Well, well, well, if it isn’t Alana Haim and Josh O’Connor giving us a red carpet moment that could only be described as adorably chaotic artsy cinema kid energy™.
These two strutted into the 2025 Cannes Film Festival premiere of The Mastermind looking like your artsy older cousins who just got out of film school and accidentally became A-list celebrities. While most people just pose for the paparazzi like glamorous mannequins, Alana decided to literally present Josh to the cameras like he was the prize on The Price Is Right. Move over Vanna White, Alana’s got this covered. ✨
It was giving “Behold, the man in Prada!” (Yes, Josh was decked out in full Prada glory, because even international art heist movies need a fashion moment.)
Joining this quirky red carpet duo were their co-star John Magaro—who we assume was just happy to be there and not in the middle of a museum robbery—and the indie film queen herself, director Kelly Reichardt. A power squad if we’ve ever seen one.
Now let’s talk about this film for a second. The Mastermind is based in the year 1970, when a guy named Mooney and his two sketchy besties decide to casually waltz into a museum and steal four entire paintings. Like, it’s brunch and burglary, back-to-back. But spoiler alert: stealing the art was the easy part. Keeping it? That’s where things go full “art thief on the run” mode. We love a morally grey king with zero long-term planning skills.
So yeah, to recap: Alana Haim showed off Josh O’Connor like he was a limited-edition vinyl. Josh smized in Prada. Someone probably cried artistic tears. And *The Mastermind* made its Cannes debut with enough style and sass to fill four stolen picture frames.
Cannes, consider yourself officially served. 🎬💅🖼️
