Lily Gladstone, fresh from her appearance at the Met Gala, is now in Cannes as a jury member for the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival. For the festival’s opening night, her glam team aimed for a “South of France old Hollywood glamour” look, with soft and fresh makeup and a touch of ’70s inspiration. Knowing the humid weather in Cannes, hairstylist Marc Mena prepped Gladstone’s hair with volumizing mousse, thickening spray, and heat protectant before styling it with a round brush and curling iron to create a look that humidity would only enhance. Lots of hairspray was also used to ensure the style stayed in place.
Gladstone’s makeup artist, Nick Barose, focused on the eyes for her red carpet look, using a shimmery ivory color on the brow bone from Indigenous-owned brand Cheekbone Beauty. He finished off her lashes with a shimmery navy mascara to make her brown eyes pop without needing to smoke out the look too much. The overall effect was a fresh and glamorous look that suited the Cannes red carpet perfectly. Despite the potential for rain in the forecast, the team embraced the humidity and worked with it to create a stunning, weather-resistant look for Gladstone.
Gladstone attended the screening and opening ceremony of “Le Deuxième Acte” (“The Second Act”) at the Cannes Film Festival, looking every bit the Hollywood star with her elegant hair and makeup. Her beachside location and the glamorous setting of Cannes called for a special look, and her glam team delivered with a carefully curated beauty look that captured the essence of old Hollywood with a modern twist. The combination of soft, fresh makeup and a humidity-proof hairstyle ensured that Gladstone looked radiant and camera-ready for her red carpet appearance.
The use of Indigenous-owned beauty products in Gladstone’s makeup look added an extra layer of significance to her Cannes red carpet appearance. By incorporating products like the Fearless Eyeshadow Pencil from Cheekbone Beauty, Gladstone’s team not only created a beautiful look but also supported and highlighted Indigenous-owned brands in the beauty industry. This attention to detail and commitment to inclusivity added depth and meaning to Gladstone’s red carpet appearance, showcasing not just her beauty but also her support for diverse and underrepresented voices in the beauty world.
Overall, Lily Gladstone’s appearance at the Cannes Film Festival opening night was a masterclass in red carpet glamour and sophistication. From her South of France-inspired hairstyle to her soft and fresh makeup look, every detail was carefully curated to highlight her natural beauty and capture the essence of old Hollywood glamour. With the added significance of using Indigenous-owned beauty products, Gladstone’s red carpet look was not only stunning but also meaningful, showcasing her support for diversity and inclusion in the beauty industry. As a jury member at Cannes, Gladstone made a powerful statement both on and off the red carpet, solidifying her status as a beauty and style icon to watch.
