These Cannes Beauty Looks Are Bringing Back Old Hollywood Glam in the Best Way
For a week in May, the world's most famous models and celebrities make their way to the South of France for the Cannes Film Festival. And if you thought the Oscars were glamorous, just wait until you see the hair and makeup from Cannes.
This year was all about the red lip and pastel hair: Elle Fanning, Selena Gomez, and K-pop star Jessica Jung all wore the bright crimson lip hue and Helen Mirren and Chris Lee wore pale shades in their hair, which made for a very striking red carpet. The hairstyles were equally elegant with chignons, twisted updos, and Hollywood waves.
