Cannes Film Festival 2023: The Greatest Purple Carpet Appears

Sixty-plus ft of crimson carpet and 24 steps was the gauntlet friends needed to run — or stroll — because the Cannes Film Festival started. That’s 60-plus ft to make an entrance, create a long-lasting second, catch the eyes of the watching world.

Whether it’s Fan Bingbing with tigers gamboling over the wilds of her robe, Uma Thurman in sweeping cardinal satin or Helen Mirren with hair dyed to match her ice-blue gown, there’s no denying a part of the enjoyable of the competition lies within the trend follies earlier than the movies.
