Jacqueline opted for a white look for the day event, as she was seen attending the event as part of the women in cinema event with several other honourees. The actor looked stunning in a pant suit which was styled with a bejeweled corset in the front. She kept her look simple yet elegant by keeping her hair open, and ditching neck pieces for earrings.

In the caption, she wrote, “Cannes Day 1 with @redseafilm Delighted to be an honouree at the women in cinema initiative that champions female storytellers.”
