When making her appearance at Cannes, not only Ly Nha Ky was welcomed and lavished with much luxury and appreciation from the Director by means such as her luxurious car, personal guards, walking the red carpet, and the former announcement of her name…, but also at the VIP after party, the royal status continued by her sitting at the center, the powerful table. Once again, her voice and position among the prestigious at Cannes are solidified.
During her attendance in Cannes Film Festival 2016, Ly Nha Ky was 3 times featured by the Gala magazine. Appearing on red carpet of Cannes Film Festival, Ly Nha Ky was always the spotlight of international media and especially arranged by the organization department for every appearance. Ly Nha Ky was invited to take pictures and video of her red carpet appearances by the Gala magazine, as well as international news and media.
“Gorgeous Vietnamese actress, model and businesswoman Lý Nhã Kỳ caused a sensatioin at her red-carpet appearance for the Dardenne brothers’ latest movie, The Unknown Girl. She has been her country’s tourism ambassador since 2011 and happens to support the Cinefondation, promoting new generations of filmmakers. A worthy diplomatic alliance favoring the silver screen.” written by the Gala magazine in the issue of 19th May.
“Ly Nha Ky shines on la plage Majestic” is the headline of the article featured in the Gala magazine published on 22nd May. This prestigious magazine claimed: “Actress, model, supporter of international young talents’ cinema via the Cinéfondation, ambassador of Vietnam and Vietnamese cinema in Cannes, Lý Nhã Kỳ is a very busy woman. Her appearance on the pontoon of La Plage Majestic 69 was one of the most conspicuous and well-liked.”
Gala magazine of France spent a whole page to introduce about Ly Nha Ky. Especially the magazine also compared the beauty to “Lady Di of Vietnam”. The article said: “A tribute to Vietnam, Ly Nha Ky, the Vietnamese star, dressed in a Georges Hobeika gown and adorned with Paolo Piovan jewelry, posed in the lobby of the Grand Hyatt Cannes Hotel Martinez before talking to the red carpet for the screening of the Graduation by Cristian Mungiu. The actress, who is heavily involved in charity work – to such an extent that she is called the “Lady Di of Vietnam” – is one of the sponsors of the Cinéfondation which awards three winners a sum that goes towards the development of a feature film. This globalisation message was received loud and clear by candidates from all over the world, including the winner of this year’s first prize. Or Sinai an Isarelli film-maker, who presented her film entitled Anna.”
The well-known Madame Figaro and Gala magazines favorably called the actress as “Lady Di of Vietnam” for bringing the honor to her country with beautiful acts at Cannes Film Festival 2016. “Being the Tourism Ambassador 2011 for her country, Ly Nha Ky proved her love for the movie by supporting the Cinefondation to strengthen new generations of film makers. Dedicating her heart for philanthropy, the actress was called “Lady Di of Vietnam” brought great honor for her country with such beautiful acts”.
“Lady Di” is a respectable name for Diana Princess, the woman who is considered as the icon of elegance and sophistication. To the western media, “Lady Di” is a rhetoric word to honor the legendary Diana Princess with admiration from the bottom of the soul, a powerful and top influential woman to the society in Europe at her time and until today.
This is one rare compliment that the Madame Figaro gave to praise an actress and business woman from a country where the movie industry is still in early developing stage at Asia. Perhaps with good deeds by being the sponsor for the Cinefondation of Cannes Film Festival since 2016, Ly Nha Ky genuinely conquered media of the world and the French movie.
