Yulia Harfouch attended the amfAR gala on Thursday evening, held annually on the sidelines of the Cannes Film Festival. The event took place at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d'Antibes, one of the most iconic locations during the Cannes fortnight. This charity dinner brings together personalities from the worlds of film, fashion, music, and luxury each year to support HIV and AIDS research programs run by amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research.
An appearance in Saint Laurent
For this highly photographed evening, Yulia Harfouch chose a dress by Saint Laurent. A meticulously crafted silhouette, both understated and sophisticated, true to the couture aesthetic associated with major Cannes events. Her appearance was completed with high jewelry by Raghida Youness. She wore, in particular, a delicate necklace and an exceptional ring, adding a touch of light to the ensemble without weighing down her silhouette.
A gala blending cinema, fashion, and philanthropy
The 2026 amfAR gala was hosted by Geena Davis and brought together numerous international celebrities. Guests and attendees included Rami Malek, Eva Longoria, Lizzo, and Heidi Klum, while Robbie Williams, Zara Larsson, and Pink Panthers were among the artists announced for the evening's performances. Beyond the red carpet, the event remains primarily a charitable one. The Cannes gala has raised over $300 million for HIV/AIDS research since its inception by Elizabeth Taylor in 1993.
Yulia Harfouch in the highly sought-after circle of Cannes parties
Yulia Harfouch's presence at this year's festival confirms her appearance at one of the most high-profile events of the Cannes Film Festival. In a setting that blended glamour, haute couture, and philanthropic commitment, she opted for a sophisticated look: a Saint Laurent dress, Raghida Youness jewelry, and understated elegance. Under the photographers' flashes, Yulia Harfouch thus participated in one of the most closely watched social events of Cannes week, where image and the cause championed by amfAR take center stage each year.
