The annual festival will see plenty of glitz and glamour, with Nicole's role as a judge keeping her at the centre of things.
Heading the jury is U.S. director Steven Spielberg, who screened his hit E.T. at the festival back in 1982.
In a statement, Spielberg, 66, said: 'My admiration for the steadfast mission of the festival to champion the international language of movies is second to none.

'The most prestigious of its kind, the festival has always established the motion picture as a cross-cultural and generational medium.' 
He added: 'The memory of my first Cannes film festival, nearly 31 years ago with the debut of ET, is still one of the most vibrant of my career. 
'For over six decades, Cannes has served as a platform for extraordinary films to be discovered and introduced to the world for the first time. 
'It is an honour and a privilege to preside over the jury of a festival that proves, again and again, that cinema is the language of the world.'
