The Cannes Film Festival red carpet sprang to life Tuesday with the premiere of the Louis XV period drama Jeanne du Barry, with Johnny Depp, as the French Riviera movie pageant launched a star-studded and potentially controversy-rife 76th edition. “Jeanne du Barry” stars Johnny Depp as King Louis XV. The film tells the story of Madame du Barry, who climbs the social ladder in France to eventually became the favorite of King Louis XV, scandalizing the French court. In addition to Depp, the film also stars Maïwenn, Benjamin Lavernhe, Pierre Richard and Louis Garrel. Throngs of onlookers shouted “Johnny!” as Depp, in purple-hued sunglasses signed autographs and edged back into the spotlight following his explosive trial last year with ex-wife Amber Heard. Jeanne du Barry, directed and co-starring Maïwenn, has been billed as Depp's comeback—as the actor stepped alongside Maïwenn on the red carpet holding hands tightly. The success of this movie is pivotal for Depp and he selects one of the greatest stages in the world to confirm his status, though his prominent presence at Cannes has been hotly debated.

A coterie of stars streamed down Cannes’ famous red carpet for the opening night ceremony, including Brie Larson, Uma Thurman (above), Gong Li, Elle Fanning, Naomi Campbell, Catherine Deneuve (who graces this year’s festival poster) and a blue-haired Helen Mirren, who carried a fan labeled #worthit. During the opening ceremony, Michael Douglas received an honorary Palme d’Or, with his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones and their daughter, Carys Zeta Douglas, looking on from the audience. “I'm even older than the festival," said Douglas, 78, after receiving a warm standing ovation.
