Jodie Foster showed off her impeccable sense of style as she was joined by Daniel Auteuil and Rebecca Zlotowski at the photocall for their latest movie, A Private Life, in Cannes, France, on Wednesday. The American actress, 62, cut a stylish figure in a cream floral fringe maxi dress as she posed alongside her co-star and movie director at Palais des Festivals during the Cannes Film Festival. Jodie turned heads in the chic sleeveless ensemble, which featured a high neckline, a bold floral print, and bohemian fringe hem. She added inches to her frame with gold open-toe platform heels before further accessorising her look with a silver diamond bracelet and dainty gold hoop earrings. The Silence of the Lambs star styled her short blonde locks straight for the evening, and showcased her natural beauty wearing minimal makeup.

Meanwhile her co-star Daniel, 75, looked suave in a beige zip-up bomber jacket, white button-up shirt, and stone jeans. He sported a pair of off-white lace-up trainers as he beamed for the cameras alongside his co-star. While French movie director Rebecca, 45, exuded elegance in a black dress as she joined her colleagues for several photos. Her chic ensemble featured an asymmetrical button-up fastening and a belt to cinch in her waist. She added height to her frame with pointed black court heels and accessorised with a pair of trendy tortoiseshell shades. Later in the day, Jodie attended a press conference for the new movie, where she revealed that she had previously been offered leading roles in French films before making Vie Privée, but was 'too scared' to take them on. The Oscar winner is fluent in the language, having attended a French school while growing up in Los Angeles. She told Variety: 'I had secondary parts (in French films) before, but I was actually afraid, The Silence of the Lambs star styled her short blonde locks straight for the evening, and showcased her natural beauty wearing minimal makeup 'A number of directors offered me projects, but I was too scared to act in French. I thought someone who was more familiar with French should do so. But I don't really remember how things worked out this time around.' Earlier in the press conference, Jodie said leading a French movie was something she had 'wanted to do for a long time', but learning all of the dialogue was a huge challenge for her. She added: 'The great thing is that when I act in French, I'm a totally different person. I have a much higher voice, I'm much less confident, and I get very frustrated because I can't express myself as well.' The movie, which premiered at the festival on Tuesday evening, received an impressive eight-minute standing ovation, according to Variety. The new psychological thriller sees Jodie's character, Lilian Steiner, launch a private investigation into the death of one of her patients after she becomes convinced she has been murdered. Directed and co-written by Rebecca, Jodie stars in the movie alongside the likes of Daniel, Virginie Efira, Mathieu Amalric and Vincent Lacoste. This year's Cannes Film Festival is taking place in the wake of Trump's vow to enact tariffs on international films. Cannes, where filmmakers, sales agents and journalists gather from around the world, is the Olympics of the big screen, with its own golden prize, the Palme d´Or, to give out at the end. Filmmakers come from nearly every corner of the globe to showcase their films while dealmakers work through the night to sell finished films or packaged productions to various territories. 'You release a film into that Colosseum-like situation,' says Brazilian director Kleber Mendonça Filho, who's returning to Cannes with 'The Secret Agent, a thriller set during Brazil 's dictatorship. 'You've got to really prepare for the whole experience because it's quite intense - not very far from the feeling of approaching a roller coaster as you go up the steps at the Palais.' Trump sent shock waves through Hollywood and the international film community when he announced on May 4 that all movies 'produced in Foreign Lands' will face 100 percent tariffs. The White House has said no final decisions have been made. Options being explored include federal incentives for U.S.-based productions, rather than tariffs. But the announcement was a reminder of how international tensions can destabilise even the oldest cultural institutions. The Cannes Film Festival originally emerged in the World War II years, when the rise of fascism in Italy led to the founding of an alternative to the then-government-controlled Venice Film Festival. In the time since, Cannes' resolute commitment to cinema has made it a beacon to filmmakers. Countless directors have come to make their name. This year is no different, though some of the first-time filmmakers at Cannes are already particularly well-known. Kristen Stewart (The Chronology of Water), Scarlett Johansson (Eleanor the Great) and Harris Dickinson (Urchin) have all unveiled their feature directorial debuts in Cannes' Un Certain Regard sidebar section. Many Cannes veterans have returned, including Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning), Robert De Niro - who received an honorary Palme d´Or 49 years after Taxi Driver