Angelina Jolie made a stunning return to the Cannes Film Festival at its 78th edition, marking her first appearance at the event since 2011. She graced the red carpet for the premiere of Ari Aster’s film Eddington, captivating attendees with her timeless elegance and understated glamour.
For the occasion, Jolie wore a custom gown by Brunello Cucinelli, crafted from champagne-hued cashmere and silk, adorned with delicate sequins. The strapless A-line silhouette featured a crocheted overlay with subtle sequin details, exemplifying Jolie’s well-known preference for neutral tones. She accessorized with a yellow and white diamond necklace featuring a pear-shaped pendant and matching drop earrings, while her blonde hair cascaded loosely over her shoulders, completing the sophisticated look.
In addition to attending the premiere, Jolie served as the godmother of the Trophée Chopard Award at this year’s festival. She presented the accolade to rising actors Marie Colomb and Finn Bennett during a ceremony hosted by Cannes Film Festival executives and Chopard's artistic director. Jolie expressed her honor in recognizing young artists and their exceptional work, emphasizing the importance of international cinema in connecting people across cultures.
