Jennie and Anushka turned heads on the Cannes 2023 red carpet. While Jenny traveled to Cannes to join the cast of The Idol for the premiere, Anushka represented L’Oreal India on the red carpet. Also in the list of top 5 most influential personalities is BTS member V.

According to Lefty and Carla Otto, global brand tracking agencies that track the influence of brands and celebrities at global events, Jenny Sporting Chanel and Anoushka Sporting Prada were the hottest celebrities globally this year at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.

Anushka made her debut in Cannes this year. She stepped out wearing a white sheath dress with a ruffled bodice that resembled a floral design. Anushka opted for an updo hairstyle and kept her makeup and accessories minimal to let the gown take center stage.
