Julianne Moore was the epitome of chic in an all black ensemble as she arrived at H๏τel Martinez during day five of the 78th Cannes Film Festival on Saturday. 

The American actress, 64, cut a sophisticated figure as she wore a black ʙuттoned-up shirt which featured stylish gold ʙuттons.

She paired her chic garment with a pair of well tailored floor-length flared black trousers.

To accessorise, Julianne kept a low profile with a pair of large black tinted sunglᴀsses and a myriad of gold bangles. 

She added a more casual touch to her look as she slipped into a pair of black leather trainers to keep comfortable.

Julianne toted her belongings in a large black leather handbag and she styled her urban tresses straight across her shoulders.

Julianne has joined a whole host of stars in descending on Cannes for the H๏τly-anticipated annual film festival. 

However, this year’s Cannes Film Festival is taking place in the wake of Trump´s vow to enact tariffs on international films.

Cannes, where filmmakers, sales agents and journalists gather from around the world, is the Olympics of the big screen, with its own golden prize, the Palme d’Or, to give out at the end. 

Filmmakers come from nearly every corner of the globe to showcase their films while dealmakers work through the night to sell finished films or packaged productions to various territories.

‘You release a film into that Colosseum-like situation,’ said Brazilian director Kleber Mendonça Filho, who’s returning to Cannes with The Secret Agent, a thriller set during Brazil´s dictatorship. 

‘You’ve got to really prepare for the whole experience because it´s quite intense – not very far from the feeling of approaching a roller coaster as you go up the steps at the Palais.’

Trump sent shock waves through Hollywood and the international film community when he announced on May 4 that all movies ‘produced in Foreign Lands’ will face 100 per cent tariffs.

The White House has said no final decisions have been made. Options being explored include federal incentives for U.S.-based productions, rather than tariffs.

At this year’s festival, Scarlett Johansson (Eleanor the Great) and Harris Dickinson (Urchin) will all be unveiling their feature directorial debuts in Cannes´ Un Certain Regard sidebar section. 

Scarlett’s directorial debut Eleanor The Great, will be unveiled on May 20.

Over recent years, the star-studded extravaganza has arguably won more attention for the outfits worn by its celebrity guests than the roster of feature films being screened on the Croisette. 

But new nudity rules, devised for ‘the sake of decency,’ have been implemented at this year’s festival.  

According to organisers, the austere move is an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for ‘naked dresses’ – namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal – on the red carpet.

‘For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival,’ states a Cannes festival document.

‘The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.’ 

The surprise new policy features in a recent festival-goers charter – released with a series of outlines regarding expected public behaviour. 

Classic little black dresses, cocktail dresses, pant-suits, dressy tops and elegant sandals, ‘with or without a heel’, will also be permitted.  

While the decision to implement a more stringent policy will be a first, it is not known if French TV broadcasters, wary of airing nudity, played a role in its enforcement.

Major red carpet events, including the Cannes Film Festival, are aired in France by France Télévisions.

Recently attracting more models and influencers than actors and filmmakers, the annual ceremony has seen an increase in risque red carpet fashion statements. 

In 2021, American supermodel Bella Hadid bared her cleavage in a  plunging black gown while attending a screening of Tre Piani (Three Floors).

She pulled a similar stunt three years later, with guests at the 2024 gala left speechless after she attended the premiere of Donald Trump biopic The Apprentice completely braless beneath a sheer brown evening dress.
