Heidi Klum puts on an extravagant display in a dusky pink gown while her daughter Leni, 18, stuns in a sheer black dress as they join Bella Thorne and Kelly Rowland for Cannes Film Festival’s amfAR Gala

Heidi Klum and her daughter Leni put on a breathtaking performance as they graced the star-studded red carpet for the annual amfAR Cinema Against AIDS gala during the 77th Cannes Film Festival on Thursday.

The model put on an extravagant show in a dark pink tulle dress as she posed for photos with her 18-year-old daughter, before planting a sweet kiss on her cheek.

Showing off her incredible figure, Heidi posed up a storm in a stunning pink dress with a voluminous tulle skirt and matching train.

The star caused up a storm with her daughter, who contrasted her mother by donning a daring sheer black dress with dramatic roses to accentuate her slim waist.

It comes just hours after Heidi and Leni showed off their stunning physiques in skimpy bikinis as they romped around on a diving board at the famous Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in France.

Leni is the daughter of Vogue model Heidi and her businessman ex Flavio Briatore, 73.

Leni grew up in Los Angeles while Flavio lived in London, so they didn’t see each other.

TMZ first reported in 2018 that Leni and Flavio had reconnected with the help of her parents. Now it seems like they see each other every now and then.

Also present at the occasion was Bella Thorne, who showed off a glimpse of her underwear through her daring sheer silver dress.

The former Disney star showed off her dazzling cleavage in the plunging dress with a tight white top, which flowed into the semi-sheer silver skirt.

Kelly Rowland brushed off her recent red carpet drama as she attended the glitzy gala, showing off her impressive abs in a sparkling green bralet and matching skirt.

The Destiny’s Child star showed off her stunning figure in the diamond-studded bralet and glittering skirt after she was filmed during a tense dispute with a security guard in Cannes earlier this week.

Every year, the Cannes gala brings a slew of A-listers to the south of France to raise awareness and money for the nonprofit.

Cannes is the world’s largest film festival, first conceived in 1939 as an alternative to the then fascist-influenced Venice Film Festival.

It has been held annually since 1946, except in 1948 and 1950, when it was canceled due to lack of funds.

The festival is known for its carefully selected program of films that achieved Oscar success or launched the careers of directors such as Quentin Tarantino.

Cannes’ top prize is the Palme d’Or, or Palme d’Or, whose previous winners include Taxi Driver, Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction, The Pianist and Parasite.

Jane Campion became the first female director to win the award in 1993 with The Piano, followed by a gap of almost three decades until Julia Ducournau received the award for Titane in 2021.

Last year, Justine Triet became only the third female director to receive the award with Anatomy of a Fall.

There is also an honorary Palme d’Or, awarded in recognition of notable bodies of work, including Harrison Ford, Jane Fonda and Clint Eastwood.

There are two honorees this year: George Lucas of “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones,” and Japanese animation legend Studio Ghibli, the first group to receive the award.

Other awards include the Grand Prix, Jury Prize, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay and Best Short Film.

The Cannes Film Festival officially kicked off on Tuesday evening as celebrities walked the red carpet to the luxurious Grand Theater Lumiere in honor of Hollywood actor Meryl Streep before settling in to watch this year’s opening film, The Second Act.

Almost as prestigious as winning the Palme d’Or, the top prize of the Cannes Film Festival, is being part of the jury that chooses the winner.

Artists from all over the world who have made a name for themselves in their field are chosen to serve on the jury, with one member appointed as jury chairman.

This year’s jury chairman, American director Greta Gerwig, comes to Cannes after the huge success last summer of Barbie.

She is the first female American director to serve as jury president, taking over from the head of the 2023 jury, Triangle of Sadness director and two-time Palme d’Or winner Ruben Ostlund of Sweden.

Lily Gladstone, the breakout star of Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, returns to Cannes after becoming the first Indian woman to be nominated for an Oscar and win a Golden Globe award for her performance.

Turkish photographer, actor and screenwriter Ebru Ceylan, one of the writers of the 2014 Palme d’Or-winning film Winter Sleep, is a familiar face at the festival.

Her first short film, On the Edge, was selected for entry into Cannes in 1998, and she has co-written several main competition films, including About Dry Grasses, Three Monkeys and The Wild Pear Tree.

As one of the few women to have starred in a James Bond film, French actor Eva Green is also on the jury.

She has an eclectic resume with Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven, small-scale projects like Nocebo and TV series Penny Dreadful.

Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona, twelve-time winner of the prestigious Spanish Goya Awards, is on the jury.

He rose to international fame in 2007 with his first feature-length horror film The Orphanage, produced by award-winning Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro.

His latest, the survival drama and Netflix hit “Society of the Snow,” earned the director an Oscar nomination for best international feature film at this year’s ceremony.

After making a name for herself with 2018’s Capernaum, which earned her Golden Globe, BAFTA and Oscar nominations, Lebanese director and screenwriter Nadine Labaki, who has long had ties to Cannes, adds jury member to her list of accolades.

Pierfrancesco Favino, one of Italy’s most famous actors with a parallel Hollywood career, is no stranger to Cannes. He appeared in the competition films The Traitor, directed by Marco Bellocchio, and Mario Martone’s Nostalgia and is now on the jury.
