Diamond-Studded Maybach Unveiled at Cannes Bash

Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d’Antibes is one of the hotels at the top of paparazzi’s list during the Cannes Film Festival. It is where stars like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Robert Deniro, and Kirsten Dunst are resting their partied bones this year. It is also where de GRISOGONO holds its annual and uber-exclusive bash each year now for ten consecutive years.
In honor of their decade-long presence at the most significant foreign cinema fest in the world, the Swiss jewelry and watch maker partnered with Maybach to create the ultimate in luxury vehicles.

The Maybach 62S, dripping in diamonds, was unveiled to a house of 800 elite guests such as Lionel Richie and Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas. Studded with the signature elegance that exemplifies the two brands, black and white diamonds were meticulously encrusted throughout the interior of the prestigious automobile giving it a mega-boost to the summit of its echelon.
