Demi Moore Ditches Gowns for Chic Co-Ord at Cannes

Seven days of back-to-back events continued on Thursday as  attended her third event of a very busy night at the 79th . 

The Hollywood star has enjoyed a frenetic week of star-studded screenings and late night parties as the French Riviera once more plays host to this annual celebration of film. 

And she was back in front of the cameras as coffee brand Nespresso partnered with Brut for a celebrity gathering at La Plage Nespresso, an immersive café and beach club staged exclusively for the Cannes Film Festival.

Making her way inside the purpose built venue on Thursday evening, Demi, 63, caught the eye in a stylish black co-ord and matching slingback heels as she greeted onlookers. 

Accessorising tastefully, the celebrated actress wore sparkling chandelier earrings and a simple chain bracelet, while her hair was conventionally styled with a centre parting. 

The event gave Demi another opportunity to walk the Croisette, shortly after walking the same landmark for the premiere of Fatherland. 

The actress showed off her slender physique in a distinctive red evening gown with a dramatic collar as she celebrated the launch of director Paweł Pawlikowski's latest movie. 

She was joined by visiting stars Sara Sampaio, Diane Kruger and Seth Rogen for the German language film's debut screening - but the credits were still rolling as she made her way into her first post-screening event of the night. 

Accompanied by Oscar-winning actor Rami Malek, Demi commanded attention in a purple sequin gown while . 

The Hollywood star beamed as she posed with the Bohemian Rhapsody actor, 45, at the exclusive dinner, held at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc.

Demi has joined Hamnet director Chloé Zhao and actor Stellan Skarsgård on the jury for this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Organisers unveiled the nine-member jury that will deliberate on the films in competition at the annual French Riviera festival in May.

As previously announced, South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook is president of the jury.

Along with him, Moore, Zhao and Skarsgård, the jurors are: Irish-Ethiopian actor Ruth Negga, Belgian director and screenwriter Laura Wandel, Chilean director and screenwriter Diego Céspedes, Ivorian American actor Isaach De Bankolé and Scottish screenwriter Paul Laverty.

Speaking to the Daily Mail at the opening press conference, Demi said she felt 'tremendously honoured to be here'.

'It's such a beautiful experience and one just to be surrounded by cinema and the love of cinema, and the joy of diving in and being surrounded by those who share that is just – I just felt like a joy.'

'And who can complain about the beautiful view of this incredible place? But yes, I just feel tremendously honoured and I'm super excited. I really – I feel like a little kid getting to play a grown-up.

'You know, prior I had only ever attended the Cannes Film Festival once, and that was only as someone's plus one. And so to be sitting here today, I am really, really tremendously honoured.'

Demi also gave her thoughts on AI in the movie industry, insisting we should embrace new technology.

'I always feel that againstness breeds againstness. AI is here, and so to fight it is a battle that we will lose.

'So to find ways in which we can work with it, I think is a more valuable path to take.

'The truth is, there really isn't anything to fear because what it can never replace is what true art comes from, which is not the physical.

'It comes from the soul. It comes from the spirit of each and every one of us sitting here, to each and every one of us that creates every day.'
