Big beauty moments from the Cannes 2024 red carpet

Celebrities opted for classic beauty looks that complemented their dazzling outfits, showcasing the enduring power of a perfectly styled updo, a bold red lip, or a touch of feline eyeliner.

Anya Taylor-Joy stole the show with a platinum blonde updo and a fiery red lip, channeling the glamour of Hollywood’s golden age. Selena Gomez looked fresh and radiant for the premiere of her film, sporting soft waves and muted makeup that perfectly matched her romantic off-the-shoulder gown.

For her Cannes debut, Kiara Advani went for a minimalist approach, letting her natural beauty shine with a focus on a glowing complexion and subtly highlighted features. Elsa Hosk, a Cannes regular, embodied classic glamour with bouncy waves and a timeless red lip. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s sleek updo and graphic black eyeliner offered a sophisticated counterpoint to her gown, proving that clean lines and bold accents can create a striking look.

Cate Blanchett allowed her statement-making outfit representing the Palestinian flag make the noise – her beauty look comprised subtle nude makeup and side-parted textured hair. Model Barbara Calvin went with soft shoulder-length waves, complementing her powder blue dress, accentuated with a minimal no-makeup-makeup look.

These celebrities prove that classic beauty never goes out of style. From the bold red lip to the flawless complexion , the Cannes 2024 red carpet was a celebration of timeless elegance.

Turkish Actor Hande Erçel made her Cannes red carpet debut this season in a fiery red, custom-made Balmain ensemble. The 29-year-old finished her look with old-school Hollywood glam featuring a classic sharp winged eyeliner and pink-nude lips.
