    The 2025 Cannes Film Festival has delivered its usual mix of glamour and gravity, but this year, some of the most memorable moments came from the festival’s playful, unexpected side. From A-list snack breaks to romantic red-carpet reunions—and even a symbolic dove release—here are the candid highlights that added a touch of levity to the prestigious event.
    Leonardo DiCaprio’s Caviar Craving

    Leonardo DiCaprio proved he’s just like us—when “us” have a taste for luxury. The Oscar winner was spotted indulging in a box of Dubai’s viral caviar nuggets from Beau Restaurant, which recently opened a Cannes outpost. The bite-sized delicacies, already a social media sensation, seemed to be a hit with DiCaprio, who enjoyed them between premieres.

    Scarlett Johansson’s Mission

    Scarlett Johansson, turned heads not just for her lavender Prada silk chiffon gown but for her focus on reaching husband Colin Jost. Photographers captured her weaving through guests and security, while Jost—dapper in a classic tux—looked pleasantly surprised before breaking into a warm smile. The couple shared a quiet, joyful moment as they continued down the carpet hand in hand.
    A Dove Takes Flight

    French artist and activist Guila Clara Kessous, this year’s Women Empowerment Award honoree, made an unforgettable statement at the Dossier 137 premiere. Instead of a traditional plus-one, she brought a white dove, releasing it mid-carpet in a striking symbol of peace and freedom. The spontaneous moment left onlookers charmed—and slightly startled—as the bird soared above the festival’s glittering crowd.
    While Cannes is renowned for its cinematic prestige, it’s these spontaneous, human moments that often linger longest in memory. Whether it’s a snack break, a romantic reunion, or an artistic gesture, the festival’s lighter side shines just as bright.

      As the Cannes Film Festival transforms the French Riviera into a glittering stage for cinema’s elite, another kind of star power takes center stage: its legendary dining scene.
      From the Anatolian dreamscape of Rüya at the Carlton Cannes to the belly-dancing revelry of Salama, and from Zuma’s caviar-laced Japanese delicacies to the Michelin-starred theatrics of La Palme d’Or, Cannes offers a culinary lineup as dazzling as its red carpets. Whether you’re savoring fresh seafood at Fred l’Écailler, indulging in La Petite Maison’s edible centerpieces, or toasting with champagne at La Môme, every meal here feels like a premiere.
      This is where the festival’s magic extends beyond the screen, and onto plates crafted for Hollywood’s most discerning palates.

      When the final credits roll on another Cannes Film Festival, it’s not just the films that linger in memory but also unforgettable dining experiences that define the festival’s glamour. The smoky Wagyu brisket at Rüya, the Moroccan spices of Salama, the cinematic elegance of La Palme d’Or, and the unpretentious brilliance of Fred l’Écailler prove that Cannes’ true artistry isn’t confined to the silver screen. So as the Croisette’s lights dim, let these restaurants take their bow: they’re the unsung stars of the festival, serving up scenes worth savoring long after the curtain falls.
      Bon appétit, and à bientôt!
