On May 17, local time, Cannes in southern France became the focus of world attention. Because the 75th Cannes International Film Festival officially opens!
This small town located near the port city of Nice in South France has beautiful scenery along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The small town is nestled under the green hills, and the Riviera Bay locks up several small towns on the seaside. Cannes occupies a unique geographical location, with a 5-kilometer-long beach and romantic flowers in all seasons.
Walking around the city of Cannes, you will be immersed in the contrasting scenery of white buildings, blue sea, and rows of tall palm trees. Every detail of the entire town together constitutes a beautiful and unique natural scenery of southern France.
And the Cannes International Film Festival , one of the most influential and top international film festivals in the world, is held here in mid-May every year, which adds a lot of glory to this coastal town. On May 17 this year, the 75th Cannes International Film Festival was held as scheduled.
This year's Cannes poster pays tribute to " The Truman Show "
There are still no Chinese films in the main competition section of this year's Cannes Film Festival , but fortunately there are still Chinese faces. Tang Wei was shortlisted for the main competition unit with "'s determination to break up ".
This work is directed by the famous director Park Chan-wook . With his shooting techniques and unique aesthetics, I don’t know what kind of results this film will achieve at Cannes this year.
As the "first shot" of at Europe's three top film festivals, everyone's expectations for Cannes will be high. Especially when we take stock of the most beautiful red carpet looks at the end of each year, the Cannes red carpet is definitely on the list -
Isabelle Huppert
from the red carpet "constant generals" such as Tilda Swinton and Cate Blanchett, or new students such as Little K and Elle Fanning The leading figures of the era have all left classic looks on the Cannes red carpet.
The comfortable and pleasant climate and the lazy and comfortable atmosphere have given stars the "capital" to perform exceptionally well in Cannes. Everyone felt like they were on vacation when they came to Cannes, so they walked freely on the red carpet and were naturally in perfect condition.
In addition to the movie stars who come with their works, the army of supermodels whose legs are visible at first glance are also "frequent guests" on the Cannes red carpet (many of them go to participate in jewelry and cosmetics sponsor events of the film festival).
Bella Hadid
Natasha Poly/Candice Swanepoel
"The number one Chinese model" Liu Wen has also left classic looks on the Cannes red carpet. Bottega Veneta, Givenchy, Giambattista Valli and other brands have all witnessed Liu Wen displaying her grand oriental beauty here. The editor of
believes that the Cannes Film Festival has the highest recognition among Chinese people. This is mainly due to the high exposure of Chinese female stars here. Although they did not appear on the red carpet this year, the beautiful images they left behind are still worth recalling for many years.
As early as the late 1980s, Chinese celebrities have been going to Cannes one after another.
Gong Li
In fact, Gong Li , who also went to Cannes in the 1980s, can regard Cannes as her "back garden".
It has been nearly 30 years since Gong Li debuted in Cannes with "Farewell My Concubine" in 1993. Chinese actresses have competed in Cannes on a "large scale". It can be said that the "China's Prosperity" in Cannes was created by Gong Huang. Who hasn’t been smitten by this blockbuster of a white shirt and black skirt on the seaside?
Walking on the red carpet here, Gong Li felt as comfortable as returning to her own living room. Wearing a dress with oriental characteristics, as long as you wave your hand, the flashing lights behind you will not stop. When it comes to the domestic entertainment, film and television industry, there are really not many people who have such treatment.
Zhang Ziyi
Zhang Ziyi also enjoys a high status in Cannes. Recently, it was revealed that she will become the first Asian filmmaker to hold a master class in Cannes, which is enough to show the recognition of her by the international film community.
The Cannes red carpet can be regarded as a record of Zhang Ziyi's personal growth and changes in fashion style. The small town in Southern France has witnessed her transformation from a fledgling to a calm and composed person, from a humble girl to a modern pioneer. It has also recorded the great progress of Chinese filmmakers in the international arena.
Maggie Cheung
Maggie Cheung has not appeared in Cannes many times, but it is full of weight. As early as 2004, she won the Best Actress Award at the 57th Cannes Film Festival for her French film "clean". She was the first Asian actor to win the Best Actress Award at Cannes.
Unlike most female stars who show off their "special skills" on the red carpet, Maggie Cheung, who insists on her own style, is quite comfortable in Cannes. She can even participate in the jury wearing only an old man's vest and jeans. Photocall:
Otherwise, she is wearing the best. A simple black and white dress appeared on the stage. Even the floor-length dress has not been worn a few times, and the makeup and hair are only simple enough to be on the red carpet, which shows Maggie's confidence.
weeks Xun
Zhou Xun went to Cannes many years ago. Social media at that time was not as developed as it is now, so although there are not many marks left, most of them still maintain Zhou Xun's consistently high standards.
In 2006, Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi went to Cannes together to promote " Night Banquet ". Such a weighty photo has become a collection. The vacation atmosphere of Cannes and Zhou Xun's calmness and spontaneity are naturally a perfect fit.
Although there are not many red carpet appearances, Zhou Xun took a magical picture in Cannes back then - in 2006, she was wearing a simple little black dress and strolling on the streets of Cannes, echoing Monroe behind her, which was very tasteful.
Li Bingbing
As one of the leading figures in the domestic film industry, Li Bingbing visits Cannes quite frequently, and as always adheres to her big-flower route, which does not need to be too shocking - elegance, elegance and temperament are enough.
Elie Saab, Georges Chakra, Gucci and other brands are Li Bingbing's choice for the Cannes red carpet. These brands, which can be called "red carpet model students", coupled with Li Bingbing's demeanor, will certainly not disappoint on the red carpet.
Shu Qi
Shu Qi can be regarded as a representative figure in the Chinese film industry who "camped" for Cannes very early. The editor has always felt that her breezy temperament goes well with the lazy town of Southern France, so Shu Qi feels very calm and composed every time she goes to Cannes.
When Shu Qi was young, she didn’t feel nervous at all in a foreign country. Simply wearing a small nude dress was already charming enough. Shu Qi, who has always been a "people-dresser", never makes a big show of herself on the red carpet. She just picks a simple slim-fitting long dress, with a tube top, sloping shoulders, and a deep V. Everything is charming.
Others
There are so many Chinese stars who have been to Cannes that we will not list them one by one due to space limitations, but some of the red carpet looks are quite worth recalling. For example, Li Yuchun has appeared in black and white dresses customized by Jean Paul Gaultier several times. The creative techniques are quite playful and unique:
Later customized styles by Gucci and Balmain also have Li Yuchun's personal characteristics, which are still unforgettable to this day.
Who hasn’t been fascinated by Zhang Yuqi’s green dress from Ulyana Sergeenko?
Tang Wei, Cecilia Cheung , Gao Yuanyuan , Ni Ni , Jing Tian , Liu Yifei and others also appeared on the red carpet in Cannes successively, making people nostalgic for that era when a hundred flowers bloomed.
This year's Cannes is coming as scheduled. "The global film festival is returning to its original appearance", which is very exciting!
