Did Margaret Qualley and Demi Moore at Cannes 2024 just become the mother duo we never knew we needed? Yes—yes, they did. On May 19, the costars of The Substance were giving Black Swan two ways; Qualley in head-to-toe balletcore and Moore wearing a mermaid gown with a three-dimensional bow detail at the bust.

Qualley’s Chanel dress resembled a ballerina’s tutu, with its drop waist, halter neckline, and layered white tulle skirt. The bodice of Qualley’s dress had a feminine pink-and-taupe pattern, while the ruffled skirt featured decorative lace details. Really leaning into the ballet inspiration, she finished the look with sequined slingback ballet flats with black bows on the toes, and a matching bow clip in her hair.

Moore, meanwhile, stunned in a nude-colored Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown, with a figure-hugging silhouette and a large, sculptural bow detail resembling a bird wing. She accessorized with diamond jewelry and sleek, center-parted hair.

In The Substance, Qualley plays a, “younger, better version” of Moore’s character, Demi Moore explained at a Cannes 2024 press conference, per CNN. Of filming the movie’s nude scenes, Moore said, “It was a very vulnerable experience and just required a lot of sensitivity and a lot of conversation about what we were trying to accomplish.” Luckily she had Qualley, whom Moore described as “someone who was a great partner who I felt very safe with.”

The Substance received a 13-minute standing ovation following its premiere at Cannes, so it’s safe to say we’ll be seeing a lot more of Moore and Qualley in the coming months.
