STYLE Edit: Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas party at Cannes Film Festival’s Chopard Love Night
Lavish, celebrity-packed event, hosted by the luxury Swiss watchmaker-jeweller, features a sultry stage act by Dita von Teese and concert by singing superstar Mariah Carey
The 72nd annual Cannes Film Festival, which started on May 14, will be ending on Saturday.
Nominees for the Palme d’Or, the most prestigious award given at the festival, include a Chinese drama, The Wild Goose Lake, directed by Diao Yinan and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino’s latest dark comedy, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie.
In celebration of the festival, Swiss watchmaker-jeweller Chopard has been organising numerous activities throughout the event – most notably the annual Chopard soirée, long-considered one of the festival’s most anticipated parties.
The luxury brand has been a partner of the Cannes Film Festival since 1998.
Caroline Scheufele, the company’s co-president and artistic director, who is an ardent film-lover, redesigned the Palme d’Or trophy in 1997.
The maison has provided the Palme d’Or and other trophies for the closing ceremony at Cannes ever since.
Scheufele hosted guests at Le Cannet for this year’s Chopard Love Night dinner, offering performances by opera singers and husband-and-wife duo Anna Netrebko and Yusif Eyvazov, a sultry stage act by Dita von Teese and an exclusive concert by global superstar Mariah Carey.
