Welcome back to our seventh and final Cannes Film Festival daily diary! I cannot believe we have come to the end of our time here on La Croisette.
Despite the overall exhaustion from the red carpets, parties and celebrity spotting, I have to say I am a little bit heartbroken to be leaving the bright lights of the French Rivera - it has been a trip like no other.
But before I wax lyrical about what an incredible week it has been, we still have so much to catch you up on on the celebrity front - and boy are you in for a treat.
Back to the Cap
Ahead of our red carpets this morning, last night we were invited back to the resplendent Hotel Du Cap Eden Roc for a glamorous party celebrating Tiki Tane Pictures. The evening was punctuated by spectacular food, an even more spectacular view and, of course, a delicious glass of rosé.

And whilst we didn't get a chance to chat with the Yellowstone star over a cocktail looking out at the French Riviera from the comfort of the Cap, we did get to see him at the Palais.
Catching up with Kevin Costner and Demi Moore
Our final day saw both Kevin and Demi make an appearance - both of whom caught up with Emmy on the red carpet as they attended the press conferences for their movies The Substance and Horizon.
“It's wonderful being here with my kids” Kevin told HELLO!. Adding that his standing ovation last night "stunned him". "I wasn’t expecting that," he confessed.

Meanwhile, Demi Moore commented on how having her first-ever film at the festival feels. "Loving Cannes. It's been an amazing experience. My first film in Cannes!" she said.

One last hurrah
Before heading to our last party of the trip, we paid a visit to Palm Beach, home of Nammos Beach Club.
The exclusive entertainment hub is the go-to for a Cannes party with it hosting the opening night soirée this year - and we can see why with its impeccably chic marble interiors and picture-perfect lunch set-up. Upon its completion, it's sure to be one of the biggest hotspots the area has to offer.
It was a rather exclusive glimpse into the ultra-luxe location, as the venue isn't entirely finished, but still, the likes of footballer Mbappe paid them during their first week this week.

After enjoying an exceptional lunch and what felt like the 100th glass of rosé this trip, we headed back to get ready for the Women in Film Cocktail reception at the magnificent Forbes Villa, where we hope to get a final glimpse of the Hollywood stars who have been here this week.
Au revoir for now
I think I speak for both of us when I say we will be leaving a left a little piece of our hearts in Cannes. The trip has certainly exceeded our expectations when it comes to the celebrity appearances, the fashion and of course the parties.
We hope you have enjoyed our coverage, au revior for now, see you next year!
