Naomi Campbell dazzles in vintage Chanel at Cannes 2024
On Wednesday, Naomi Campbell appeared at a premiere during the Cannes Film Festival. She chose a bold outfit for the "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" showing, a piece she first donned nearly 30 years ago.
The 77th Cannes Film Festival began on Tuesday, drawing a constellation of celebrities to the French Riviera for a celebration of cinema. The opening ceremony saw stars like Jane Fonda, Greta Gerwig, and Lily Gladstone. Highlighting the festival's first day, Meryl Streep was honored with the Honorary Gold Palm for her lifetime contributions to the industry, receiving a standing ovation and a heartfelt tribute from Juliette Binoche.
Cannes 2024: Naomi Campbell turns heads in a daring outfit
The Cannes Festival is famed for its red carpet glamor, showcasing cinema's brightest stars in exquisite designs. Yet, at its heart, the event celebrates cinematic excellence, premiering eagerly awaited films. This year, 22 films vied for the Golden Palm, including Francis Ford Coppola’s “lifetime work,” "Megalopolis," a narrative inspired by Donald Trump's "The Apprentice," and new offerings from directors Yorgos Lanthimos and Paolo Sorrentino.
Beyond the competitors, Cannes also features screenings of non-competing productions. This year, we have included the premiere of a new addition to the "Mad Max" universe, recounting the story of Emperor Furiosa. Directed by George Miller, the screening attracted a host of familiar faces.
During the "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" premiere, stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth, who lead the cast, were joined on the red carpet by Hemsworth's partner, Elsa Pataky. The event also had a Polish highlight, with Caroline Derpieński wearing Versace.
A notable appearance at the "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" premiere was Naomi Campbell. The 53-year-old modeling icon captivated attendees in a Chanel dress designed by Karl Lagerfeld—a long, black gown with a sequined top and pearl straps. The dress's bold, partially transparent bottom section drew attention to Campbell's legs and lingerie. This wasn't the first outing for the gown; Campbell originally wore it for Chanel's spring/summer collection in 1997, a moment she recently reminisced about on Instagram with archive photos.
