Following the world premiere of the first two episodes of The Idol at Cannes’ Palais des Festivals, stars from the HBO Original drama series danced the night away at HBO’s official red carpet after party at the Palm Club Cannes. DJs Justice (DJ SET) and Mr. Saturday kept guests partying into the early morning.
