BBG News

On Monday, during the 78th Cannes Film Festival, Helena Christensen was seen taking a refreshing swim in the ocean at the luxurious Eden Roc hotel.

The renowned model, aged 56, displayed her remarkable physique for modeling, donning a vibrant fuchsia swimsuit, as she enjoyed the sun on the famous hotel’s terrace.

A Danish woman, naturally beautiful, confidently showcased her striking physique during a tranquil swim in the Mediterranean Sea, all while spending time at the glamorous resort preferred by celebrities along the French Riviera.

Helena combed back her dark hair after swimming, choosing to go without makeup, highlighting her genuine charm.

She added a touch of style to her poolside appearance by donning a pair of sunglasses tinted purple, protecting her eyes from the sun’s glare.

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

In Cannes, a city that brings together movie directors, dealmakers, and reporters from all over the globe, is often referred to as the Olympic Games of the silver screen. It awards its own prestigious trophy, the Palme d’Or, at the conclusion of the event.

Film creators hail from virtually every part of the world to exhibit their movies, whereas negotiators tirelessly labor throughout the night to broker deals for sold films or pre-packaged productions across numerous regions.

According to the Brazilian director, Kleber Mendonça Filho, he’s releasing a film in an environment reminiscent of the Colosseum, as he returns to Cannes with “The Secret Agent,” a suspenseful story set during Brazil’s dictatorship.

Film creators hail from all around the world, presenting their movies, while negotiators tirelessly work during the night to sell already-completed films or production bundles to different regions.

Preparing thoroughly is crucial since the event will be quite an immersive and intense experience, similar to the anticipation you feel when climbing the stairs towards a thrilling roller coaster at the Palace.

Trump caused a stir in both Hollywood and the global film industry by declaring, on May 4th, that any films produced overseas would be subject to a 100% import tax.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m keeping a close eye on recent developments regarding the entertainment industry. While I can’t reveal any definitive decisions yet, I’ve learned that discussions are underway about potential federal incentives for productions based here in the U.S., rather than imposing tariffs. This shift in strategy is a testament to the complexities of global dynamics and how they can impact even our long-standing cultural pillars. So, stay tuned as we navigate these international tensions together.

The Cannes Film Festival was established during the era of World War II, as a response to the growth of fascism in Italy which resulted in the creation of an opposition to the Venice Film Festival that was under government control at the time.

Since then, Cannes’ unwavering dedication to cinema has turned it into a guiding light for filmmakers. Numerous directors have visited to establish their reputation.

This year, there’s nothing exceptional about it, but some debutant filmmakers at Cannes have already gained a significant amount of recognition.

Actors 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.

As a devoted film enthusiast, I’ve rejoiced at the return of some Cannes veterans this year. Among them are none other than Tom Cruise, who graced us with his presence after the Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning premiere, and the legendary Robert De Niro. He was honored with a Palme d´Or, a recognition that came 49 years after Taxi Driver first premiered in Cannes. Lastly, Quentin Tarantino made an appearance, taking time to honor low-budget Western director George Sherman for his contributions to cinema.

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

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

In recent times, it seems that the glamorous event has garnered more focus on the stylish attire of its high-profile attendees rather than the lineup of movies shown along the Croisette.

However, this year’s festival has introduced stricter dress codes, supposedly for the preservation of decorum.

As reported by event organizers, this strict decision is aimed at curbing the fashionable tendency among celebrities to wear revealing ‘naked dresses’, which expose far more than they cover, on the red carpet.

According to a Cannes Festival rule, it’s important to note that public displays of nudity are not allowed on the red carpet or any other part of the festival for reasons of decency.

At the festival, it’s important that only those who follow the rules will be allowed on the red carpet. The festival staff will make sure to enforce this regulation.

The recently published festival-goers charter unveiled some unexpected changes in its policies, along with guidelines on what is expected from the public during the event.

Visitors will gather at the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière over a busy two-week period, where they’ll witness some of the most prestigious film showcases, including top-tier screenings, during the Cannes event.

It’s clear that the well-known location has shifted towards a stricter dress code, preferring formal attire such as suits, tuxedos, and long evening gowns instead of attention-grabbing outfits.

As a fashion enthusiast, I’m delighted to share that timeless little black dresses, chic cocktail attire, tailored pantsuits, smart tops, and sophisticated sandals, whether they have a heel or not, are all welcome in my wardrobe.

It’s unclear if French television stations, who might have been cautious about showing nudity, influenced the initial decision to enforce a stricter policy.

Significant premier film events such as the Cannes Film Festival are broadcasted in France by France Télévision.

Lately, the annual event has been drawing more models and social media personalities than actors and movie creators. This shift has led to a rise in bold, daring fashion choices on the red carpet.

At the screening of Tre Piani (Three Floors) in 2021, American supermodel Bella Hadid wore a deep-cut black dress that exposed her neckline.

Three years after her initial antic, she repeated the act at the 2024 gala, leaving guests astonished when she showed up at the premiere of Donald Trump’s biopic “The Apprentice” without a bra under a see-through brown evening gown.
