Cannes [France]: A Ukrainian blogger, Ilona Chernobay dressed in Ukrainian colours, on Sunday, staged a protest on Cannes 2023 red carpet during the screening of the film 'Acide', directed by French filmmaker Just Philippot. The protestor donned the colours of the Ukrainian flag - blue and yellow and poured fake blood on herself on the red carpet steps. The security officials were quick to react and escorted the protestor down the stairs.
Several pictures and videos of the act are currently getting viral on social media. In the video, the protestor could be seen pulling out two capsules of red paint, and before pouring it on herself, she smiled for the cameras. The security staff immediately pulled her down of the stairs and escorted her out of the event.
Soon after the videos of the act went viral on social media, fans swamped the comment section and shared their reactions. "Well done that lady," a user wrote. Another user commented, "Nicely done by her!!!!!" "And she still looks FABULOUS!," a user commented.
