Cannes stood up for Daniel Brühl, as his new Disney+ show “Becoming Karl Lagerfeld” earned a 3-minute standing ovation on Sunday.
Premiering out of competition, it captures the late German designer before morphing into the instantly recognizable figure that took pop culture by storm. And, courted by young Jacques de Bascher (Théodore Pellerin), finally opening up for love.
Local viewers enjoyed the spectacle, laughing at Lagerfeld’s awkwardness or at Yves Saint Laurent’s (Arnaud Valois) clumsy attempts at romancing de Bascher. The verdict? A “fun” and “entertaining” new show, declared Canneseries audience members, happy to share their enthusiasm with Variety even despite the language barrier: “C’est genial!”
The screening, which started with a joyful fashion show similar to Lagerfeld’s collection for Chloé in the 1970s – spotlighted in the first episode – attracted just about every celebrity in town. Including “Beverly Hills, 90210” alumni Jason Priestley and “Riverdale’s” Vanessa Morgan,...

Yet some older entertainers weren’t ready to cede the spotlight in the early 1960s. That included actor Marlene Dietrich. She shared a bill with and tried to grab the spotlight from The Beatles, but Ringo found the upside of sharing a bill with her.

Marlene Dietrich’s iconic Van Cleef & Arpels ruby and diamond Jarretière bracelet sold at a Christie’s sale, titled “The Magnificent Jewels of Anne Eisenhower,” in New York on June 7 for $4.5 million.
The actress commissioned the bracelet from the jeweler in 1937 and wore it to the 1951 Academy Awards and in Alfred Hitchcock’s film Stage Fight. The auction totaled $11.5 million and featured several other stunning pieces of jewelry from Tiffany & Co. and Cartier. Dietrich’s bracelet sold for the highest price.
“This bracelet is legendary in a lot of ways,” said Claibourne Poindexter, vp and jewelry specialist at Christie’s, when the auction was first announced in March. “It was one of [Dietrich’s] favorite pieces of jewelry. It’s bold. It’s very large in scale and has a wonderful curvature. She wore it so beautifully in Stage Fright, an Alfred Hitchcock film from 1950, and you get this appreciation for how sculptural the design is.

Tarantino has been very open about his feelings towards certain leading ladies. He’s often gushed about how attractive he finds his frequent collaborator Uma Thurman, for instance. In a resurfaced interview with Time, Tarantino believed that there were few actors who could compare with his Kill Bill star.
“People talk about beautiful actresses,” Tarantino said. “Like Cameron Diaz, she’s a beautiful girl. But I went to high school with three girls who look like Cameron Diaz. Uma Thurman is a different species. She’s up there with Garbo and Dietrich in goddess territory.”
Likewise, when Elle asked him in 2009 what...

A ruby-and-diamond bracelet that legendary star Marlene Dietrich commissioned from Van Cleef & Arpels in 1937 and wore to the Academy Awards in 1951 is headed to the auction block. It will be offered as part of Christie’s upcoming June 7 sale in New York, titled “The Magnificent Jewels of Anne Eisenhower.”

Prime Video has just premiered its highly anticipated series Daisy Jones & The Six, and fans have already spotted a subtle Easter egg relating to Elvis Presley.
The streamer’s adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s best-selling 2019 novel stars Presley’s granddaughter Riley Keough as eclectic musician Daisy Jones.
Set in the Seventies, the 10-episode miniseries uncovers the truth behind the downfall of the fictional rock band Daisy Jones & The Six.

“Oh Wow This Is Genius,” one person said. A second commented: “Oh so they want to cause me emotional damage.
