Demi Moore's Showstopping Look
Demi showcased her incredible figure in an off-the-shoulder ruched gown featuring long sleeves and a dramatic long train.

Demi Moore Joins Cannes Jury

As previously announced, South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook is president of the jury.
Along with Park, Moore, Zhao, and Skarsgård, the jurors are: Irish-Ethiopian actor Ruth Negga, Belgian director and screenwriter Laura Wandel, Chilean director and screenwriter Diego Céspedes, Ivorian American actor Isaach De Bankolé, and Scottish screenwriter Paul Laverty.
Demi's Thoughts on the Honour and AI
Speaking to the Daily Mail at the opening press conference, Demi said she felt 'tremendously honoured to be here.' She added, 'It's such a beautiful experience and one just to be surrounded by cinema and the love of cinema, and the joy of diving in and being surrounded by those who share that is just – I just felt like a joy.'
She also commented on AI in the movie industry, insisting we should embrace new technology. 'I always feel that againstness breeds againstness. AI is here, and so to fight it is a battle that we will lose. So to find ways in which we can work with it, I think is a more valuable path to take. The truth is, there really isn't anything to fear because what it can never replace is what true art comes from, which is not the physical. It comes from the soul. It comes from the spirit of each and every one of us sitting here, to each and every one of us that creates every day.'
