On Wednesday, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. It got a standing ovation and George Miller and Anya Taylor Joy were both in tears by the looks of things. Anya has been doing the most to promote this film for weeks already, but Cannes was by far the biggest red carpet for the film. Anya delivered – a pale Dior gown, alabaster skin, white-blonde hair and blood red lips. She looked otherworldly. She looked like she was created by AI. She looked like an old Hollywood movie star. What a moment. (That being said, I’m not crazy about this Dior, but the actual dress was beside the point.)
Chris Hemsworth & Elsa Pataky were also on the carpet. I bet you anything Elsa was mad as hell that Anya got so much attention.
Naomi Campbell attended the premiere in a vintage Chanel look. Just one of thousands of priceless vintage pieces in her personal archives. Naomi looked amazing.
Eva Green wore Balmain – she’s forever a goth girl, but it’s fun seeing her interact with the other women on her Cannes jury. She seems to get along well with Greta Gerwig.
Greta Gerwig wore Armani Privé – a classic dress, done well.
Here’s the kicker: this person is Iris Mittenaere and she basically wore Game of Thrones/Mother of Dragons cosplay in Cannes.

Love her hair and makeup, and the silhouette, but the dress is sad beige.
This is exactly the definition of sad beige, not the coastal look. This dress could have been stunning in pretty much any color except this one. But, hey, at least they hemmed it!
It would have been so pretty in a silver or pale pink! So close to perfection, she looks absolutely gorgeous.
The hemline is perfection. It falls just where it should, not an easy task when ladies keep changing up their footwear.
I thought Anya looked perfect in every way. Eva needs to change her hair color and makeup. She’s usually so gorgeous but dropped the ball this time
She is completely washed out. I wish she’d kept the red hair from “The Queen’s Gambit”. That suited her so well (yes, I know blonde is her natural shade though).
Think of how glorious this gown could’ve looked in emerald, sapphire, or amethyst!
The eye color and the eyebrows bely the statement that blonde is her natural shade. I think she looks washed out too in those colors.
@Debbie – She’s certainly not a platinum blonde – I think she’s darkened her eyebrows for effect. I’ve seen early photos of her and she had medium blond hair with much lighter eyebrows. Also early photos where she’s dyed her hair dark brown, but has blonde roots.
The beige color is sad and the shade of lipstick is somehow off, but she looks overall polished and as you said, very golden age Hollywood—echoes of Grace Kelly maybe?
Is Elsa Pataky in the film?
Yes. Not sure why others are being catty about her – she seems like one of those women who everyone needs to think of as a villain and it’s tiring that we have only two categories for women to be in apparently.
I thought that comment a bit odd too…wouldn’t the star of the movie naturally get more attention? And Elsa wore a fairly boring dress, nothing that screams look at me.
That also stuck out to me, especially as it was immediately followed by a photo of her wearing a very basic gown that was clearly designed to look lovely but not pull attention. How on earth do you look at those photos and decide “Ah, she must be trying to one-up the A-list star of her husband’s movie?”
I think she ‘invited’ criticism when they were living in LA, constant pap strolls and magazine covers only because.. she’s married to Chris Hemsworth. It was at an embarrassing level 🤭
(well, even before Chris with the whole “Adrien Brody gifted me a castle”).
Then Chris moved the whole family back to Australia and she disappeared, something she didn’t seem to be happy about at the beginning, judging from her interviews, but then it settled, I guess.
She is not. Her husband is, and I’m not sure why her being there to support him means that she’d be jealous of Anya. I don’t think we have to create hypothetical feelings to pit women against each other when there’s no indication that’s happening.
She is in the movie! I think it’s a small part but they’ve talked about filming together.
ATJ does look stunning! Did you see the back of her hair in the picture of Chris and Elsa? Beautifully done. Naomi’s dress is interesting and beautiful too. I thought everything below Greta’s neck looked very lovely. The hair, make up, and necklace detracts from the overall look.
Elsa’s HAIR!!!!
I love Anya’s necklace. I can’t believe Naomi wore that dress on the runway in 1996 – she’s stunning.
The necklace is a stunner !
Does Elsa Pataky have an attention hog / mean girl reputation?
Google the photos of her when she dated Adrien Brody back in the day. She definitely wanted to be famous and went to everything. I think everyone figured (and maybe her too-ha) that by marrying Chris Hemsworth she’d be all over the place. Instead, they moved back to Australia and live a relatively quiet life.
I think she has that reputation because since her early career she dated successful men in the industry that started with a well known French comedian and every time she managed to trade up in a BIG way.
I think the constant pap strolls in LA contributed to that and methinks that was also a factor in Chris’s decision to relocate to Australia.
She used to have parched levels of attention thirst. I guess they were quenched once they moved Down Under.
Not sure I understand the comment about Elsa, is she someone’s date, is she also in the movie?
The last dress, who is the designer? I love it.
She’s Chris Hemsworth’s wife. I know she’s from Spain and was in several of the later Fast & Furious, but I don’t know why she’d have a beef with Anya.
Elsa has a small part in the movie too.
Elsa and her children are extras in the film, nothing less, nothing more. This is a pattern in her life, getting parts in films with her boyfriends and now husband Chris.
Naomi looks sensational. Dang. I also love Eva. She is so truly herself and that dress is incredible to look at. She is really serving some looks at Cannes.
I find her so strange and almost alien looking. Maybe also because I could not get through Queen’s Gambit-and I tried it twice.
Same. I recognize that she’s a top talent but just (personally) I don’t think she’s that pretty. I understand if others do but just not my jam.
Thank you, I feel like a jerk for thinking Anya is not all that. I don’t get her appeal.
Same here. She performed well in QG but I find her facial features & structure very unattractive. She has the look of someone who got her back teeth removed to accentuate her cheekbones. Just borderline creepy looking to me. Did not like her portrayals in Emma or The Miniaturist.
I love that Dior, the necklace, the hair, the styling. What a mic drop! Damn! I would describe it as metallic as opposed to sad beige. It’s old Hollywood glamour with the red lips. I am here for it.
Naomi looks amazing. Her hair is so spectacular.
Anya looks stunning. The look is so well done from all angles.
It seems like Anya frequently dresses so that her red lipstick is the brightest thing about her.
Having said that, I really like her and think she always looks amazing and flawlessly put together.
After all the other looks, this look is bland and overdone.
I love this beige dress Anya has one of the best looks so far at Cannes. Greta Gerwig looks much better than she did in that sack the other day. Naomi looks awful. Elsa and Eva? Fine. Her and Chris are still hanging in there though. He doesn’t look thrilled, but resigned.
