So Demi Moore wore Balenciaga?? Like that’s the real story lol.
I thought Cannes ended already or is it like every day is a new red carpet? Also why does everyone say “turned heads” like they mean literally.
Wait the article says a model announced she’s pregnant on the red carpet, but I didn’t see who it was so now I’m just guessing it was Zoe Saldana?? Makes no sense I know but everyone was there.
Vin Diesel at Cannes with John Travolta and those berets?? I feel like this festival has no theme anymore, it’s just famous people doing fashion commercials. Also “keeping the festival’s momentum right up to the final night” is such corporate wording. Cannes should just be about movies, not dress brands and jewelry names.
