During the dinner portion of the evening, guests were thrilled and surprised with some of the world’s top models, who walked the onsite runway setup on the property’s infinity pool, showcasing Chopard’s latest collection of Haute Joaillerie as part of its “Red Carpet Collection.” The models, who wore Elie Saab ensembles and Aquazzura shoes, included Elsa Hosk, Josephine Skriver, Joan Smalls, Jasmine Tookes, Sara Sampaio, Izabel Goulart, Sui He, Ming Xi, Stella Maxwell and Irina Shayk.

Ms. Scheufele then hosted an exclusive party for her guests, who enjoyed the surprise performance by world-renowned Latin superstar Enrique Iglesias, singing his most famous hits—including “Tonight”—as well as a music set by none other than DJ Cassidy. Guests danced and partied the night away at what was sure to have been one of the most memorable Cannes 2018 evenings.
