Demi Moore defended after red carpet appearance sparks concern
Fans are sticking up for Demi Moore after the Hollywood actress found herself becoming a topic of conversation at the Cannes Film Festival.
The 63-year-old Indecent Proposal star strutted onto the red carpet on Tuesday (12 May) wearing a stunning sequinned Jacquemus gown featuring a corset-style top half and mermaid skirt.
She looked extremely glamorous as she accessorised with a gorgeous diamond-encrusted necklace and a pair of floral earrings.
And the actress isn’t the only one going all out as Cannes is one of the biggest movie events of the year, drawing in A-listers from around the globe.

This year, the 78th edition of the international film festival is being held between 13 and 24 May.
As mentioned, though, some fans are concerned about Moore's appearance, as reported by Page Six.
One X user wrote: “I’ve been a big fan of yours for years, Demi, and I say with the utmost compassion that I hope you take care of your health.”
“I love Demi. Always have. But her physical appearance is very concerning,” wrote a second.
While a third added, “Demi Moore will always be beautiful, but this does not look healthy at all. Sad to see.”
However, others have defended the actress, with one social media user writing: “I really don’t think Demi Moore who has always been skinny is taking Ozempic. I think she’s a thin 63-year-old woman and we don’t need discourse about this.”
A second added, “I couldn't possibly care less about Demi Moore's arms. Why are we caring about Demi Moore's arms?”
While a third reflected on their previous comments, writing: “Earlier, I joined in on the mocking of this wonderful woman. I must apologize for joining the toxicity and insensitivity. I have no idea what Demi Moore may be going through or has gone through.”
As per Hello! Magazine, during her red carpet appearance, Moore took some questions from the press.
When quizzed about the blend between art and politics in the films presented, she reasoned: "I think part of art is about expression. So if we start censoring ourselves, then I think we shut down the very core of our creativity, which is, I think, where we can discover truth and answers."
The Substance star is also a member of the Cannes film festival jury this year - an elite group of experts who hold responsible for selecting films from the festival crop that will receive the honour of an award.
For a jury photocall, Moore opted for a white dress covered in colorful polka dots with a matching purse.
Tyla has contacted a representative for Moore for comment.
