Photographer Saskia Lawaks Takes V Inside Cannes 2021

Check out the second edition of the photographer’s 2021 Cannes photo diary with Timothée Chalamet, Rosamund Pike, Mj Rodriguez, and more.

The 74th edition of the Cannes Festival wrapped up on Saturday, after a couple of weeks filled with some of the most anticipated film releases, great looks, and breezy encounters. Italian director was awarded an Honorary Palme d’Or at the Closing Ceremony, joining Jodie Foster, whose career had been celebrated with the prize at the Opening Ceremony. 

Sharon Stone presented this year’s coveted Palme d’Or to Julia Ducournau’s Titane – making the director only the second woman to win the award in 74 years. Out of 24 films, only four female-directed productions were selected for Competition this year.  

Photographer Saskia Lawaks took V inside Cannes once again for an exclusive photo diary featuring casual (well, as casual as the gala event can be) shots of Timothée Chalamet, Mj Rodriguez, Maria Bakalova, Isabelle Huppert, Rosamund Pike, and many more. Take a look below:
