Cannes 2026 opening ceremony: Demi Moore, Heidi Klum, and Jane Fonda steal the spotlight at the red carpet

The ‘Substance’ star, who was part of the main competition jury at Cannes 2026, turned heads as she arrived at the festival in a stunning strapless, figure-hugging, silver sequined custom Jacquemus gown. Moore completed the look with diamond jewellery from Chopard, including floral earrings and a matching five-tier necklace. The 63-year-old gave her hair a center partition, letting it fall loosely past her shoulders.

The model and TV star graced the red carpet for the premiere of ‘La Vénus Électrique’ (‘The Electric Kiss’) dressed in a graceful peach-colored Elie Saab gown. The strapless outfit, from the designer’s 1001 Seasons collection, featured a plunging neckline with a 3D floral patch and a long train dramatically cascading behind Klum. The ‘America’s Got Talent’ host opted for minimal accessories, wearing a single golden bracelet on one hand and a few matching rings on the other. She also kept her voluminous hair side-parted, blending blonde highlights and face-framing layers for a classic Hollywood glam look.

The Hollywood icon made her first public appearance since the death of her husband, Ted Turner, at the 79th Cannes Film Festival. Fonda opted for an elegant look in a signature full-sleeves black sequined shimmery Gucci gown and jewellery from Pomellato High. She also gave her silver-gray curly bob hair a slightly tousled texture and kept the natural volume for a timeless, elegant appearance. The Academy Award winner later took to the stage to open the event with actress Gong Li.

‘The Lord of the Rings’ star attended the 79th Cannes Film Festival to pay homage to director Peter Jackson as he received his honorary Palme d'Or. Wood opted for a classic formal look, wearing a tuxedo featuring a black coat, matching trousers, white undershirt and a black bow-tie. The actor completed his look with black sunglasses and black formal shoes. Wood also drew attention as he broke a longstanding Cannes red carpet rule by taking a selfie during arrivals.

The legendary actress-author joined other stars for the premiere of ‘La Vénus Électrique’ at Cannes 2026. Collins, 92, stole the spotlight as she arrived at the red carpet in a white Stephane Rolland ensemble. The sculptural bodice adorned with petal-like ruffles complemented the fitted skirt, which accentuated her silhouette before flowing into an elegant finish. The 92-year-old ‘Dynasty’ star accessorized her look with a dazzling diamond necklace and chandelier earrings. She completed the look with an elegant updo fit for Hollywood royalty.
