Red has photographed many celebrities on the Cannes Film Festival’s Red Carpet—and now it’s time to add your picture to the collection! Cannes has hosted the world’s premiere film festival for nearly 80 years, and the Red Carpet is the place for actors, models and influencers to make a fashion statement. For one unforgettable moment, stars will align on the French Riviera, and you’ll be one of them.

The winning bidders will enjoy three nights at the legendary Hôtel Martinez, ideally located on Cannes’ Promenade de la Croisette. Since 1929, the Martinez has embodied the Côte d’Azur’s spirit, with Art Deco elegance, a luxury spa, private garden and the Michelin-starred La Palme d’Or. A favorite during the Festival, it has welcomed icons from Leonardo DiCaprio and Nicole Kidman to Madonna and Elton John.

While in Cannes you’ll be the guest of Chopard, one of the leading names in the luxury Swiss watch and jewelry industry. Since 1860, the company has been renowned for its creativity, state-of-the-art technology and the virtuosity of their artisans. The romance between Chopard and the Red Carpet began in 1998, when they became Official Partner of the Cannes Film Festival. The Red Carpet Collection, their annual selection of exceptional, one-of-a-kind creations designed by Artistic Director Caroline Scheufele, is unveiled each year at the Festival. The winning bidders will receive a private viewing of the 2026 Collection, along with the opportunity to purchase a handcrafted masterpiece. Last year’s repertoire included a watch encircled by openwork diamond lace and crowned with a portrait-cut diamond in place of the crystal; a necklace adorned with sculpted rose gold motifs, diamonds and pink sapphires, inspired by the lace collars of 17th-century court costumes and recalling the links between couture and jewelry; and Animal World, a whimsical take on species from every continent, represented in the form of bracelets, necklaces, brooches, earrings and rings.

Your experience in Cannes will be filled with breathtaking moments. You’ll visit the Chopard Rooftop at the Martinez, a luxurious setting that redefines the concept of hospitality and expresses the brand’s essence. You’ll attend the exclusive Chopard Party, a favorite among global icons, Hollywood elites and fashion royalty. Don’t be surprised if there’s a surprise set performed by Enrique Iglesias, Bruno Mars or Mariah Carey.

All these experiences will prepare you for the peak of glitter and glamour: your appearance on the Red Carpet. You’ll be professionally photographed, and rest assured, you’ll create quite a buzz (who is that mystery couple, exactly?). It’s a memory you’ll cherish for the rest of your life.

Red urges you to bid generously and often for this remarkable lot. While you rub elbows with celebrities, our underserved children will be receiving a better and healthier future.