premiered in Cannes - and Quentin Tarantino, who paid tribute to low-budget Western director George Sherman. Meanwhile, Scarlett's directorial debut, Eleanor The Great, will be unveiled on May 20. However, in the wake of his legal battle with former co-star Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni is not expected to attend. Over recent years, the star-studded extravaganza has arguably won more attention for the outfits worn by its celebrity guests than the roster of feature films being screened on the Croisette. But new nudity rules, devised for 'the sake of decency,' have been implemented at this year's festival. According to organisers, the austere move is an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for 'naked dresses' - namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal - on the red carpet. 'For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival,' states a Cannes festival document. 'The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.' The new psychological thriller sees Jodie's character, Lilian Steiner, launch a private investigation into the death of one of her patients after she becomes convinced she has been murdered The surprise new policy features in a recent festival-goers charter - released with a series of outlines regarding expected public behaviour. Guests are expected to converge on the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière for some of the highest-profile film screenings across a packed two-week schedule in Cannes. It's understood that the iconic venue now adopts a more conservative dress code, with suits, dinner jackets, and floor-length evening gowns generally favoured over headline-grabbing ensembles. Classic little black dresses, cocktail dresses, pant-suits, dressy tops and elegant sandals, 'with or without a heel', will also be permitted. While the decision to implement a more stringent policy will be a first, it is not known if French TV broadcasters, wary of airing nudity, played a role in its enforcement. Major red carpet events, including the Cannes Film Festival, are aired in France by France Télévisions. Recently attracting more models and influencers than actors and filmmakers, the annual ceremony has seen an increase in risque red carpet fashion statements. In 2021, American supermodel Bella Hadid bared her cleavage in a plunging black gown while attending a screening of Tre Piani (Three Floors). She pulled a similar stunt three years later, with guests at the 2024 gala left speechless after she attended the premiere of Donald Trump's biopic The Apprentice completely braless beneath a sheer brown evening dress.

Ellie Goulding exudes glamour in an elegant strapless brown gown as she attends Cannes Film Festival's A Private Life premiere
Ellie Goulding exuded glamour as she graced the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival 's A Private Life premiere on Tuesday. The British singer, 38, stunned in an elegant strapless brown gown, which featured a coordinating neck scarf. The show-stopping ensemble boasted a fitted corset bodice flowing into a wrap-style skirt with a graceful train. She paired the look with a pair of gold sandal heels and accessorised with statement earrings. Ellie swept her golden locks into soft, side-swept curls and completed her look with a bronzed makeup palette that enhanced her radiant complexion. The songstress appeared in high spirits as she posed up a storm on the red carpet before heading into the star-studded premiere. A Private Life (Vie privée) is a French-psychological thriller film in which Jodie Foster stars as psychiatrist Lilian Steiner. Her character decides to launch a private investigation into the death of one of her patients after she becomes convinced she has been murdered. Directed and co-written by Rebecca Zlotowski, Jodie is starring alongside the likes of Daniel Auteuil, Virginie Efira, Mathieu Amalric and Vincent Lacoste. Jodie, who is fluent in French, has previously starred in other French-language productions including Fleur Bleu when she was just 14 years old. But it is the first time she has ever taken on a leading role in a French-language film and Jodie told Vanity Fair she felt 'a lot freer' on her most recent project. Ellie's Cannes trip comes after she revealed the painful-looking results from a cosmetic treatment and sparked concern among her fans. Ellie, who often bats away rumours she uses injectables such as Botox and filler, shared a shocking video on TikTok following a laser facial which left her skin red raw. Sharing the results with her 1.7 million followers, the star captioned the clip: 'I give up trying to look snatched.' The songstress appeared in high spirits as she posed up a storm on the red carpet before heading into the star-studded premiere Ellie, who shares four-year-old son Arthur with her ex-husband Caspar Jopling, added that she felt like she'd been 'attacked by a laser grill' following the procedure. After sharing the immediate results of her treatment, fans rushed to the comment section to express their concern. One fan wrote: 'My god Ellie, what happened to your skin? I hope it's fine.'; 'Ouch. sorry.'; 'You were beautiful just as you were! Not sure why you think