The evening began with a chivalrous gesture.

Around 6:45 p.m., this Friday, May 20, Idris Elba, as a perfect gentleman, readjusted the train of his wife Sabrina on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival.

The actor came to present his film

on the Croisette , alongside Tilda Swinton.

A climb of the steps fleetingly interrupted by a bare-breasted activist, who came to protest against the rapes committed in Ukraine.

A few hours later, it was Marion Cotillard, sublime in a Chanel playsuit, who walked the

in more peaceful conditions.

The actress stayed true to the Cannes red carpet aesthetic by opting for a black outfit, but navigated a less sober path than it looked by playing the card of mini shorts combined with high heels needles.

Here, it was the garment closest to the body.

And at the same time, a silhouette marked by comfort, even in its most refined aspects (muslin sleeves which give rise to games between opacity and transparency).

An audience in which were found in particular Xavier Dolan, Rossy de Palma, president of the jury of the Golden Camera, all dressed in pink, or even Ladj Ly.
