Opulence and luxury are synonymous with major celebrity events. The Oscars and the Cannes Film Festival are two of the hottest events on the celebrity film calendar. This year we saw the stars hit the red carpet in haute couture, and the finest accessories and jewellery imaginable.
Whilst most were interested in who won awards and had the best film reviews, us – celebrity lovers were more interested in who was the best and worst dressed and what was in those infamous gift bags. Yes, no celebrity bash is complete without them!
This year’s lavish freebies included exotic, luxury trips and high-end beauty products. Here are a few of the most luxury items from the Oscars and Cannes film festival gift bags.

Vacations
Luxury vacations are very special and a free stay at the Le Taha’a Resort in French Polynesia is a gift that most can only dream of. This $1,000 a night resort is located on one of the most renowned islands and offers guests everything from scuba diving lessons to a spa experience. There is even a helipad for those who don’t want to take a boat to the “motu” islet. It is the perfect place to unwind and recharge with loved ones or friends.
The Oscars featured a two day rail journey on the rocky mountaineer luxury train. Priced at $6,850 the train went through beautiful Western Canada passing lakes and mountains along the way.

Jewellery is usually a staple item in the gift bag with high-end brands such as Cartier often slipping timeless classics in them.
