Bono Premieres New Docufilm Amid Cannes Dress Code Controversy

At the 78th Cannes Film Festival, Bono premiered his new documentary "Bono: Stories of Surrender," which received a seven-minute standing ovation and showcased personal stories from his life and career. Bono expressed gratitude to his bandmates and the film's director Andrew Dominik, highlighting the collaborative nature of the project. Amal Clooney attended the premiere in a striking vintage off-the-shoulder black John Galliano gown with a sweeping train, embodying old Hollywood glamour while supporting Bono, a longtime friend. The festival implemented a new strict dress code prohibiting nudity and voluminous outfits that disrupt traffic flow, causing some attendees to be turned away, though Clooney's dress was allowed. Other notable attendees included Kristen Stewart and Helena Christensen, who each brought distinctive style to the star-studded event. The documentary offers an intimate look at Bono's journey as a musician, activist, and family man, complemented by exclusive concert footage.
