STYLEBella Hadid, Jessica Chastain, Candice Swanepoel, More Dazzle On The Red Carpet At The 74th Cannes Film Festival Opening Ceremony
The 74th annual Cannes Film Festival is underway! The très chic event is taking place from July 6-July 17, after being rescheduled from May.
American director Spike Lee was invited to be the head of the jury for the festival for a second time, after the COVID-19 pandemic in France scuttled plans to have him head the jury of the 2020 Cannes Film Festival.
The Cannes red carpet notoriously brings out major glitz and glamour, and this year's opening ceremony didn't disappoint.
