During Cannes Film Festival, Chopard presented MIRACLES, an extraordinary evening hosted by Co-President and Artistic Director Caroline Scheufele. Held at La Palestre in Cannes, the circus-themed soirée celebrated imagination, craftsmanship, and spectacle through an immersive experience.
The evening gathered friends and guests of the Maison including Bella Hadid, Chopard Ambassador Jacky Ickx, jury members Demi Moore and Ruth Negga, alongside Sofia Carson, Emmanuelle Béart, Jacqueline Fernandez, Yasmine Sabri, Annabelle Wallis, Vasili Schneider, Salim Kechiouche, Harry Goodwins, Aurélien Muller, Carla Bruni, Cindy Bruna, Johannes Huebl, Olivia Palermo, and Georgina Rodriguez. Chopard Co-President Karl-Friedrich Scheufele attended with Christine Scheufele and Karl-Fritz Scheufele for one of the festival’s most talked-about evenings.
The night opened beneath a dramatic big top with a cocktail reception inspired by the magic and nostalgia of the circus. Harlequin motifs, plush seating, and rich orchid tones transformed the setting into a dreamlike environment designed to evoke surprise and wonder.
Guests were then invited to a runway presentation featuring Caroline’s Couture alongside the Maison’s 2026 Red Carpet Haute Joaillerie collection, MIRACLES. The 79-piece collection, created in honour of the festival’s 79-year history, included striking clown-inspired brooches set with diamonds, emeralds, and rubies. The runway opened with Liu Wen and concluded with a finale featuring Eva Herzigova, Liu Wen, Adriana Lima, and Nour Arida.
Following the show, Caroline Scheufele addressed guests with Byron, her cocker spaniel and mascot, before a hidden structure dramatically lifted to reveal the dining room beneath. Dinner by two-Michelin-starred Chef Bruno Oger featured yellow pepper velouté with ricotta and flame-grilled white asparagus, Breton lobster with green vegetables, horseradish and walnut, and a peach and orange-blossom Melba parfait with redcurrant coulis.
Throughout the evening, magicians and acrobats from the Knie Circus entertained guests before performances from Dita Von Teese and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who performed Murder on the Dancefloor. The celebration continued late into the night with a DJ set by Bob Sinclar.
Blending Haute Joaillerie, couture, live performance, and theatrical storytelling, MIRACLES became an immersive expression of Chopard’s creative universe during Cannes.
