The Marchioness of Bath, Emma Thynn, has shared her diary of the 79th Cannes Film Festival, where she mingled with A-list stars and attended glamorous events. She described the festival as 'absolute chaos' but embraced the energy, starting each day with a run down the Croisette.
Her first event was the Vanity Fair lunch at the Carlton hotel, where she sat next to actor Emmett J Scanlan and invited him to visit Longleat. Other guests included Gillian Anderson, Lucas Bravo, and Alex Pettyfer. She wore a yellow dress by By Keara, which was dramatically blown by the Mistral wind.
For the opening night, she donned a black silk and chiffon gown and arrived with Chopard president Caroline Scheufele. She saw Demi Moore, Sir Peter Jackson, and Jane Fonda on the red carpet. At a Chopard ladies' dinner, she enjoyed a performance by Carla Bruni, who sang a cover of Willie Nelson's 'Crazy'.
Thynn also attended the Burberry party in Antibes, where she met the cast of 'The White Lotus' and invited them to Longleat. She flew back to the UK mid-festival for family time, including cucumber sandwiches with Freddie and Sophie Windsor. Returning to Cannes, she attended the amfAR event, chatting with Ed Westwick and Ayda Field Williams, and watching Lizzo perform.
