Stunning Beauty Looks From The 2024 Cannes Film Festival

The annual Cannes Film Festival might first and foremost be a showcase of the world’s greatest film talent, but it’s also a sartorial spectacle, playing host to some of the most glamorous red carpet looks of the year.

As the 2024 event in the south of France demonstrates, this energy is exemplified by the beauty looks, too. From Anya Taylor-Joy’s statement hairstyle to Thalia Besson’s bold make-up, this year’s beauty details are far from afterthoughts.

Here, enjoy a close-up of the breathtaking hair and make-up designs from the premieres and photocalls as they happen.

Elsa Hosk

A Cannes regular, Elsa Hosk chose to channel classic glamour this year with bouncy, full-bodied waves, feline flicks of eyeliner and a timeless red lipstick.

Barbara Palvin

Ethereal waves are a big trend for summer and Barbara Palvin executed the hairstyle perfectly for the Cannes carpet, adding a red lipstick to ooze glam over boho.

Winnie Harlow

Winnie Harlow also opted for frothy waves, hers styled in a ponytail which became the perfect accessory to her fluffy pink Tamara Ralph couture hat (nicely nodding to the cowgirl core aesthetic).

Bella Hadid

Bella Hadid’s return to the Cannes red carpet saw her adopt a monochromatic palette, matching her hair and make-up to a sheer Saint Laurent dress.

Diane Kruger

Diane Kruger too married her make-up to her outfit, with shimmering blue eye shadow. Her hair was crated into an equally expressive style.

Selena Gomez

Cohesive with her romantic red Giambattista Valli dress, Selena Gomez’s hair was styled in voluptuous waves at the Emilia Perez photocall, paired with muted tones of make-up that felt fresh for daytime.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was the epitome of sophisticated glamour on the red carpet with a sleek, structured up-do by hairstylist Christian Wood – details mirrored in her make-up which featured graphic black liner punctuating glossy skin.

Cate Blanchett

Letting her gold Louis Vuitton gown do the talking, Cate Blanchett opted for classic make-up at the Rumours premiere, with an ethereal ‘do that was softly swept up and away from her face.

Alexa Chung

Adding to the appeal of this season’s deep side parting trend, Alexa Chung brought high energy with her tailored hair matching a black dress from Simone Rocha’s Jean Paul Gaultier couture collection.
