As a jury member at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Brie Larson had to secure a glamorous wardrobe for the many premieres, dinners, and parties she needed to attend. The star certainly hasn’t disappointed on that front. Larson has looked to Chanel for her appearances thus far, slipping into the French label’s elegant resort wear, and dazzling couture. “[Chanel is] the epitome of classic, chic, and strong, but also easy at the same time,” Larson says. Of course, attending Cannes as a jury member has been about so much more than just dressing up for Larson. The actor sees the iconic film festival as a moment to celebrate the art of filmmaking. “Cannes has always held the standard of what cinema can be, how it can change our minds, how it can push things forward, and how it can make us feel uncomfortable,” says Larson. “So to be a part of something like this is such an honor.” She describes being a part of the jury which also includes actor Paul Dano and director Julia Ducournau like being a part of “a beautiful extended family.” She adds, “we’re all from very different backgrounds, and have now come together to watch the same films and have deep conversations surrounding each of them. It is something so sacred and rewarding that I will cherish for the rest of my life.”
Good news for major red carpet fans The 2023 Cannes Film Festival is officially underway in Cannes, France. The annual event, which premieres and screens some of the most discussed films of the year, produces one of the most lavish step and repeats in the world. It’s a fashion spectacle on par with the Oscars and Met Gala, and a decidedly much more formal one than other film festivals like Venice or TIFF. We’re bound to receive some top tier fashion on La Croisette, thanks to a star studded lineup of new projects. Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City stars Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Tilda Swinton, and Margot Robbie; Todd Haynes’s May December features Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman; and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon is anchored by Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, Robert De Niro, and Brendan Fraser. If all these names aren’t enough, there’s also the 2023 Cannes jury, with members such as Brie Larson, Paul Dano, and Julia Ducournau.
