2022-05-17T04:32:30.948Z


Sophie Marceau's breast, Lady Di's climb up the stairs, the unmissable duo Jeanne Moreau Vanessa Paradis, the opening and closing ceremonies... The cult moments on and off the red carpet, which have shaped the legend of the Cannes Film Festival .


Impossible to escape it.

Every year, the past catches up with the celebrities who have walked the Cannes Film Festival red carpet.

Because the effervescence of the month of May very often brings back distant memories, which some would have preferred to bury forever.

Between sulphurous appearances, charming duos and spotlights, stolen, cult or embarrassing moments, the Croisette has experienced memorable hazards, one of the most famous of which involves the breasts of actress Sophie Marceau, inadvertently given over to photographers .

Back on these missteps and other timeless appearances, which fuel the magic of Cannes.

sulphurous auras

In 1992, Sharon Stone panics the Croisette.

The actress walks the Festival red carpet for the first time, and caused a sensation at the presentation of her latest film,

Basic Instinct

.

"Before, I was nobody", she says then, soon victim of her success.

To the point of being harassed even in her hotel, by a “lobby of a hundred people”.

The ransom of glory, some would say.

Thirteen years later, in 2005, Sophie Marceau also saw what is called a "

red carpet moment

", more stormy this time.

In the middle of the stairs, the actress poses for the photographers when she lets out a breast in the middle of the red carpet.

All this, just before attending the screening of the film…

The Naked Truth

.

An incident far from being isolated – no later than this May 8, 2018, the Mexican actress Patricia Contreras also left a glimpse of her chest during the climb of the stairs.

Slippages sometimes controlled, like Bella Hadid, nicknamed "the almost naked girl" of the 2016 edition of the Festival.

At the time, the model didn't hesitate to sport a red dress that emphasized her apparent lack of underwear.

An ideal way to create the event.

If the photographers obviously rushed on these true-false accidents of life on the red carpet, they also - rarely - remained idle.

Remember their boycott of Isabelle Adjani on the steps of Cannes in 1983, after the actress spent the day fleeing photocalls.

Legendary couples

Others, like Claudia Cardinale, have found divergent ways of making an impression.

In 1963, the actress appeared alongside her partner Burt Lancaster on the beach at the Carlton Hotel.

Having come to promote the film

Le Guépard

, by Luchino Visconti, the duo are on a leash… a real feline, straight out of Mr Franchi's circus.

A first on the Croisette.

At the Cannes Film Festival, success is often combined in the plural.

The event thus saw a number of acclaimed duos parade, such as Jeanne Moreau and Vanessa Paradis who sang

Le Tourbillon de la vie

in 1995. And how can we forget the climb of the steps of Lady Diana and her husband Prince Charles in 1987?

Welcomed by the mayor of the city, Anne-Mary Dupuy, they honored with their presence the screening of the film

Les Baleines in August

, acclaimed by the crowd.

On a more Hollywood side, in 2002, Ryan Gosling and Sandra Bullock walked the Cannes red carpet hand in hand.

Lovers in the city as on the screen, their complicity enchanted the public who came to attend the screening of their film

Murderous calculations

.

The danger of Cannes

But who says media overexposure, also says awakening of lusts.

In 2013, burglars stole $530,000 worth of Chopard jewelry from a hotel in Cannes.

Result of the races: three watches, six pairs of diamond earrings, a necklace, a bracelet and a sapphire ring disappear from circulation.

Some unlucky ones even had to endure the onslaught of a somewhat intrusive admirer.

Namely the now famous "star molester", Vitalii Sediuk.

The Ukrainian journalist alone will have kissed Kim Kardashian's buttocks in 2016, grabbed Bradley Cooper's leg in 2014, and pushed Leonardo DiCaprio in 2014... So many minor difficulties that will not deter celebrities from offering us, for a long time, memorable pearls.
