Margaret Qualley and Aubrey Plaza attended the Cannes Film Festival together on Friday. They were there for the world premiere of their new film Honey Don’t!.

As they walked the red carpet, they seemed cheerful and carefree. Moreover, they laughed, posed, and patted each other’s backs in a friendly, fun manner. Unsurprisingly, their playful moment caught fans’ attention on social media.

Their Goofy Moment Goes Viral

Soon after, a video from the event surfaced on X. In the clip, Margaret moved her hand down to Aubrey’s waist while posing for group photos. In return, Aubrey pulled Margaret closer and gave her a quick pat on the butt. She giggled, and both continued smiling for the cameras.

Therefore, fans quickly shared and reacted to the video.

Consequently, the moment sparked a wave of funny comments. One fan wrote, “Margaret Qualley letting her intrusive thoughts win for a second there.” Another joked, “This makes more sense than Margaret and Jack (Antonoff, her husband) actually!”

Similarly, someone added, “Jack has no chance against Aubrey lol.” Another fan teased, “Never let your husband stop you from finding your wife.”

However, some took a more neutral stance. One user commented, “Listen, I support the lesbians heavy but this is kinda just…normal girl friend behavior? Idk I wouldn’t think anything of it. Let’s not sexualize female friendship, ok?”

Personal Backgrounds Add Context

For context, Margaret married musician and producer Jack Antonoff in 2023. Their wedding was a private event attended by close friends like Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey.

Meanwhile, Aubrey’s appearance at Cannes held deeper meaning. It marked her first public outing since her husband, Jeff Baena, died by suicide in January at age 47.

After the premiere, Aubrey received an emotional standing ovation from the audience.
