The Best of Cannes

Take in the best nightlife the French Riviera has to offer courtesy of our Cannes roundup.

Vanity Fair Party: Beautiful weather, glamorous company, the Vanity Fair Cannes party at Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc along the French Riviera, brings together the biggest names of the Cannes Film Festival. Past parties have seen the likes of Karl Lagerfeld, Mark Ronson, Cara Delevingne, Kendall Jenner, Will Smith, Jake Gyllenhall, Julianne Moore, Al Gore, Charlotte Casiraghi and many others, all taking in the spectacular views over the infinity pool. 

Eva Longoria Global Gifts: Surrounded by seaside, sunset and celebrities, this is an evening unlike any other. A unique international fundraising gala initiative, the Global Gift Gala brings together the worlds of business, celebrity and philanthropy to raise funds and awareness. Uniting with actress Eva Longoria, the goal is to create a substantial difference in the lives of countless children and women worldwide.

AmFar: A milestone event in the Cannes calendar for more than 25 years, this coveted charitable evening helps raise funds to support the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AmFAR). Since 1993, this star-studded party has raised more than $100 million, thanks to its legendary live auction, which has included a trip to space with Leonardo DiCaprio, a private performance by rock icons Duran Duran, a family portrait sitting with Annie Leibovitz, the opportunity to star in a short film by Karl Lagerfeld, and works from Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst, among many others.

Chopard: One of the most exciting parties within the Cannes calendar is Chopard’s highly coveted Secret Night Party. Last year’s party at the Château de la Croix des Gardes included a surprise performance by world-renowned Latin superstar Enrique Iglesias, and enticed a host of A-list celebrities, including Kendall Jenner, Irina Shayk, Joan Smalls, Marion Cotillard and Julianne Moore.

Naomi Campbell Fashion For Relief: Each year at Cannes, Naomi Campbell corrals her famous friends to join her on the catwalk. From Kate Moss to Heidi Klum, Will.i.am to Gigi Hadid, these famous faces join forces with Campbell to raise awareness and funds for the world’s most urgent humanitarian causes. Furthermore, the show precedes an auction featuring items donated by artists, designers, celebrities and brands. This year’s proceeds enable Save the Children to provide life-saving food, shelter and medical treatment to children around the world, including those who have been affected by the conflict in Syria.
