The team and cast of the critically acclaimed movie arrived in a giant golden party bus accompanied by the French police. Along with composer Alexandre Desplat, the cast stood at the bottom of the red carpet to click group pictures. The ecstatic cast seemed to be enjoying themselves as Bill Murray took off his mask to pose in front of the lenses while Wilson was seen filming the throng of a crowd cheering them along. 

Brody was seen violating one of the festival's rules by pulling young actor Timothée Chalamet in for a selfie on the red carpet. The cast was also decked up for the occasion with many sporting the classic black tux and statement attire. Standing out from the cast and with five movies to be played at the festival, Tilda Swinton donned a pink gown with gold sequence sleeves.
