From the moment they spotted each other on the 77th Festival de Cannes red carpet, actors Margaret Qualley and Hunter Schafer couldn’t control their excitement. Laughing, dancing and quite literally beaming together, the Kinds Of Kindness co-stars and best friends were a picture of all the nice things you’d hope a friendship to be.
Qualley, 29, wore a soft pink tulle gown plucked from Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2024 haute couture collection. Its delicate beading held in place intricate gathering at its bodice before descending into layers of tulle at its bottom, the latter dramatically catching the wind on the breezy Friday evening along the Cotê d’Azur.
Comparatively, Schafer, 25 was the blue to Qualley’s pink in a stunning, strapless gown by Armani Privé. Custom made for the Euphoria alum’s first time on a Cannes red carpet, the piece—which looks like reflective liquid—is reportedly inspired by the House’s Spring 2011 couture collection.
The duo joined Kinds Of Kindness co-stars Emma Stone, Joe Alwyn, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Hong Chau and Mamoudou Athie. Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos (who directed Poor Things), Kinds Of Kindness is a “triptych fable” about “a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife, who was missing at sea, has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.”
Look at how sweet Qualley and Schafer are together. This industry is one of the toughest in the world, so how lovely to be able to navigate moviestar fame with a best friend, and have this much fun while you’re doing it.
