At 61, Demi Moore Stuns At Cannes Film Festival Red Carpet Premiere Of Her Film ‘The Substance’

The star-studded world premiere of The Substance brought A-list glamour to the 77th Cannes Film Festival on Saturday night. Leading the red carpet charge were acting legends Demi Moore and Dennis Quaid, joined by rising talents Margaret Qualley and director Coralie Fargeat. 

All eyes were on Moore, 61, who defied age in a champagne Schiaparelli gown. The ageless beauty exuded confidence as she posed fiercely for photographers on the famed Palais des Festivals red carpet. 

Moore’s co-star Quaid, 69, looked dapper in a classic tuxedo. The veteran actor flashed his trademark grin alongside his younger on-screen love interest, the 28-year-old Qualley. 

Qualley, the daughter of Andie MacDowell, has been earning raves for her breakout performance in the psychological thriller. She stunned in a pretty white and pink dress with finely embroidered designs and feathers along the bottom edge.

French director Fargeat, who turned heads in a pale pink dress, rounded out the film’s glamorous quartet. 

The Substance has generated buzzworthy reviews from Cannes for its provocative exploration of gender dynamics and female desire. The erotic drama centers on a passionate love triangle that sparks obsession.

The film represents a departure for Moore, best known for her iconic roles in projects like Ghost and G.I. Jane. It marks her first leading role in several years as she aims to revive her career. 

With its prestigious Cannes launch pad, The Substance is a must-see in the fall awards season movie calendar. The film hits theaters in September.

Cannes Film Festival 2024 began on May 14 and will conclude on May 25. 

In an exclusive interview at the South By Southwest 2023 premiere of his film The Long Game in Austin, Texas, Quaid revealed to uInterview what it’s like working on a golfing movie as a golfer. 

“I was just really enjoying being on the golf course every day because I play golf,” he began. “But what I’ve found out, is you really don’t get to play much golf when you’re doing a golf movie. I play only once a day. But even for anybody who doesn’t play golf, it’s not a golf movie, like in a sports movie, it can’t be about the sport, it’s like The Rookie. It was not about baseball it was about second chances and that’s something everybody can relate to.”
