The opening film was Jeanne du Barry, a new movie by director Maïwenn. On the red carpet, many celebrities were present, including Charlotte Casiraghi and Dimitri Rassam. The daughter of Caroline of Monaco had made a stunning appearance wearing a long navy blue dress adorned with flowers, while her husband wore an elegant navy blue suit, white shirt and black bow tie.
