TW: Footage with bleeding and injury marks from stabbing
Andrea del Val, the 29-year-old Miss Venezuela 2025, posted a video on social media showing blood streaming down her face, pointing the camera directly at her stylist Giovanni Laguna and telling him in Spanish that he had finally shown the world who he really was. Laguna, 33, sat in the corner of the room, visible in the same footage, with furniture overturned and belongings thrown across the room.
The alleged attack occurred during the ongoing Cannes Film Festival 2026. Per reports, other guests at the hotel reportedly heard shouting and the sounds of a physical struggle before calling the front desk, who then alerted police. Spanish journalist Jordi Martin later shared a video appearing to show Laguna being walked out of the building by French authorities.

Laguna was detained for questioning. As of the time of reporting, no formal charges had been announced, and French police had not responded to media requests for comment. What exactly triggered the argument between the two has not been established.
Del Val was treated for her injuries at the scene and was said to be in stable condition.
In Latin American celebrity and pageant circles, Laguna is not an unknown face. He took on the role of creative director for Miss Universe Colombia in 2023 and has worked alongside Fatima Bosch, the 25-year-old Mexican winner of Miss Universe 2025.
