Star-Studded Affair at NESPRESSO & GQ Cannes Soiree
The French Riviera’s social calendar reached a glamorous high point tonight as Nespresso and GQ hosted what is already being hailed as one of the most exclusive gatherings of the 78th Cannes Film Festival. The event drew an impressive constellation of stars from across fashion, film, sports, and music to celebrate cinema’s biggest week in style.
Eva Longoria captivated attendees in a show-stopping bodycon dress featuring intricate silver metal straps that seamlessly doubled as statement jewellery. The Hollywood actress and producer’s ensemble perfectly embodied the evening’s dominant trend, as silver appeared to be the metal of choice for the festival’s most stylish attendees.
The star power was undeniable, with international supermodel Joan Smalls turning heads in a minimalist silver-accented gown, while French-Belgian actress Virginie Efira opted for a more subtle approach with delicate silver accessories complementing her sophisticated black ensemble.
The party’s eclectic guest list, managed by global PR powerhouse Karla Otto, reflected the truly international appeal of both the festival and the prestigious co-hosts. Latin music icon Marc Anthony made an appearance alongside French football superstar Paul Pogba and Grammy-winning artist Frank Ocean, creating a unique cross-cultural atmosphere rarely seen even at Cannes.
The event also showcased an impressive roster of next-generation talent. Social media stars and fashion influencers including Ines Tazi, Eva Gutowski, and Sananas mingled with emerging actors and established models like Praya Lundberg and Ester Exposito, highlighting the evolving landscape of celebrity culture.
As champagne flowed and conversations buzzed against the backdrop of the Mediterranean, the Nespresso & GQ collaboration once again cemented its reputation as a must-attend fixture of the festival circuit—a perfect blend of sophistication, style, and star power that mirrors the essence of Cannes itself.
