The best red carpet beauty from the 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.
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.
Sienna Miller
With the perfect undone waves (by stylist Earl Simms) and a pop of colour via berry lipstick (the work of make-up artist Wendy Rowe), Sienna Miller was glowing on the Horizon: An American Saga red carpet.
Anya Taylor-Joy
Anya Taylor-Joy's hair, by stylist Gregory Russell, was as elaborate and intricate as her Dior tulle gown. Her equally striking make-up, by artist Georgie Eisdell centred on the iconic Rouge Dior Lipstick in #999 Velvet.
Naomi Campbell
Naomi Campbell's rippling waves looked stunning against her shimmering '90s Chanel Couture dress.
Lea Seydoux
Lea Seydoux's tousled blow-dry oozed French sophistication, well paired to her fresh-faced make-up featuring subtle washes of warmth.
Juliette Binoche
Juliette Binoche nailed the hydro hair trend, with swept-back, high-gloss locks complimenting her soft smoky make-up.
Taylor Hill
Taylor Hill's structured hairstyling was a breath of fresh air. With strong make-up to match, she nailed modern gamine glamour.
Araya Hargate
Araya Hargate kept the hair bow look alive with a chic velvet ribbon decorating her elegant up-do.
Eva Green
Eva Green's blow-out defied gravity, with serious va-va-voom volume.
Thalia Besson
Thalia Besson's sculpted side bangs felt very summer '24 – the style being a key trend this coming season.
