This week, the 2026 Cannes Film Festival kicked off in France, ushering in a frenzy of glamorous looks on our feeds—often before the stars could even make their way to La Croisette.
Although we’re only three days into the festivities (which end May 23 for those keeping track), jury member and actor Ruth Negga has already established herself as a fashion front-runner. Working with stylist Karla Welch, she’s worn looks from Dior, Saint Laurent, Ami Paris, and more, with equally impressive beauty looks to match. For the screening of La Vie D’Une Femme, for example, hairstylist Marcia Hamilton created an updo with playful, chunky micro-bangs while makeup artist Melanie Inglessis kept the glam soft and toasty.
Updos and other small hairstyling details like this are trending across the carpet, as are fun pops of color in makeup, from Alia Bhatt’s peachy monochromatic look to Aja Naomi King’s subtle pink lip. If Cannes is any indication of the summer beauty trends to come, there’s plenty of whimsy.
Here, we break down all the best beauty details—so far—worth one of the festivals’ famous standing ovations.
