BBG News

Prominent figures graced the eventful premiere of Highest 2 Lowest at Cannes Film Festival, which took place in the southern region of France on Monday evening.

Dakota Johnson graced the renowned red carpet with a stunning, strapless pink tassel gown that personified grace and sophistication as she headed the glamorous arrivals.

35-year-old actress wore an impressive multi-layered dress, adorned it with bold earrings, and styled her shiny, straight brown hair in a sleek manner as her ensemble.

next to her stood her Splitsville co-star, Adria Arjona, who looked stunning in a shimmering light green satin dress and silver necklace.

Later on, Adria was seen with her companion Jason Momoa, both sporting matching smiles in a well-tailored white suit. They continued to exude their undying affection for each other.

2021’s Cannes Film Festival is happening amidst President Trump’s promise to impose taxes on foreign films.

In the city of Cannes, a global hub for filmmakers, industry professionals, and media, it’s often referred to as the ‘Olympics of cinema’. Just like the Olympics, it awards its own prestigious prize – the Palme d’Or – at its conclusion.

Filmmakers hail from virtually every part of the world, presenting their movies, while negotiators tirelessly work throughout the night to market completed films and production packages to diverse regions.

According to Brazilian director Kleber Mendonça Filho, he is releasing a film in an environment reminiscent of the Colosseum, as he brings ‘The Secret Agent,’ a thriller taking place during Brazil’s dictatorship, back to Cannes.

Preparation is crucial, as the event will be quite immersive, similar to the anticipation you feel while climbing the stairs towards a thrilling roller coaster at the Palais.

Trump stirred up surprise among Hollywood and global film circles when he declared on May 4th that films produced outside of the U.S. would be subjected to a 100% import tax.

The White House has clarified that no definitive choices have been made yet. They’re considering various strategies, such as offering federal incentives to encourage U.S. productions instead of imposing tariffs. Yet, this announcement serves as a reminder of how global conflicts can potentially disrupt even the most enduring cultural establishments.

The Cannes Film Festival was initially established during World War II, as a response to the growth of fascism in Italy, which caused the overthrow of the Venice Film Festival that was under government control at the time.

Since then, Cannes’ unwavering dedication to cinema has turned it into a shining symbol for filmmakers worldwide. Numerous directors have flocked there in pursuit of establishing their reputation.

2021 is not exceptional in this regard, but a few debutant directors at Cannes Film Festival have garnered recognition prior to their premiere.

Actresses Kristen Stewart, Scarlett Johansson, and Harris Dickinson have each premiered their first films as directors in the sidebar section “Un Certain Regard” at the Cannes Film Festival.

A good number of film industry veterans have made their comeback at the Cannes Film Festival this year. This group includes Tom Cruise from Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Robert De Niro – who was honored with a Palme d´Or 49 years after his debut in Cannes with Taxi Driver – and Quentin Tarantino, who celebrated the work of low-budget Western director George Sherman.

Meanwhile Scarlett’s directorial debut Eleanor The Great, will be unveiled on May 20.

Instead, due to his ongoing legal issues with ex-co-star Blake Lively, it’s unlikely that Justin Baldoni will be present.

Over the last few years, the glamorous event on the Croisette has perhaps drawn more focus towards the fashion choices of its famous attendees rather than the lineup of movies being shown.

However, fresh guidelines aimed at promoting decency have been enforced during this year’s festival concerning public nudity.

As reported by event organizers, this strict decision aims to discourage celebrities from wearing revealing and suggestive attire, often referred to as “naked dresses,” on the red carpet. These outfits typically show much more skin than they cover.

According to a statement from the Cannes Film Festival, it’s important to note that showing bare skin is not allowed on the red carpet or anywhere else within the festival, for reasons of decency.

At the festival, those who represent the welcome team must enforce a rule that only individuals adhering to these guidelines will be allowed on the red carpet.

In simpler terms, the recently published festival attendee guidelines contain unexpected additions to their policies, along with suggestions for appropriate public conduct.

Visitors should gather at the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière for several prestigious film showcases during a busy two-week period in Cannes.

It’s clear that the famous location has shifted towards a stricter dress code, leaning more towards formal attire like suits, tuxedos, and long evening gowns instead of bold outfits designed to draw attention.

In addition to simple little black dresses, cocktail attires, pantsuits, formal blouses, and sophisticated sandals (either flat or with a heel), are all acceptable choices for the dress code.

It’s uncertain whether French TV broadcasters, cautious about showing nudity, might have influenced the decision, but enforcing a stricter policy will be a novel move for the first time.

Significant high-profile gatherings such as the Cannes Film Festival, among others, are broadcast in France through France Télévisions.

Lately, the yearly event has been witnessing a higher number of models and social media influencers over actors and movie creators. This shift has led to a rise in bold, daring fashion choices on the red carpet.

In the year 2021, renowned American model Bella Hadid showcased her decolletage in a deep-neckline black dress at an event for the film “Tre Piani” (Three Floors).

Three years on, I repeated an unexpected move at the 2024 gala, leaving attendees spellbound when I graced the red carpet for the premiere of “The Apprentice” biopic of Donald Trump, going braless under a see-through brown evening gown.
