The queens of the Cannes Film Festival are slim, beautiful and over 50 years old.
The Cannes Film Festival – one of the most glamorous events on the red carpet calendar – is in full swing and you better believe A-listers are cooking up a storm in the south of France. The flamboyant Sienna Miller appeared with her daughter Marlowe; Selena Gomez swapped diamonds for an affordable ensemble; and supermodel Bella Hadid just entered the port. But we couldn’t help but notice that women over 50 made the greatest impact.
Maybe it’s the confidence that comes with age, or maybe it’s the fact that each of them looks absolutely incredible, but the likes of Demi Moore (61), Naomi Campbell (53), Michelle Yeoh (61), Isabelle Huppert (71), Julianne Moore (63), Salma Hayek (57), Uma Thurman (54) and Jane Fonda (86) owned the film festival’s red carpet.
It’s an exhaustive list of women who, in another era, would have been slightly relegated to the background of the industry. Now they’re the main event: glamorous blow-dries, glowing skin, and chic outfits to boot.
