CATE BLANCHETT:  When we found out that Cate was this year’s president, we could not contain our excitement.

ARAYA A. HARGATE: A style staple at the Cannes Film Festival, Araya was red hot on the red carpet.

The Chanel ambassador wore a diamond lion brooch from Chanel’s L’Esprit du Lion collection.
