Life
The 2025 Cannes Film Festival has delivered its usual mix of glamour and gravity, but this year, some of the most memorable moments came from the festival’s playful, unexpected side. From A-list snack breaks to romantic red-carpet reunions—and even a symbolic dove release—here are the candid highlights that added a touch of levity to the prestigious event.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s Caviar Craving
Leonardo DiCaprio proved he’s just like us—when “us” have a taste for luxury. The Oscar winner was spotted indulging in a box of Dubai’s viral caviar nuggets from Beau Restaurant, which recently opened a Cannes outpost. The bite-sized delicacies, already a social media sensation, seemed to be a hit with DiCaprio, who enjoyed them between premieres.

Scarlett Johansson’s Mission
Scarlett Johansson, turned heads not just for her lavender Prada silk chiffon gown but for her focus on reaching husband Colin Jost. Photographers captured her weaving through guests and security, while Jost—dapper in a classic tux—looked pleasantly surprised before breaking into a warm smile. The couple shared a quiet, joyful moment as they continued down the carpet hand in hand.
A Dove Takes Flight
French artist and activist Guila Clara Kessous, this year’s Women Empowerment Award honoree, made an unforgettable statement at the Dossier 137 premiere. Instead of a traditional plus-one, she brought a white dove, releasing it mid-carpet in a striking symbol of peace and freedom. The spontaneous moment left onlookers charmed—and slightly startled—as the bird soared above the festival’s glittering crowd.
While Cannes is renowned for its cinematic prestige, it’s these spontaneous, human moments that often linger longest in memory. Whether it’s a snack break, a romantic reunion, or an artistic gesture, the festival’s lighter side shines just as bright.
