At the party, Leonardo wore a black outfit paired with a cap, while his mom wore a yellow gown. Leonardo’s portrait, made by Damien Hirst, was auctioned off for USD 1.3 million at the party. “Leonardo DiCaprio’s mom (in yellow) excitedly takes video on her phone as a Damien Hirst portrait of her son is auctioned off for 1.2 million euros at amfAR #Cannes2023,” read the caption.
