After the pandemic threw a damper on everything in the past year, things are gradually returning to normal and so are the big annual events. The prestigious Cannes Film Festival made a return in July 2021 and once again major A-list celebrities descended on the famous red carpet at the French festival. Several artists turned up at the French Riviera for the opening ceremony of the festival as they celebrated the spirit of coming back stronger.
As the festival kickstarted, Hollywood's who's who graced the red carpet looking their best. Among those who stole the show with their fashionable avatars were model Bella Hadid who looked perfect in a Jean Paul Gaultier monochrome gown with a sheer train.
Also, actresses Jodie Foster and Marion Cotillard walked the red carpet for the opening ceremony of the festival. Foster was also honoured with the lifetime achievement award at the prestigious festival. Marion Cotillard was joined by Adam Driver and Jessica Chastain as their musical Annette was an opening film at the ceremony.
