International stars of Hollywood and beyond hit the Croisette once again Tuesday to kick off the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival.

“I don’t know if 007 really should be a woman,” Berry responded. “In 2025, it’s nice to say, ‘Oh, she should be a woman.’ But, I don’t really know if I think that’s the right thing to do.” Berry previously played the character Giacinta “Jinx” Johnson in the 2002 film “Die Another Day” alongside Pierce Brosnan as James Bond.

The glitz at the Cannes Film Festival 2025 shows no signs of slowing down. As Day 2 rolled in, the French Riviera once again witnessed global A-listers, and this time, it was a delightful mix of timeless style, daring silhouettes, and a few playful surprises.

The 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival kicked off this Tuesday, and we already had a dress mishap, courtesy of the new dress code rule disallowing nudity and extravagantly large outfits on the red carpet.

Halle Berry, Strong, Alba Rohrwacher, Hong Sangsoo, Payal Kapadia, Carlos Reygadas, Leïla Slimani, and Dieudo Hamadi joined jury president Binoche for the Palais' first press conference of the fest.

Halle Berry had fans buzzing over the weekend after posting a cheeky and flirtatious video with her boyfriend, musician Van Hunt, which caused a fan to reach out to Berry with a bold request. The video, uploaded to her official X (formerly Twitter) account early on Monday (May 12), featured the couple lounging in bed together in Cannes, France.

The "Die Another Day" actress told reporters at the Cannes Film Festival she doesn't know if casting a woman as the next Bond is "the right thing to do."
