The Cannes Film Festival is a platform for glamour and artistic expression, but it has also become a stage for celebrities to make powerful political statements. From Bella Hadid’s traditional keffiyeh scarf dress to Cate Blanchett’s dress that echoed the colors of the Palestinian flag, celebrities are using their visibility to raise awareness about important issues. While some may argue that this form of activism is a facile substitute for real protest, it is undeniable that it can generate significant attention and inspire others to take action.
