Words: Gentleman's Journal
May 16th was the night of Chopard’s annual grand soirée – one of the most sought-after and eagerly awaited events of the Cannes Film Festival fortnight – and for good reason. Guests were this year treated to an incredible, intimate concert by Diana Ross who performed all of her greatest hits, as well as an exclusive DJ set by Mark Ronson, all set amid a unique jungle themed marquee set up especially for the occasion at Port Canto on the Croisette.
The room was filled with colourful and tropical flora and fauna and saw models wearing Chopard’s latest Red Carpet creations and vividly coloured gowns by Elie Saab, who welcomed guests while posing in tableaux vivants.
Among the guests were Kate Moss, Kendall Jenner, Poppy Delevingne, Sonam Kapoor, Pixit Lott, Oliver Cheshire, Araya Hargate, Adriana Lima, Petra Nemvova, Chris Pitanguy, Lottie Moss, Olivier Martinez, Joséphine de la Baume, Kristina Bazan and Aymeline Valade to name a few.
The attendees also enjoyed Boizel Champagne as well as Grey Goose cocktails. To keep everyone dancing until the break of dawn, Chopard enlisted the talents of DJ Nathalie Duchêne, resident DJ at the Nuba and Silencio in Paris, and famous DJ Mark Ronson.
