Cannes 2022: Virginie Efira sublime in a slit tuxedo dress for the closing ceremony

A moment that will mark the spirits. This Saturday, May 28, after twelve days and eleven nights of glitter, an audience of stars, film presentations, red carpets and flashes of photographers, it was time for the closing of the 75th Cannes Film Festival. But before we pack up and all the celebrities go about their business, the closing ceremony of the famous international film festival offered a magnificent moment.

As a good mistress of ceremonies, Virginie Efira launched the evening in a very beautiful way. The appearance of the Belgian actress was enhanced by her outfit: an elegant slit tuxedo dress. Dressed all in black, Virginie Efira, with emotion in her eyes, raised her microphone close to her lips to officially start an awards night that will be memorable for many. “Good evening everyone. Glad to have you back for this closing ceremony. But what exactly ends? What ends? Yes, the Festival packsthe stools at the edge of the red carpet will be unlocked, the jewelry returned, the false eyelashes removed…“, she began.
