LOOK: Filipino celebrities who graced the 2024 Cannes Film Festival
The 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival has officially started, and several celebrities from around the globe have graced the occasion with their presence.
This year's festival, which runs from Tuesday, May 14 to Saturday, May 25, features 10 films vying for the coveted Palme d'Or award.
While no Filipino film made it to the list, local cinema was still recognized. The classic 1980 film Bona, directed by the legendary Lino Brocka and starring Nora Aunor and Philip Salvador, made a triumphant return after 43 years as an official Cannes Classics selection.
But it wasn't just the films getting attention. Filipino celebrities brought their fashion A-game, making a statement on and off the red carpet. Check out who made it to this year's Cannes.
