From the moment guests arrived, it was clear this would be no ordinary gala. The night opened with a sunset-hued cocktail reception under skies painted in pink, orange, and violet. Model Petra Nemcova, serving as Master of Ceremonies, welcomed a constellation of A-listers and fashion icons, while pianist Peter Bence and illusionist David Jarre enchanted guests with performances that blurred the lines between reality and reverie.
Among the luminous attendees were Halle Berry, Alba Rohrwacher, James Franco, Carla Bruni, Isabelle Huppert, Toni Garrn, and Karolina Kurkova, all resplendent in Chopard jewels. The magic continued as guests entered a dreamlike dining space inspired by enchanted nature and the origins of Earth. Mirrored serpentine tables wound through a lush forest-like setting, where turbot with champagne-elderflower and cosmic-inspired mascarpone desserts delighted the senses.
As the evening descended into night, the sky sparkled not just with diamonds but with music. Ellie Goulding took the stage under a moonlit canopy, captivating the crowd with hits like “Love Me Like You Do” and “Still Falling For You,” before DJ Craig David brought the final sparkle to a night of pure enchantment.
With “Universe” Chopard once again proved that true luxury lies in transcending expectations—and that in Cannes, the sky is never the limit.
