Here, enjoy a close-up of the breathtaking hair and make-up looks on the Cannes Film Festival’s red carpet.

EVA LONGORIA

Eva wore fierce eye makeup and black eyeliner with wings and a bit of smoky kohl on the lower lash line. The rest of her face is flushed and bronzed, with bright pale pink lips and brown eyeliner adding the finishing touch.

ANNE HATHAWAY

Hathaway’s beauty look was simple, elegant and paired perfectly with the high-stakes outfit. Flawless skin, a shimmering eye, fluffy brows and her signature blow-dry and heavy-set bangs.

ELSA HOSK

Elsa Hosk brought drama to the red carpet with this architectural up-do paired with her signature glam: a muted pink lip and feline liner.

KAIA GERBER

Kaia Gerber’s loose hairstyle was a “1990s throwback to Cannes,” explained her hairstylist, Halley Brisker. It was complemented by soft makeup by Chanel artist Nina Park and puffed eyebrows.

BELLA HADID

The supermodel looked like a modern version of Tchaikovsky’s Odette, bringing serious drama to the Chopard Loves Cinema gala with her gently-winged liner, bouncy bow-wrapped ponytail, and moody, gelled bangs.

ALICIA VIKANDER

Alicia Vikander looked sleek and shimmering on the Cannes red carpet. She paired her intricate, metallic bronze gown with a soft smoky eye and a cool, brushed-back topknot. She wore a radiant makeup look courtesy of celebrity stylist Kelly Cornwall.

ELLE FANNING

Elle wore her hair side-parted with loose curls that framed her face. To keep the hairstyle in place, she opted for a hairpin with a crystal bowl, which added a special touch to the look. The look was complemented with a classic and powerful winged eyeliner and dark pink lips, which were the perfect complement to her outfit.

FRIDA AASEN

The supermodel looked gorgeous in Cannes bronzed make-up, red lips and a messy up-do coupled with her incredible Chopard earrings and necklace.
