John Travolta Debuts New Look During Cannes Red Carpet Outing With Daughter Ella Bleu
Travolta wore circular eyeglasses and a white beret as he attended the festival with Ella Bleu for a screening and his directorial debut.
- On Friday, May 15, 2026, actor John Travolta and his daughter Ella Bleu Travolta attended the Cannes Film Festival red carpet to view the French psychological thriller 'Karma,' marking his return to the prestigious event.
- Donning a white beret and circular eyeglasses, John debuted a notably different red carpet style, while Ella Bleu paid tribute to her late mother Kelly Preston by channeling her signature simple elegance.
- Ella Bleu's floor-length black gown mirrored the silhouette Preston wore on January 19, 1997, though she replaced gold accents with tear-drop earrings and wore her hair in a mid-length bob. Both women wore their hair down.
- Cannes director Thierry Fremaux surprised John with an honorary Palme d'Or award during the festival. The actor called the recognition a 'humbling moment' while addressing the crowd on May 15.
- John also premiered his directorial debut, 'Propeller One-Way Night Coach,' during the festival, describing it as deeply personal. His last appearance at Cannes was in 2018 for the 40th anniversary of 'Grease.
