The 2025 Cannes Film Festival, now at its halfway point, has already delivered surprises, standout stars, and new regulations, making it one of the most talked-about editions in recent years.
As the 2025 Cannes Film Festival approaches its final days — with the closing scheduled for May 24 — the event has captured global attention through a mix of surprise appearances, A-list celebrities, and newly enforced red carpet rules. The festival kicked off with tributes, such as the one honoring Robert De Niro, and unexpected moments like Denzel Washington receiving an honorary Palme d'Or during the premiere of Spike Lee’s film. Rihanna also stunned onlookers by joining A$AP Rocky on the red carpet.
Tom Cruise premiered the latest "Mission: Impossible" installment, while Bono debuted a personal documentary. Films at the festival have largely reflected contemporary concerns, such as climate change and geopolitical crises, with many already gaining Oscar buzz.
Cannes has also made headlines for formalizing dress code rules, and overly dramatic gowns. The festival also saw milestones like the first Nigerian film featured in an official selection and the directorial debuts of celebrities like Kristen Stewart and Scarlett Johansson.
