Jean Cocteau, the Begum and Françoise Arnoul. Cannes Film Festival, battle of flowers 1954

During the 'battle of flowers' at the 1954 Cannes Film Festival, the Begum Aga Khan waves with a white-gloved hand. Elegant in cat-eye sunglasses and a pearl choker, she is flanked by filmmaker Jean Cocteau, seen in profile with a boutonnière, and actress Françoise Arnoul. Dressed in a light-colored dress with a distinctive bow at the neckline, Arnoul smiles warmly while holding a large wicker basket of flowers for the celebratory procession.
