PARIS — The Cannes Film Festival has completed its competition jury, adding some glam names to its lineup.

Demi Moore and Ruth Negga will join jury president Park Chan-wook for two weeks of cinema — not to mention red carpet moments.

Moore appeared in Coralie Fargeat’s “The Substance,” which premiered in competition at Cannes in 2024 and went on to garner recognition on the awards circuit.

She wore Giorgio Armani to the Oscars in 2025 when she was nominated for best actress, and sported Gucci to the same ceremony as a presenter earlier this year.
