At the annual executive dinner held by Medialink and iHeart Media at the exclusive Hotel du Cap in Cannes, France, legendary rocker Lenny Kravitz took the stage and wowed the crowd with his electrifying performance. The star-studded event was attended by several celebrities, including Paris Hilton and her husband Carter Reum, Jessica Alba, Jay Shetty, Anthony Anderson, Sophia Bush, and Ashlyn Harris.
Bob Pittman, the CEO of iHeart Media, introduced Kravitz as a music icon who started his career as a “monster” and continued to grow in fame and success. As he appeared on stage, Kravitz donned his signature leather pants and netted shirt, which he concealed with a denim jacket. The 60-year-old crooner captivated the audience for about an hour, playing his legendary hits such as “American Woman,” “Fly Away,” and “TK421.”
Among the attendees were media personalities like Kara Swisher, Joanna Coles, Andrew Ross Sorkin, and NTWRK CEO Aaron Levant. Levant’s Complex brand had hosted a dinner the previous night, featuring pop star Camila Cabello. Cabello had also taken the stage at L’Ecrin Plage the night before and performed her acoustic renditions of her popular tracks “I Luv It,” “He Knows,” and “Never Be the Same.” Before leaving the stage, she exclaimed, “Live it up in Cannes, everybody!”
During an interview, Cabello shared that her new blond hairstyle, which she debuted in February, was influenced by legendary artists like Madonna and David Bowie. She emphasized the importance of keeping things fresh for her audience and expressed confidence that as long as she stayed true to herself, her fans would continue to support her.
The annual advertising festival in Cannes runs from June 17th to June 21st, attracting industry professionals, celebrities, and music icons alike. It serves as a platform for networking, showcasing creativity, and celebrating the power of advertising.
