Actress Deepika Padukone makes an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival 2022 dinner, alongside other jury members at the event’s dinner. Wearing a bejeweled Louis Vuitton outfit from the label’s Fall 2021 line, the actress looked ravishing in the French event.
She was joined by Cannes Film Festival director Thierry Fremaux, US film director and member of the Jury of the Official Selection Jeff Nichols, British actress and member of the Jury of the Official Selection Rebecca Hall, and Italian actress and member of the Jury of the Official Selection Jasmine Trinca.
Earlier this month, Deepika Padukone was announced to be part of the esteemed jury panel at the 75th Cannes Film Festival which runs from May 17 till May 28.
Deepika also shared a sneak peek with her fans on Instagram as she landed in France for the gala. In the video, Deepika is finding it hard to choose between eating or sleeping.
French actor Vincent Lindon is the president of the jury for the 75th edition, which kicks off today. Lindon, who won the 2015 Best Actor award at Cannes for The Measure of a Man, starred in last year’s Palme d’Or winner ‘Titane’.
Joining Lindon on the jury panel along with Deepika are actor-director Rebecca Hall, Noomi Rapace, and Italian actor-director Jasmine Trinca, as well as directors Asghar Farhadi, Ladj Ly, Jeff Nichols, and Joachim Trier. The jury will pick the winners of this year’s Palme d’Or honours at a gala ceremony in Cannes on May 28.
According to reports, Deepika, who has been a red carpet regular at the Cannes film festival since 2017, is expected to walk for all ten days.
In a statement, posted on the official website of the festival, Lindon said, “It is a great honour and source of pride to be entrusted, in the midst of the tumult of all the events we are going through in the world, with the splendid, weighty task of chairing the Jury of the 75th International Cannes Film Festival.” “With my jury, we will strive to take the best possible care of the films of the future, all of which carry the same secret hope of courage, loyalty and freedom, with a mission to move the greatest number of women and men by speaking to them of their common wounds and joys. Culture helps the human soul to rise and hope for tomorrow.”
