Do Cannes red carpets ever get less overwhelming? “I’m a lot more relaxed than last year, when I was crying in the car [on my way] to Tree of Life out of nerves,” said Jessica Chastain at the Women in Film Celebration, hosted last weekend in Cannes by IFP, Calvin Klein Collection, and euphoria Calvin Klein. “I wasn’t crying like, I don’t want to do it. I was with my best friend and I was like, I am so scared. It’s so intimidating!”

You don’t have your shoes when you get off the boat,” she explained. “You take somebody else’s, which has happened.” Whose shoes has she wound up with? “I can’t remember, which is a good thing.”
