Yesterday, the opening ceremony of the 72nd Cannes Festival was the ultimate reason for jewelers to adorn celebrities with hundreds of carats of diamonds traipsing down the red carpet. The clear blue sky and sunshine overlooking the iconic croisette added sparkle to the carefully chosen outfits of the lucky ones walking up the stairs. As ever, Chopard being the official sponsor of the festival unveiled for the very first time their latest high jewelry pieces. Other jewelry brands attended the ceremony such as Cartier that was spotted on Tilda Swinton, David Morris on Audrey Lamy, Boucheron on Alessandra d’Ambrosio, Selena Gomez on Bvlgari and even Estelle Lefebure in Burma.
