Last year it was Cheryl Cole and de Grisogono, but this year, Duran Duran rocked the audience at a private party for Belvedere Red at the Festival de Cannes last night.
The vodka brand is launching a Product Red version of its vodka and asked the band to perform on the eve of its All You Need Is Now world tour.
Guests at the VIP Room at the Cannes Film Festival helped Belvedere and Duran Duran raise awareness for HIV, Aids, tuberculosis and malaria.
VIPs Vanessa Hudgens, Rosario Dawson, Jude Law, John Stephen, Quincy Jones, Victoria Silvstedt, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Jean Roch, Keith Allen, Hofit Gavan, inter alia, were hosted by Product Red’s Seb Bishop and Belvedere president Charles Gibb.
Meanwhile, Montblanc and the Weinstein Company hosted a more discreet party at the Martinez Hotel at Cannes, with Harvey Weinstein as host, and Sarah Jessica Parker, Tang Wei and Adrien Brody present. Weinstein secured distribution rights for The Iron Lady, with Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher, Michel Hazanavicius’s The Artist, and Peter Ho-Sun Chan’s Wu Xia.
