Demi Moore has more than one trick up her sleeve. On the Cannes Film Festival red carpet, she came to the aid of Milla Jovovich, saving her from a very embarrassing dress accident.
When they attend the Cannes Film Festival, the stars put on their 31: tuxedo, gala dresses, mandatory high heels and elaborate beauty. But a dress accident sometimes happened quickly and some became unforgettable. Milla Jovovich came very close to the dress accident drama in 1997. Come to present the film by Luc Besson the 5th Elementthe young actress was accompanied by the director who was also her companion, her co-star Bruce Willis and his wife Demi Moore, as well as Chris Tucker. The interpreter of Leeloo Dallas had opted for a very daring creation by John Galliano, a gold metal dress made of joined chains barely covering her breasts. This outfit has since become iconic, like Madonna’s corset with pointed breasts or Bella Hadid’s metal tree dress. Unfortunately, as she was about to strike a pose in front of the pack of photographers gathered in front of the Palais des Festivals, her dress started to come off.
Demi Moore thankfully came to the rescue as Milla Jovovich confided in an interview with our colleagues from The Hollywood Reporter. “I came close to disaster, but luckily Demi reacted super fast. Miraculously, she had in her bag a mini sewing kit that she had picked up at the hotel. Luc, Bruce, Chris and other people in our group formed a kind of screen around me. And Demi sewed my dress up in a jiffy so it would fit on me. I will never be able to thank Demi enough for his responsiveness and tact..”

Cannes’ Memorable Dress Accidents
A gust of wind that reveals panties, a strap that falls and reveals a nipple, a material with unexpected transparency, or even a seam that comes undone are among the most recurring nightmares for celebrities who are about to climb the stairs. And some have experienced it. On the Cannes Film Festival red carpet, dress accidents happen every year. They are more or less well experienced by the stars concerned. Sophie Marceau, who had several dress accidents, for example, had a lot of fun after the fact. Year after year, accidents keep happening. The proof, last year in 2022 Lady Victoria Hervey was a victim. This will not prevent celebrities from opting in 2023 for sometimes very risky dresses.
