IT’LL BE ALL WHITE ON THE NIGHT
CANNES: After encountering a topless protester on her first day at the Cannes film festival last week, superstar Tilda Swinton stepped back onto the red carpet on the weekend stunning the crowd in an all white shirt dress.
Swinton has teamed up with Australian director George Miller for the romantic fantasy film Three Thousand Years of Longing, whose premiere at Cannes last Friday was interrupted by a woman smeared in blood-red paint protesting sexual violence in Ukraine.
Miller’s film, in which Swinton co-stars with Idris Elba, about an academic who lets a genie out of the bottle that she brought home from an Istanbul bazaar, is tipped by some critics to become a cult movie.
But after its premiere was disrupted, Swinton returned to the red carpet the following day with a minimal white look for the screening of low-key Romanian psychodrama RMN.
Swinton, 61, turned up with her trademark platinum blonde hair cut short with a matching pair of white heels, while bright red lipstick was the only colour to break up the austere look.
