Marilyn - Chopard Diamonds - Swarovski Crystals
Marilyn Monroe is the face of the festival, with an iconic image of her blowing out a candle from a birthday cake adorning the festival's promotional material for it's 65th anniversary.
During the 12-day festival, May 16-27, Chopard, the event's sponsor, is planning an exhibition of 25 unpublished photographs of the star that sang about diamonds being a girl's best friend. There could hardly be a more glamorous plot: at the opening ceremony of this year's Cannes Film Festival , a starlet will debut a jewelled tribute to actress Marilyn Monroe created by Chopard...
