Every year, the Cannes Film Festival gives free rein to celebrities to express their style on the red carpet, both in terms of fashion and beauty. For this 79th edition, the Croisette has been transformed into a real field of expression, where the stars compete in daring with ultra-worked glamorous hairstyles, designed to capture all eyes.
Unsurprisingly, the bun is once again the must-have of the season: ballerina version at Leïla Bekhti, twisted at the former beauty queen Flora Coquerel, or even more deconstructed at Alexandra Leclerc, wife of Monaco F1 driver Charles Leclerc. It’s also impossible not to highlight the radical hair changes, often brought about by the magic of the Croisette. Among the most spectacular and successful transformations, we note that of the beautiful Mélanie Thierry, who went to court with a rock boy cut with elaborate spikes.
