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.

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

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie, 2008

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

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.

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.’

One question, why wasn’t it us?

L’Oreal Paris Ambassadors, 2015

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.
