The 2023 Cannes Movie Pageant kicked off on Tuesday, Could 16, and it is already introduced collectively among the largest and brightest stars on the planet. Forward of the screening of Johnny Depp’s “Jeanne du Barry,” which opened the competition, photographers captured glamorous appears from Elle Fanning, Candice Swanepoel, Naomi Campbell, and extra on the purple carpet. Helen Mirren debuted her new blue hair and Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones made it a household affair. Plus, Oscar winner Brie Larson made a splash as properly — and she or he’s on the competition’s jury, so anticipate many extra appearances from her this 12 months. And on Could 17, Viola Davis, Iris Legislation, Laura Harrier, and Ethan Hawke all hit the purple carpet earlier than screenings of “Monster” and “Unusual Approach of Life.” A day later, Adriana Lima and boyfriend Andre Lemmers had been photographed kissing on the Cannes carpet.

Could 20 introduced the premiere of Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” and a bevy of stars confirmed as much as see the movie. Amongst those that walked the purple carpet had been the film’s stars Leonardo DiCaprio and new dad Robert De Niro, Will Ferrell, and Naomi Campbell.

Different movies which are screening at this 12 months’s competition embrace Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid Metropolis,” “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Future,” and Todd Haynes’s “Could December.” Disney and Pixar’s latest movie, “Elemental,” can even shut out the festivities. Plus, HBO and the Weekend’s very buzzy (and controversial) sequence “The Idol” can even be debuting its first episodes out of competitors earlier than its premiere this June.

All that is to say it is set to be a really buzzy — and really star-studded — competition this 12 months, so come again to see who else heads to the French Riviera this month. See all of the star sightings up to now forward.
