Catherine Deneuve and Chiara Mastroianni: their most beautiful photos on the red carpet

Mother and daughter reunited on the Croisette. From May 16 to 27, 2023, the 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival is held. For the occasion, the actress Chiara Mastroianni, daughter of Catherine Deneuve and Marcello Mastroianni, was appointed to be the mistress of ceremonies. “I was surprised to be offered this role, me the novice who has never presented anything. But I did not hesitate to accept”, she declared to the Journal des Femmes. Coincidence or not, his famous mother illustrates, this year, the poster of the legendary film festival. “Anyway, she told me she was happy that I was doing the ceremony,” she said of her mother.

A sublime photo of Catherine Deneuve that Chiara Mastroianni had never seen before, as she had assured at the microphone of BFM TV. “I find her sublime,” she explained and added, “I find her beautiful. She looks down. It’s like she’s welcoming people coming up” [the steps]. Already in 2014, the father of the actress had been chosen to embody the face of the Cannes Film Festival.

It can be difficult to manage the press when you have one of the biggest stars of French cinema as your mother. This was explained by Chiara Mastroianni during an interview with our colleagues from Version Femina. “This desire to be an actress was released late, because I think I was afraid of disappointing my mother, who saw me rather doing long studies to do a ‘normal’ job,” she added.

A passion for cinema that she inherited from her “great cinephile” mother. “Even today, she sees at least two films a week in theaters. I remember her incredible video library and the works she made me discover”.

On May 16, 2023, the two actresses climbed the famous steps of the Cannes Film Festival together. On this occasion, Planet invites you to discover their most beautiful mother/daughter photos.
