The Cannes Films Festival will commence on May 14. Several celebrities will be gracing the 10-day film festival in Cannes, Paris. This year, Bollywood stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Aditi Rao Hydari will be returning to the festival and walking the red carpet. 


Both Aishwarya and Aditi representing a global beauty brand will be walking the red carpet at the 77th edition of the event on the French Riviera along with several other dignitaries. While Aishwarya has attended Cannes multiple times, Aditi made her debut in 2022. 


In a statement while confirming her visit to Cannes this year, Aditi said, "I strongly advocate that women should confidently embrace their unique selves. Being associated with a brand that has continuously promoted women's empowerment is an honour". 


On the work front, Aditi has been receiving praise for her performance in the series 'Heeramandi' where she essays the role of a courtesan named Bibbojaan. She is also a revolutionary who is fighting for the freedom of the country. The show is set in 1920s Lahore. 

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made her first appearance at Cannes in 2002 for the film 'Devdas' along with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Shah Rukh Khan. The actress was also seen walking the red carpet last year in a dramatic hooded gown. 

Merly Streep to be honoured: 

Meryl Streep will be honored with a special Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival's opening ceremony on May 14, organizers announced Thursday. The Hollywood icon, who won the best actress prize at Cannes in 1989, will join the kickoff of the 77th edition at the Grand Theatre Lumiere.

"I am immeasurably honored to receive the news of this prestigious award. To win a prize at Cannes, for the international community of artists, has always represented the highest achievement in the art of filmmaking. To stand in the shadow of those who have previously been honored is humbling and thrilling in equal part. I so look forward to coming to France to thank everyone in person this May!" Streep said in a statement.

She'll return to the renowned French festival, after a successful Hollywood career spanning five decades.
