Cannes Film Festival is currently underway for the 77th time in the French Riviera resort town, where this year’s jury is led by director Greta Gerwig. The coveted Palm d’Or, which has crowned legendary titles like Pulp Fiction (1994), Parasite (2019), and Anatomy of a Fall (2023) ahead of their wide releases, will be awarded in a few days’ time to the festival’s best film. Most of the world won’t catch the movies screening at the star-studded international event for a while, though the two-week celebration of cinema often produces enough buzz and fodder to keep pop culture fans sated from the sidelines. For those of us not able to skip on over to the South of France, sometimes the best picture out of the festival is just a meme. Read on for 15 photos of big screen stars living it up in the famed beaches and lavish hotels of the Côte d’Azur across nearly eight decades of the iconic festival.
