The Cannes Film Festival has once again transformed the Croisette into a dazzling showcase of cinematic glamour and sartorial splendour. While the fashion statements were undeniably iconic, it was the beauty looks that truly stole the spotlight, offering a masterclass in elegance.
Leading the charge was Bella Hadid, who made a triumphant return to Cannes with a striking hair transformation. The supermodel debuted her lightest hair colour in years - a honey-toned blonde first styled in a voluminous updo reminiscent of Pamela Anderson’s signature 90s look and for the red carpet, she opted for a sleek straight style. Complementing her sun-kissed strands, the model opted for bronzy makeup and elegant, soap-polished nails - a fresh take on Riviera chic.
