Cannes 2026: Gillian Anderson, Eva Longoria, Lena Mahfouf… These celebrities gathered at Lights on Women’s Worth

A few hours before the closing ceremony of the 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, L’Oréal Paris organized one of its events that have become a tradition over the years. Indeed, since 2021, the cosmetics brand has awarded a prize alongside the Cannes Film Festival to reward promising short film directors.

An evening for women in cinema

If two years ago, the actresses Elle Fanning and Kate Winslet had taken on the role of members of the jury, they were succeeded by the actress Viola Davis. This year, it was Gillian Anderson, ambassador of the cosmetics brand, who actively participated in the awarding of the Lights on Women’s Worth prize as a jury. The winner of this ceremony will also be announced this May 23 in Cannes.

This annual distinction has become a real pathway for women into the film industry, supporting their careers. The initiative organized by L’Oréal Paris brought together many female personalities. Back in pictures from this evening’s photocall.

For this evening, a wide range of celebrities attended. On the photocall, French influencer Lena Mahfouf was photographed not far from actress Sofia Carson and Gillian Anderson. Eva Longoria, ambassador of the cosmetics brand, was obviously present during this evening, appearing particularly radiant on the red carpet.

Alongside these very feminine appearances, a couple caused a sensation. Indeed, the actor known for his role in “Gossip Girl”, Ed Westwick, came with his wife Amy Jackson. The couple appeared particularly complicit in the photocall of the L’Oréal evening, exchanging sweet kisses.
