Juliette Binoche was one of the stars of the Cannes Film Festival opening ceremony. President of the jury for this 78th edition, she formed a duo with actor Laurent Lafitte, master of the opening and closing ceremonies. For her first appearance on the red carpet, the French actress turned to Dior for her outfit. She wore a bespoke off-white silk crepe ensemble, comprising a top with an immaculate hood, paired with matching pants.

This haute couture look by Maria Grazia Chiuri required two artisans and no less than 200 hours of work. The actress’s hairstyle, with her hair up in a low bun, showed off her graceful head carriage and highlighted a splendid diamond dangle earring by Chopard.
Once up the notable steps with her characteristic elegance, Binoche gave a powerful speech in which she paid tribute to Fatma Hassouna, the Palestinian photojournalist killed in Gaza on April 16 by Israeli bombardment, age 25. She is the heroine of Sepideh Farsi‘s documentary Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk, part of the Acid selection at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
