelly & Jean Pierre Aumont, 1955

Only Grace could make clutching a drink and surveying a food platter appear glamorous.

Brooke Shields, 1978

The young star posed in Cannes before she took on the world of fashion as an iconic supermodel.

Emma Stone, 2015

Emma defended her dress against the wind at a photo call for Irrational Man. Unfortunately, she could not save her hair.

Prince Charles & Princess Diana, 1987

The royal couple made their Cannes debut to the delight of crowds. Di’s Catherine Walker dress later sold at auction for £81k in 2011.

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie, 2008

The couple took to the Kung Fu Panda red carpet, while Angelina carried their twins Vivienne and Knox.

Brad Pitt & Jennifer Aniston, 2004

One year before filing for divorce, and four years before he would walk with Angelina, Brad took his wife Jen to the premiere of Troy.

David Bowie & Jordan (Pamela Rocke), 1978

Bowie pulled a shocked face for the camera as he attended the Just A Gigolo premiere with actress Jordan.

Madonna, 1991

The singer rocked a pointy bra top for the premiere of In Bed With Madonna.

Mitzi Gaynor & Sophia Loren, 1958

The famous actresses laughed together in Cannes.

Cara Delevingne, 2012

Cara served up one of the most memorable blue steel’s in the history of Cannes at the premiere of The Great Gatsby.

Julia Roberts, 2016

The pretty woman kicked off her heels to walk the carpet at the premiere of Money Monster, while a concerned Jodie Foster trailed closely behind.

Bjork, 2000

The Queen of quirk was at it again at the premiere of Dancer In The Dark.

Sacha Baron Cohen, 2006

One of the most memorable, and perhaps tasteless, moments in Cannes history was when ‘Borat’ made an appearance on the beach in that iconic green mankini. So disturbing, yet so entertaining. 

Elizabeth Taylor & Mike Todd, 1957

The famous actress receives a sweet kiss from her husband on the red carpet.

Elizabeth Taylor, 1987

Thirty years later, Elizabeth graced the red carpet in a cleavage bearing red gown that certainly got the world’s attention.

Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds, 2014

The famous duo redefined ‘couple goals’ as they took on the carpet at the premiere of The Captive.

Kirk Douglas & Brigitte Bardot, 1953

Just a famous actor braiding another star’s hair on the beach. Nothing to see here.

Sharon Stone, 1995

This was kind of the perfect outfit for the Unzipped screening… though technically the look she’s rocking is more ‘unbuttoned.’

Ryan Gosling & Nicolas Winding Refn, 2011

One question, why wasn’t it us?

L’Oreal Paris Ambassadors, 2015

Natasha Poly, Barbara Palvin, Soo-Joo Park, Eva Longoria, Karlie Kloss, Doutzen Kroes and Lara Stone attend amfAR’s 22nd Cinema Against AIDS Gala.

Princess Diana, 1987

The Princess was a perfect red carpet guest at Cannes, nailing the style.

Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsborg, 1974

The iconic model wowed in her signature cool-girl style. We’re still obsessed with this look over forty years later.

Jack Nicholson & Anjelica Huston, 1974

The iconic, and volatile, couple in happier times.

George & Amal Clooney

Amal’s first Cannes red carpet didn’t exactly go off without a hitch, as she tripped over her billowing Versace gown at the Money Monster premiere. Still looked flawless, though.
