This year, the illustrious Cannes Film Festival is set to be graced by Bollywood luminaries Aditi Rao Hydari and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Representing a global beauty brand, these two actresses will join a multitude of stars adorning the red carpet at the extravagant 77th edition of the event along the French Riviera. Aditi made her Cannes debut back in 2022, while Ash has been a frequent presence on the renowned festival’s red carpet.

“I fervently believe that women should boldly embrace their individuality,” remarked Aditi, who recently starred in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi, expressing her anticipation for the upcoming festival. “It’s truly an honor to be associated with a brand that consistently champions women’s empowerment,” she added.

The Cannes Film Festival promises to gather the crème de la crème of the film industry in the picturesque southern France to celebrate the art of cinema. Expectations are high for the attendance of Hollywood heavyweights such as Demi Moore, Meryl Streep, and George Lucas on the illustrious red carpet. Meryl Streep, honored with a special Palme d’Or, will grace the festival’s opening ceremony on May 14, marking her return to the prestigious French event after an illustrious fifty-year career in Hollywood.

This year’s honorary recipients of the Palme d’Or include George Lucas, renowned for his creations like Star Wars and Indiana Jones, and the esteemed Japanese animation studio, Studio Ghibli. Additionally, accolades such as the Golden Palm, Grand Prix, Jury Prize, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Short Film will be awarded. The festival’s itinerary is brimming with premieres, star-studded press conferences, and extravagant soirées. Festivities kick off on May 14 with the screening of director Quentin Dupieux’s French-language comedy, The Second Act, featuring Lea Seydoux and Vincent London, and continue until May 25.
