Cannes 2024: Naomi Campbell wows in a daring outfit at the premiere
The Cannes Festival is famed for its red carpet and celebrities showcasing designs from top fashion houses. Above all, the festival celebrates film and the premieres of eagerly anticipated movies. This year, 22 titles vied for the Golden Palm, featuring works like Francis Ford Coppola's magnum opus Megalopolis, a narrative surrounding Donald Trump's The Apprentice, and new offerings from directors Yorgos Lanthimos and Paolo Sorrentino.
Moreover, Cannes hosted screenings of films that were not competing in the main event. On Wednesday, within the festival's framework, the premiere of the latest entry in the beloved "Mad Max" universe about Emperor Furiosa occurred. The screening of George Miller's film attracted numerous well-known personalities.
At the "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" premiere, the red carpet saw, among others, Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth in lead roles, with Hemsworth's partner Elsa Pataky by his side. The event also featured a Polish presence, with Caroline Derpieński donning a Versace ensemble.
One of the stars at the Wednesday premiere of "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" was also Naomi Campbell. The 53-year-old fashion icon chose an outfit that effortlessly drew attention. Campbell graced the film screening alongside Anya Taylor-Joy wearing a long, black Chanel gown designed by Karl Lagerfeld, distinguished by a sequined top and pearl straps. The daring lower part of the dress featured transparent elements showcasing the model’s lingerie and elegant legs.
The dress in which Naomi Campbell appeared in Cannes is notable not only for its design but also because it marked a comeback. Campbell had previously stunned in the same gown on the runway at the Chanel spring/summer collection show in 1997. The model took to Instagram to remind her fans of this fact, sharing archive photos from that event.
