“Would it be possible then?” : Carla Bruni gives a singing tour on the heights of Cannes

On May 13, as the 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival began, Carla Bruni captured attention during a particularly exclusive evening. She was the guest of honor at the very first Ladies’ Dinner, a dinner organized by Chopard at the legendary Hôtel Martinez. In a cozy and refined atmosphere, imagined by Caroline Scheufele, president and artistic director of the jewelry house, the singer delivered an intimate concert in front of an audience of carefully selected guests.

On the rooftops of Cannes, Carla Bruni wonderfully embodied the spirit of this evening celebrating influential women in cinema and fashion. She performed her famous song with emotion Someone told mepublished in 2002, offering its listeners, including Elsa Zylberstein, Estelle Lefébure and Kelly Rutherford, a moment suspended in time. During the evening, another artist also took her place on stage and more precisely behind her turntables: the singer and DJ Claire Laffut.

The wife of the former President of the Republic, a regular at Chopard events, has maintained a close link with the Swiss brand for several years. Last year, during the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, she had already enchanted the Chopard Trophy award ceremony, intended to highlight young talents in international cinema. This prize, which in twenty years has become an essential springboard for promising actors, allows them to gain visibility and make a place for themselves in the cinematic world.

However, behind the brightness of the flashes and the magic of the lights, the shadow of Nicolas Sarkozy’s legal news hovered in the background. While the former president must respond to an appeal in the context of the alleged “Libyan financing” affair, Carla Bruni, in Cannes, displayed an unalterable calm and assurance.
