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

At the 'battle of flowers' during the 1954 Cannes Film Festival, the Begum waves with a gloved hand. Elegant in dark sunglasses and a pearl necklace, she is flanked by a smiling Jean Cocteau. In the foreground, actress Françoise Arnoul turns to the camera. Each holds a distinctive flat, woven basket filled with bouquets for the sunlit, celebratory parade.
