"The French Dispatch" premiered this week at the Cannes Film Festival but the media frenzy surrounding the movie comes from a cast picture.

The latest Wes Anderson movie is about the staff of a magazine about to print their last-ever issue and stars many well-known names in Hollywood such as Timothee Chalamet, Tilda Swinton, and Bill Murray.

However, when the three stars and the director, Wes Anderson, came to the photocall for the premiere, their stylists clearly had different ideas of what the dress code should be. Ranging from Bill Murray's summer outfit to Tilda Swinton's bright-blue office look, the four of them together were quite an interesting sight.

So, the internet did what it does best and turned the clashing styles into a new meme. The wildly popular meme format compares the four different styles to another set of four things. People were quick to bring in the generational comparison in the picture.

There were also references to the difference between social-media platforms.

"The French Dispatch" is about journalism, and some Twitter users understood that assignment when coming up with their four comparisons.

Some users went so far as to compare themselves to the background leg seen behind Timothee Chalamet in the picture.

Beyond the meme-ing, some people zeroed in on other strange details from the photo - like how Murray is wearing two watches.

And finally, some users got really creative with the meme.

"The French Dispatch" received a nine-minute standing ovation when it premiered at Cannes.
