Cannes Film Festival, not to mention how lively it is this time, what makes people talk about it is the strange costumes of those Internet celebrities. It is said to promote Chinese culture, but it is a bit like a group of demons dancing, and the entire red carpet is about to become a vegetable market.
Let's talk about the unknown Internet celebrity first, she has a short haircut, but she insists on wearing a tassel phoenix crown, which is very inconsistent in itself.
The upper body is an off-the-shoulder beige dress, which looks quite ordinary, but what about the lower body? It turned out to be a duck skirt, this dress looks like a catwalk, I don't know what she thinks, do you really think that this can represent Chinese culture?
The other influencers, many of them claim to be here to promote Chinese culture. But those so-called "cultural costumes" look more like nonsensical creative vents.
Some are wearing red and purple clothes, and they are embroidered with gold dragons and silver phoenixes; Some are wearing heavy metal-style costumes, with a three-foot-high bun on their heads, and they can't bear to look at them directly.
On the red carpet, the performance of the orthodox stars is naturally impeccable, they are either elegant or handsome, which is completely the routine operation of international film festivals.
Tang Yan, she was wearing a mermaid-style dress from Fendi's Spring/Summer 2024 Haute Couture collection, she was simply beautiful, like a real mermaid princess, and even the official photographer gave her a close-up.
Behind this visual feast is a profound discussion of "cultural self-confidence" and "dancing demons". Although the outfits of these influencers have attracted a lot of attention and discussion, they have also sparked a lot of thinking about how to properly present Chinese culture on the international stage.
An Internet celebrity wore a costume called "the emperor's new clothes", with gold shining all over his body, and a dragon pattern was specially added, presumably to highlight the "emperor" temperament.
Instead of highlighting the nobility and elegance it deserves, this design feels overly ostentatious and tacky. But the problem is that his behavior is very out of line, and from time to time he makes exaggerated expressions and movements, which makes people feel that he is ridiculing rather than respecting the art.
