Demi Moore made her first Cannes Film Festival appearance in 27 years, wearing a unique silver mermaid gown. People criticized the unusual design of her gown and the styling of her hair. Still, her fans praised her bold fashion choices that made her stand out.

Demi Moore made a stunning return to the Cannes Film Festival, marking her first appearance at the prestigious event in 27 years. She attended "The Substance" premiere in a gorgeous silver mermaid gown.

The gown had an arrowed segment popping straight out on her left side and was styled with silver and diamond earrings and a necklace. The statement dress also featured a neckline that showed a bit of her cleavage.

Demi Moore posed on the red carpet with a smile on her face, showcasing her famous cheekbones. The actress's photos in this outfit were shared online stirring a heated discussion, primarily centered around her bold fashion choices.

Some comments focused on the gown's unusual design, including the exaggerated appendage that many fans found puzzling. One critic quipped, "She’s good but what in gods name is that appendage shooting out of her dress."

Another user wondered why Moore went for that dress remarking, "Demi can poke an eye out with that dress!" Furthermore, an unimpressed fan mocked the dress, noting that its unique design seemed to be saying, "The exit is that way 👉🏻." Another chimed in bluntly, "Weird dress!"

In addition to her striking gown, Moore's long hair also drew significant attention, with some fans saying that her hairstyle was too extravagant for her age.

"Her hair is too much," one person noted, while another concurred, "Yes agreed... 👍 needs to be put up in a bun... not appropriate for her age." A user who shared similar views wrote, "That hair is weird."

Another person loved Moore's look but was also against her hairstyle, saying, "Demi Moore is like Halle Berry in that they both look beautiful and more youthful with short hair, in my opinion her hair is wayyy too long it does not suit her at all 🥰😍."

Still, the reaction to Moore's appearance wasn't solely negative. Several fans defended her look, expressing admiration for her fearless approach to fashion.

"That’s a movie star!!! ⭐️!!!" one admirer declared. Others echoed similar sentiments, calling her "Gorgeous❤️❤️" and "Stunning 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️."

Moore has showcased several splendid looks at this year's Cannes Film Festival. On May 17, 2024, at the premiere of "Kinds of Kindness," she dazzled in a stunning red beaded Giorgio Armani Privé gown adorned with floral details.

The floor-length column dress featured a v-neckline and intricate beaded embellishments. She complemented the gown with statement Chopard earrings that echoed the pattern of the dress.

Her signature long, dark hair cascaded to her waist, adding an extra touch of drama and glamour to the ensemble. Later in the evening of the same day, Moore changed into another magnificent gown.

Moore stunned in a turquoise sequin Balenciaga gown, featuring unique cone-like details at the hips. She accessorized the ensemble with shimmering Chopard jewels.

Her other jewelry was a Haute Joaillerie Collection necklace adorned with carats of tourmaline and carats of diamonds set in white gold.

The 61-year-old was always a stunner at the festival. In 1997, the last time the actress was at the Cannes Film Festival before 2024, she wore a beautiful purple dress with a one-hand exaggerated sleeve.

Moore kept her hair short then but still looked gorgeous in the gown that was styled with dangle earrings, a drop necklace, and matching brown shoes and purse.

Moore's return to Cannes has reaffirmed her willingness to embrace unique and daring fashion choices. Her commitment to thinking outside the box with her outfits often manages to spark her fans' mixed reactions.

The 2024 Met Gala was another red carpet that Moore graced looking dazzling. As previously reported, Moore stepped out and delivered a jaw-dropping interpretation of the "Garden of Time" theme in a cute dress.

The movie star wore a beautiful black Harris Reed gown that made a statement with a structured heart-shaped element with spikes emerging from it. It was detailed with pink floral accents that made her look like a swan.

For the event, Demi was categorized as one of the best dressed. People loved her structured gown and the statement diamond neckpiece, which almost matched the shape and movement of the flowers on the dress.

“Demi steals the show!” remarked a commenter. “Favorite look so far,” added another. “Best dressed!!! Beautiful,” gushed a netizen. The actress nailed it with this look as she got several positive comments praising how great it looked, including it matching the theme.
