Nadine Nassib Njeim Stuns at the Cannes Film Festival 2026 in Armani Privé and MARLI Jewelry

Lebanese actress and beauty entrepreneur Nadine Nassib Njeim made her appearance at the opening ceremony of the 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival 2026 on Tuesday captivating attention on the red carpet with an elegant and refined look.

Nadine chose a sophisticated black gown by Armani Privé with a strapless design featuring a sweetheart neckline, a statement knot detail at the waist, and a sheer chiffon shawl of ruffles that added a soft feminine touch to the total black look that completed the look with a 90’s blowout hairstyle with a side part and natural glowing makeup.

While the gown itself drew admiration, it was Nadine’s exceptional jewelry that truly elevated the appearance. As the regional ambassador for MARLI New York, she wore a custom Haute Joaillerie set from the brand’s “The Darling” collection, created exclusively for her. The dazzling pieces included an architectural statement necklace, detachable sculptural earrings, and a diamond-studded bracelet adorned with pink tourmaline, black onyx, and amethyst.

The jewelry collection is estimated to be worth over $1 million, marking the first time the house has designed a complete Haute Joaillerie collection inspired entirely by the identity of one of its ambassadors. The Darling is composed of pink tourmaline for warmth, amethyst for depth, and black onyx for edge.

Marli’s Founder and Creative Director, Maral Artinian, also attended the red carpet alongside Nadine Njeim, wearing her brand’s Lady Liberty pieces, inspired by freedom, strength, and the quiet confidence of individuality.

The actress also shared moments from the evening with her followers on Instagram, posting a series of red-carpet photos that highlighted the details of her Cannes look.

This year’s Cannes Film Festival 2026 is taking place from May 12 to 23, bringing together major international stars, filmmakers, and industry figures from around the world, as dozens of films compete for the festival’s highest honor, the Palme d’Or.
