Princess Diana's Nieces Shut Down the Red Carpet in Stunning Monochromatic Gowns
Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer, twin sisters and nieces of the late Princess Diana, brought royal fashion to the red carpet at the 78th Cannes Film Festival in their striking monochromatic ensembles. With nods to their royal heritage and sisterly bond, there's lots to appreciate about the Spencer women's latest French appearance. Karwai Tang / Contributor The 32-year-old twins made a dramatic entrance at the premiere of La Venue De L'avenir at Cannes' Palais des Festivals, wearing complementary strapless gowns from the Vera Wang Bride x Pronovias 2025 collection. While Amelia donned a white version, Eliza wore its sleek black counterpart. Standing together, they invoke the harmony of the yin yang or—for the New Yorkers out there—a black and white cookie. Whichever way you land in this sartorial Rorschach test, the red carpet impact is fabulous—and totally subverts the idea that dressing together as twins is just for the kids. EarlBoth dresses featured peplum waists, fitted mermaid skirts and flowing chiffon trains. Styled with sleek, matching buns, diamond chokers and drop earrings, the sisters exuded elegance and sophistication.

Power outage disrupts last day of Cannes Film Festival; police investigating possible arson
Movies to get excited about from Cannes Film Festival, dress code update A major power outage struck southeastern France on Saturday morning, disrupting traffic and briefly halting events at the Cannes Film Festival as the prestigious event prepared to hand out its top prize. Power was restored around 3 p.m. local time, as music began blasting again from beachfront speakers. The end of the blackout was greeted with loud cheers from locals. Earlier, about 160,000 households in the Alpes-Maritimes department lost electricity after a high-voltage line fell Saturday morning, electricity network operator RTE said on X. The outage came hours after a fire at an electrical substation near Cannes overnight had already weakened the grid. Police have opened an investigation into possible arson. "We are looking into the likelihood of a fire being started deliberately," said a spokesperson for the French national gendarmerie. Traffic lights are switched off during an electricity outage in Cannes, southern France, Saturday, May 24, 2025. Lewis Joly / AP Cannes Film Festival organizers confirmed the outage affected the early activities of Saturday and said the Palais des Festivals — the Croisette's main venue — had switched to an independent power supply. "All scheduled events and screenings, including the Closing Ceremony, will proceed as planned and under normal conditions," the statement said. "At this stage, the cause of the outage has not yet been identified. Restoration efforts are underway." Traffic lights in parts of Cannes and the surrounding city of Antibes stopped working after 10 a.m. local time, leading to traffic jams and confusion in city centers. Most shops along the Croisette remained closed, and local food kiosks were only accepting cash. Train service in Cannes was also disrupted. Screenings at the Cineum, one of the festival's satellite venues, were briefly suspended, the festival added. The lineup was unveiled last month for Cannes.
