Following the major Latin music triumph at Coachella this year, we're even more excited to see that the Cannes Film Festival in the French Riviera is following suit with a host of Latinx talent hitting the red carpet. With the movie extravaganza officially kicking off on Wednesday, we've already seen stars like Eva Longoria and Selena Gomez making their arrivals, while Zoe Saldana is also set to make a splash, along with Spanish stars Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz. To top it all off, red hot Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu is serving as the Festival's Jury President.

 

As zombie movie The Dead Don't Die starring Selena, Adam Driver and Chloe Sevigny, opens the film fest on Wednesday night, scroll through to take a look at the stars, from new arrivals' airport style to the kickoff photo calls, as the 2019 Cannes Film Festival begins.

 

Hours before the first red carpet, Cannes Jury President and Oscar-winning filmaker Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu was joined by the jury, including actress Elle Fanning, pictured, for a sun-kissed photocall on the French coast.
