ALBAWABA - Lebanese artist Haifa Wehbe's red carpet presence at the 77th Cannes Film Festival caused controversy online.
At the premiere of "The Count of Monte Cristo," a film by Alexandre de la Patilier and Matthew Delaporte, several photographers rushed to capture her image before she made her way inside the theater.
Many admired her butterfly-like black and pink outfit, complete with a big back knot and glittering black hand stockings. Additionally, her decision to wear minimal makeup and maintain her natural complexion received praise, as did her choice to let her long hair fall gracefully between her shoulders. According to how they look.
Simultaneously, some pointed out the wrinkles that appeared on her skin in a few close-up shots and questioned their origins; they also wondered whether the artist, who has defied the passage of time and looked years younger throughout her career, was officially showing her age.
Wehbe has always been known for her unique appearance, and her taste in feminine and elegant clothing has always been a source of controversy. However, this time around, some have claimed that she wore the same dress to earlier sessions of the Cannes Film Festival, so she hasn't been able to garner the same amount of attention as before.
"You always accuse Haifa Wehbe of using filters and photo editing programs, but now she is showing you her true face. What do you expect from a woman in her fifties? "She has a stunning presence and an attractive figure, and to me, she is the most beautiful and attractive woman in the world," he said, turning his attention to her defenders.
Notably, Wehbe has just released a new single named "Ya Nahla" that has the music of Bilal Sorour, lyrics by Mustafa Hassan, arrangements and musical interludes by Hani Rabih, and production values by Suleiman Damian.
