Moonrise Kingdom Gets Glitzy Glamorous Premiere at Cannes
You have to love Cannes, especially if you’re a fan of old-school Hollywood glamour. Not even for a red carpet LA premiere do the stars, particularly the female stars, get as dolled up as they do for a gala premiere at Cannes. What I find especially amusing is the stars who cross the ocean and a couple of time zones just for the occasion. They have no movie to promote, they just want a chance to get dressed up. Lana del Ray in a simple black Alberta Ferretti is one such example this year, but there is never a greater example of this than Eva Longoria.
The diminutive perpetual starlet has shown up to Cannes for the last seven or eight years for the express purpose of having her picture taken in some over-the-top designer evening dress. And she did not disappoint.
The movie in question for tonight’s gala was the opening night presentation of Wes Anderson’s eagerly awaited Moonrise Kingdom and most of the stars of the film and certainly most in attendance are male. The lone distaff representative was Tilda Swinton but she was in Haider Ackerman, an edgy but appropriate choice for fashion forward Swinton, but no match for the organza, cotton candy lace puffery of Longoria’s Marchesa.
Jane Fonda looks AH-MAZ-BALLS. That is all.
Chris Pine, looking stellar and Alec Baldwin, are both in town to support Rise of the Guardians As I mentioned earlier, Alec will also host Cannes biggest bash, the AmFar benefit. He had his fiancé Hilaria in tow and she looked very old-Hollywood elegant and I don’t know anything about her other than she teaches yoga, but she’s obviously very good for Alec because he looks better than he has in years. Remember when he used to be HOT?
Having a hot young wife is working for Bruce Willis too, one of the stars of Moonrise Kingdom. Love the tux Bruce. Edward Norton showed up but, I wasn’t impressed with his suit. Make an effort. Even Bill Murray glammed up for the occasion. C'mon Ed, you don’t do this every day. You can continue saving the planet tomorrow.
God, aka Harvey Weinstein, made an appearance. I think I saw some people genuflecting in the background. Ewan McGregor cleaned up nicely. Not sure what’s up with that hair. Perhaps its an homage to David Lynch.
Hands down the best dressed for the second time today was his fellow juror Diane Kruger. Flawless.
So we’re off and running for eleven days of glitz, glamour, premieres and parties. And movie news. Lots and lots of movie news. Apparently tonight’s, Moonrise Kingdom, was a hit with the audience at the Palais du Festival. More on that when it gets closer to home.
