I’ve hung out on many red carpets in my time as Entertainment Correspondent and host of Xpose with TV3 for twelve years, but my latest trip to the Cannes Film Festival was a different experience altogether.
This time I wasn’t behind a barrier with the international media vying for a few seconds with the world’s biggest movie stars to air on TV3 later that day. This time I was invited as a guest by my friends: film maker and director Ruth Meehan and her sister, fashion designer, Deborah Veale.
Last year Ruth released her debut feature film The Bright Side to great aplomb in Irish cinemas. This May it launched on Amazon Prime, which happened to coincide with Le Festival du Cannes. I didn’t need much persuasion to join this intrepid duo. As a lover and supporter of all things fashion, film and culture, the idea of the red carpet at Cannes was too tempting to resist.
But what to wear? When it comes to the Cannes Film Festival, there is no such thing as being overdressed and lucky for me, I happened to arrive with my own personal designer. Deborah’s evening wear, which might leave me slightly overdressed of an evening in Monkstown, fitted seamlessly into the movie set that is Cannes.