you need to do anything. We love you for you!' Laser skin resurfacing is loved by A-list stars including Jennifer Aniston, Kim Kardashian and Hailey Bieber, and is becoming a popular method of anti-ageing. It is a cosmetic procedure that uses laser energy to improve skin tone, texture, and appearance, addressing issues like wrinkles, scars, and uneven pigmentation by stimulating collagen production and removing the outer layers of skin. The cost of a laser facial in London's private medical district, Harley Street, ranges from £450 to £1,330 for a single session, with some treatments costing up to £2,500 or more. Ellie previously denied getting Botox or filler in the past but has been open about her desire to look her best in an industry that puts a premium on youth and beauty. She told Vogue in 2023: 'I am always having my photo taken so my biggest priority is to make sure my skin looks hydrated and fresh. She continued: 'I love to use cryotherapy-inspired tools, like ice globes, straight from the freezer on my face in the morning to relieve puffiness before applying an under-eye mask.' In 2014, the singer also denied undergoing a boob job, explaining: 'My boobs look bigger because my waist is smaller. People underestimate how you can shape your body. Since I stopped eating meat and fish, my body's better than ever.' She was also forced to quash speculation in 2016 that she'd had lip filler, after she was pictured at the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy gala in Los Angeles, with noticeably plumper lips and a generally smoother, streamlined appearance. Although she has always been the owner of plump, pouty lips, they appeared fuller than usual, with the slick of pale pink gloss only adding to their volume.

Mediawan's Montreal ‘Miraculous' & ‘The Little Prince' Production Studio ON Animation Closes As Tax Credit Squeeze Bites
ON Animation Studios, the Mediawan-owned, Montreal-based facility which worked on hits such as Mune: Guardian of the Moon, The Little Prince, Playmobil: The Movie, and Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, is shutting down. The company announced the news on its LinkedIn page on Monday, saying the closure was due to changes across the animation industry. More from Deadline Chantal Kreviazuk Changes Canadian National Anthem Lyrics During NHL Game Against U.S. 'Mayday: Air Disaster' Spin-Off In The Works Sony Pictures Classics Acquires Rebecca Zlotowski's Jodie Foster Murder Mystery 'Vie Privée' 'It is sad to say goodbye to a team as incredible, talented, and skilled as ours. We will deeply miss the joy and excitement of creating outstanding films alongside such remarkable people and partners,' read the ON Animation statement. The closure has been greeted with dismay by the Quebec animation scene and past collaborators, but is not wholly unexpected. Both the animation and VFX sectors in Canada's province of Quebec have gone from boom to bust in recent months following the provincial government's decision to set a 65% cap on tax credits for international film studios when they employ companies operating in the mainly French-speaking region. The local administration says the tax credit, which was introduced in 1998, has become too expensive to bankroll. Quebec animation and VFX professionals lobbied for the tax credits to remain in place, warning their reduction would decimate local businesses, but their calls went unheeded. In the backdrop, tighter Canadian restrictions around employing Temporary Foreign Workers (TFW) have also hit both sectors. ON Animation Studios was originally created by Aton Soumache and Dimitri Rassam under their ON Entertainment banner to execute the animation on features The Little Prince and Playmobil: The Movie. ON Entertainment was acquired by Mediawan in 2017, while the former producing partners have since gone their separate ways. Soumache is now honorary chairman of Mediawan Kids & Family as well as co-head with Joann Sfar of Mediawan-owned Magical Society. Rassam produces under the banner of Chapter 2 which is also in the Mediawan fold. Contacted by Deadline, Mediawan confirmed the closure and laid-out its animation production strategy going forward.'Mediawan Kids & Family Cinéma (formerly Onyx Films) and Miraculous Corp continue to develop their animated film production line-ups in their France-based studios, and will now collaborate with partner studios around the world for their animated films, selecting them on a project-by-project basis based on funding and the location of the talent attached to each production,' it said in a statement. Miraculous Corp is a joint venture between producer and composer Jérémy Zag, the driving force behind the Ladybug & Cat Noir franchise, and Mediawan co-founder Pierre-Antoine Capton. News of ON Animation's closure comes days after historic visual effects company Technicolor announced it was on the cusp of foreclosure due to long-running financial challenges, and that it was closing The Mill, MPC Advertising and Mikros Animation subsidiaries in the U.S. with immediate effect. Its UK pole, Technicolor Creative Studios UK Limited, is also due to file administration while its French outpost has been placed in receivership.
