The 75th Cannes Film Festival is taking place this week, with stars from every corner of the world descending on the red carpet at the Palais de Festivals this week.
A raft of star-studded premieres for upcoming films are set to take place over the 11-day festival, including Top Gun: Maverick, starring Tom Cruise who is returning to the festival for the first time in 30 years, and the biopic Elvis starring Austin Butler.
The event was cancelled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. It went ahead in 2021, but was subject to strict health restrictions – however, this year’s opening ceremony returned to its full glamorous glory once again.
