Taiwanese actress Lin Chi-ling, who flew to Cannes (Cannes) with her 3-year-old son for a vacation, made an appearance at the 78th Cannes Film Festival on the afternoon of the 16th local time. Prior to the event, she shared on social media a photo of herself pouting and crying face emojis, revealing that she developed a rash on her face due to sleeping issues and hoping to recover before the event.
On May 15, Lin Chi-ling posted on Weibo that she had arrived in Cannes, France, and was taking the opportunity to vacation with her 3-year-old son. She mentioned that her face had a strong reaction due to sleeping with her son on an unfamiliar pillow, accompanying the post with crying emojis, and praying for the Cannes sunshine and vitamin D to help her recover quickly before the event.
In the selfie shared by Lin Chi-ling, her face was the main focus. She was wearing a cherry-patterned top, cherry-shaped earrings, and wiping tears with her right hand, looking aggrieved due to the allergic reaction. Despite being 50 years old, she rested her fist against her face, pouted, resembling a little girl throwing a tantrum, with small rashes visible on her cheeks and even a hint of redness around her eyes. Some fans commented that they even felt itchy just by looking at the photo through the screen, while others joked, “Cheering for the pillow behind the screen.”
Although Lin Chi-ling’s face was swollen and red, a close-up view showed her skin still smooth, pores invisible, and almost flawless, making it hard to find any imperfection in her complexion, and her age of 50 was nowhere to be seen. Some netizens exclaimed, “Even with a skin allergy, she still looks so beautiful” and “Really still so pretty.”
In the afternoon of the 16th local time, Lin Chi-ling appeared in a white fishtail-cut sleeveless maxi dress with a slightly curled hairstyle at the International Women’s Film Forum. A graduate of a dual degree program from the University of Toronto, she answered interview questions in fluent English, stunning the audience with her presence.
