The hot opening of the MIFF: the stars showed outfits and feelings

When they say that the event will take place in any weather, they usually mean rains and other cataclysms. In recent years, the MIFF is perhaps the first time that the heat and the threat of smog almost ruined all the plans. Stars sometimes chose outfits in order not to die on the red carpet from overheating. But it seems that everything went quite well: they showed themselves and looked at other colleagues. Yes, and the latest news from life shared. “MK” visited the opening ceremony of the 44th Moscow International Film Festival and captured the brightest moments.

So, outfits. The red carpet leading to the capital’s cinema was traditionally full of variety. In general, at the opening of a festival of this magnitude, actresses allow themselves not to chase fashion and try to be in trend, but to choose exactly what will make their exit unforgettable. Therefore, there were dresses long, short, tight, loose, black, white, flowered, plain; trouser suits, even sombrero hats…

Tatyana Mikhalkova appeared before the public in a black dress with an orange stole that complements the image, and with an invariable accessory – a bow that adorns her hair: “The mood is wonderful,” the wife of the festival president shared her emotions with MK. – Films from all over the world, there will be a lot of interesting things … “

Well, when asked if the heat had frightened her, she answered in the affirmative: “There is such a thing, but it’s good!”, Meaning that heat is clearly better for her than cold. Indeed: the red carpet, where the stars froze, but smiled as best they could, we all remember.

Nikita Mikhalkov did not go for experiments, appearing in a classic suit, despite the heat. His example was followed by other colleagues: Konstantin Khabensky, who received the Stanislavsky “I Believe” award at the opening ceremony; Andrey Merzlikin, who hosted the opening ceremony; chairman of the jury of the main competition Yevgeny Mironov. But the actor Denis Kosyakov seems to have decided to combine originality and comfort. It’s no secret that everything is well blown under a kilt skirt. So when Kosyakov stepped onto the path in a kilt, many nodded in understanding, wiping sweat from their foreheads.

The star of the TV series “The Diary of Dr. Zaitseva” actress Yana Krainova swam out like a swan in a tight gold dress. “I have an absolute anticipation of the new year and the holiday, so I am in the golden color. I’m in my perfect body, I just had to find my perfect dress, which will emphasize this, the artist commented on her image.

It is worth noting that the golden image of Krainova did not go unnoticed, including by star men. At some point, actor Nikita Efremov appeared on the red carpet. Many did not even think that the son of Mikhail Efremov would arrive at all, because he had left Russia shortly before. Back in April, he said that he was 27 hours from the capital. According to rumors, the actor flew to Bali, but the film festival seems to have become a significant reason for returning. Nikita, by the way, was struck by his thinness. Many noted that after returning from hot countries, he lost a few more kilograms. The actor was dressed in a fashionable suit with a white shirt, stylish shoes on his bare feet. On a long and wide red carpet with stairs up, the young man behaved quite relaxed, which attracted the special attention of photographers. He posed like a real model, quickly changing his perfect movements, so that photojournalists got a lot of shots of Efremov in different poses. In addition, the artist happily communicated with colleagues whom he had not seen for a long time. At some point, the same girl in gold, Yana Krainova, appeared on the way of Efremov. He, of course, could not pass by. A conversation ensued. The people around could not help but note that Efremov, with special tenderness, hugged the star of the TV series “The Diary of Dr. Zaitseva.” They had a nice chat, prompting some fans to ask “what’s between them?” questions. Indeed, according to the latest information, Nikita broke up with TV presenter Maria Ivakova, so the girls, as they say, have a chance. However, what kind of novels were not attributed to the actor, but he has not yet officially introduced his girlfriend.

In the meantime, the audience tried to marry the actors appearing at the ceremony, a couple materialized in the center of the red carpet, whose marital union in show business, almost no one managed to surpass. Svetlana Druzhinina and Anatoly Mukasey are frequent guests of the MIFF. This year was no exception. The couple appeared in a great mood, were cheerful and full of energy. Anatoly Mikhailovich was dressed in an elegant suit, Svetlana Sergeyevna was wearing a white lace cardigan dress with trousers. “We worked today, worked hard, there was a recording of music for Midshipmen-5, the fourth film is already ready. But we managed to come running, change clothes and now let’s go have a cup of coffee and we will rest, we hope that we will see our friends and enjoy the picture, ”Svetlana Sergeevna told MK.

It’s no secret that this couple is one of the most enduring in our film business. They have been together for 64 years, next year – the anniversary of the relationship! And of course, when the photographers saw the couple, without saying a word, they began to shout: “Bitter!” Anatoly Mukasey and Svetlana Druzhinina did not resist feelings, kissing each other, as if they got married yesterday.

In turn, “MK” could not help but wonder what allows them to be together for so many years and not lose interest in each other.

“We need to love each other, love cinema and work hard in cinema. We cannot live without cinema, we work all the time – this prolongs life. We do not quarrel, we argue – up to breaking the dishes, but only on questions of which zoom to set, which actor to shoot, which actress to take on the role. These are the main topics of our disputes. We live inside the cinema and love each other both on the set and in life, ”admitted Druzhinina and Mukasey.

By the way, the couple met in their student years at VGIK. Then they got married and never parted. Two sons were born in the marriage, and now they have four grandchildren.
