Demi Moore criticized for overacting on the Cannes red carpet.

TPO - Returning to the Cannes Film Festival 2026 red carpet, Demi Moore stood out in a voluminous princess dress. However, viewers criticized her for being over-the-top and choosing an outfit inappropriate for her age.

On the evening of May 16th (local time), the red carpet of the 79th Cannes Film Festival continued to welcome international stars to the premiere of new films. One of the films screened that day was Paper Tiger, an American crime film directed by James Gray.

After a day's absence, Demi Moore returned to the Cannes red carpet and easily became the center of attention. She wore a flowing, princess-style bright pink dress, accented with a huge bow at the chest. The Hollywood star paired the outfit with pink bow-adorned high heels and large diamond earrings.

Despite standing out on the red carpet, Demi's new outfit didn't win over the majority of viewers. Many criticized the actress, born in 1962, for being over-the-top. Netizens commented: "Demi looks ridiculous. She should have chosen something more age-appropriate. It's too over-the-top," "A Disney princess but a bit too old for the role. Not elegant at all, but maybe she got what she wanted - lots of photos," "I think it's too flashy for Cannes," "It's like the dress is 'dressing' her," "The bow is silly, but the color is nice," "That dress is over-the-top. She's trying too hard to look younger"... Photo: WireImage/Shutterstock.

While Demi received criticism, Cate Blanchett garnered much praise for her simple yet elegant look, which was appropriate for her age.
