Iris Mittenaere shone on the steps of the Cannes Film Festival. However, his presence is not unanimous. Criticized, Miss France 2016 wanted to dot the i’s, revealing the reasons for her arrival.
A presence that makes people talk. Since May 16, the Croisette has been in turmoil. Stars from around the world have gathered in Cannes for its famous international film festival. Natalie Portman, Leonardo DiCaprio, Harrison Ford, Marion Cotillard, Virginie Efira… The red carpet at the Palais des Festivals is a dream come true. However, some presences do not seem to be unanimous. This is the case, for example, ofIris Mittenaere who wanted to respond to her detractors. Miss France 2016 and Miss Universe 2016 was invited to climb the steps twice. The premiere was on May 17 for the film – whose selection created controversy – The return by Catherine Corsini. Iris Mittenaere had then opted for a long asymmetrical white dress revealing her slender legs and her belly, while her fiancé Diego El Glaoui had played simplicity with a suit. The second climb of the steps of Iris Mittenaere was the next day, May 18, for the screening of the new part ofIndianaJones and during which she wore a splendid purple princess dress.
An invitation which made the happiness of the young woman of 30 years who shone. But his happiness has been clouded somewhat by heavy criticism subscribers under an Instagram post relating to the Cannes Film Festival. In question ? The fact that it does not come from the world of cinema. His presence would therefore not be legitimate. “In the world of culture and cinema, others deserve to be even more in the light, a sad world that is becoming more and more superficial. Culture pulls people up, luxury influencers pull underprivileged people down…“, thus lamented a woman. Iris Mittenaere therefore wanted to put the dots on the i’s by justifying his visit to Cannes.
Iris Mittenaere justifies her presence at the Cannes Film Festival
“The cinema is sorely lacking in funding because people are going to theaters less and less. Public figures have always come to highlight this event and the cinema (such as top models Bella Hadid, etc.), to invite people to discover new films, to move around theaters in this way, and to allow the cinema to live“, estimated the beauty queen, during an Instagram story. Above all, her presence would represent a financial interest. “The festival also needs financial partners to live, and today, these partners need to be put forward thanks to the influencers or celebrities who tread the carpet. (…) And in 2023, influencers as you say, have the power to present it to millions of people in a fraction of a second. That’s why they call on them“, she concluded. This debate has been stirring the Web for several years. Nevertheless, critics of influencers may not be convinced by these explanations.
