Musicians Who Attended Cannes Film Festival 2023: The Weeknd, Dua Lipa & More

The 76th edition of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival took over the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès from May 16 to 27, where some of the most captivating TV shows and films made their international premieres.

Beyond the actors, directors, producers and more at the event, a number of musical stars also made appearances on the festival’s iconic red carpet. The Weeknd, BLACKPINK‘s Jennie and Troye Sivan all attended The Idol premiere on May 22, as all three star in the HBO show co-created by The Weeknd himself alongside Sam Levinson and Reza Fahim.

Another BLACKPINK member to take on Cannes was Rosé, who attended the premiere of Monster, a drama by Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda that reportedly received a six-minute-long standing ovation from the audience.

Dua Lipa, meanwhile, made her red carpet debut with boyfriend Romain Gavras at the premiere for the film Omar La Fraise (The King of Algiers). “Last night in Cannes with my sweetheart,” Lipa wrote on Instagram alongside snapshots of herself cozying up to Gavras.
