sara Sampaio
Cannes beauty at its best, Sara Sampaio stunned with her slicked-back pony, bronzed skin and perfectly defined brows. Plus, just look at that highlight.
Grace Elizabeth
Speaking of slick locks, model Grace Elizabeth had us itching to go for the chop and rock a retro wet-look style thanks to her elegant yet edgy take on a classic look.
Fan Bingbing
We’re not sure what we’re obsessed with more, Fan BingBing’s perfect winged liner, red power pout, chic Chinese-inspired hair, or intricate nail art.
Elle Fanning
Elle Fanning did what Elle Fanning does best, keeping her beauty look perfectly pretty and on the more natural side. We’re talking an elegant bun, berry-stained lips and a flush of blush.
Gemma Chan
Still debating whether to cut a fringe? Gemma Chan’s Cannes beauty look is all the convincing we need to brave bangs.
Laura Harrier
Laura Harrier was the epitome of chic on the red carpet, with her lowcut YSL dress, dazzling Bulgari jewels and flawless makeup. The proverbial cherry on top? That cute but cool hair flick. Love.

When in doubt, rock a rich red pout. We’re still waiting for makeup artist Anne Sophie Costa to reveal what shade she used on Iris Law’s lips, and when she does, we’ll be stocking up.
Simona Tabasco
In the words of celebrity hairstylist Peter Lux, Simona Tabasco’s beauty look gave major “Audrey vibes”. And, thanks to makeup artist Allan Avendaño, you can shop all the products he used to create her gorgeous look.
Karlie Kloss
Karlie Kloss was a real life Grecian goddess with her custom Dior gown, netted headpiece and gorgeous gold eye makeup look by Hung Vanngo.
Adriana Lima
When Patrick Ta does your makeup and Danielle Priano styles your locks, you know you’re onto a winning look. Fabulously fierce with her on-point cat-eye liner and high-shine sleek pony, Adriana Lima was a beauty force to be reckoned with.
Tara Emad
Not only has Tara Emad just been announced as Chanel’s first-ever Middle East brand ambassador, but she also stole the spotlight with her breathtaking beauty look. Teaming long, glossy waves with dark, defined eyes, she ticked every beauty box.
laila abdallah
Deena Alawaid, we salute you, for this hair look on Laila Abdallah is nothing short of stunning. Not to mention her beautiful bronzed makeup look by Sam Tsan. A match made in heaven.
It wasn’t just the debut of her new beau that Dua Lipa had us talking about, it was also her effortlessly elegant beauty look, complete with a silver smokey eye and the twisted updo of dreams.
Josephine Skriver
Josephine Skriver looked absolutely flawless with her classic beauty look, combining a pared-back bun with dewy lips, contoured cheekbones and subtly defined eyes.
Didi Stone
Didi Stone had us reaching for our silver eyeshadows faster than you can say “metallic magic”.
Rose Bertram
Belgian model Rose Bertram clearly got the Mermaidcore memo with her wet-look waves that looked like she’d just stepped out of the sea. Made high-fashion, of course, thanks to her Pinko gown, glamourous makeup and Hassanzadeh bling.
Irina Shayk
Irina Shayk also made a case for wet-look locks on the red carpet with her high-shine textured tresses and slick side-parting.
Alessandra Ambrosio
Two words to describe Alessandra’s gorge look at the Killers of the Flower Moon premiere? To quote the model herself, “smokey elegance”.
Adriana Lima
Adrina strikes again, and this time with the sultriest, smokiest eye courtesy of Patrick Ta. Who, of course, used all of his brand’s products, including a lipstick that’s “coming soon”. Watch this space…
Grace Elizabeth
This Cannes beauty look from Grace Elizabeth is giving us Cruella de Vil meets Elizabeth Taylor, and we’re all for it.
Salma Hayek
Charlotte Tilbury described her niece Sofia Tilbury’s makeup for Salma Hayek as “elegant” and “sun-kissed”, which are two words we’d happily be called any day. So, when she then went on to list every single skincare and makeup product Sofia used, we took note. And cleared spaces on our beauty tables, obviously.
Gigi Hadid
The word bombshell could have been made just to describe Gigi Hadid’s flawless Cannes beauty look, which saw her rock the nude makeup look of dreams and a big, bouncy blow-out. Pass the volumising spray, please.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
It was all waves for days and burnished bronze makeup for Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, courtesy of Christian Wood (aka the man behind most of her dreamy hair looks) and Hung Vanngo. #dreamteam.
Lily-Rose Depp
Donning an archival Chanel LBD, classic smokey eye, glowing skin and tousled updo, all eyes were on Lily-Rose Depp at the premiere of her new TV show The Idol.
Jasmine Tookes
In the words of Patrick Ta, “I’m obsessed”. And it’s not hard to see why. Jasmine Tookes literally glowed her way down the red carpet thanks to Ta’s Major Glow Balm in ‘She’s on Vacation’, which he used all over her body. #addstocart.
scarlett johansson
Speaking of products to stock up on, we’re adding a hot tangerine lipstick to the list after spotting Scarlett Johansson’s bright power pout.
