My Look (with hair and makeup by L’Oreal Paris): “It feels so amazing to be back in Cannes! This is my favorite film festival, and I’ve been so lucky to get to attend for almost 20 years with L’Oreal. My style this trip is focused on bright, vibrant colors and timeless elegance. This particular dress is Victoria Beckham, and every time I wear one of her looks, I feel beautiful.”
Name: Francois
Resides in: Paris
Occupation: Assistant Director, Continuity Trainee
My Look: “I’m here at the festival because I worked on Arnaud Desplechin’s Brother and Sister. My look is inspired by Rene Clement’s 1960 film Purple Moon, because I wanted to look like Alain Delon in the same white pants and linen shirt. I feel like him today.”

Occupation: VIP Coordinator, Saint Laurent
My Look: “I’m wearing Saint Laurent boots, belt, jeans and sunglasses with a Petit Bateau tee. I always wear the same no matter if it’s summer or winter, and my look is a mix of ‘60s and rock & roll. For me, wearing all Saint Laurent is chic, elegant and very rock & roll.”
Name: Rachel Slawson

My Look: “I wanted to wear white today, but dress it up with different color combinations and prints. I went through my clothes that I packed today and just went with this. I’m tired of wearing all black, and this feels good for the festival.”

My Look: “I picked this because of the color. We are spending four days on the Coté d’Azur, and I have all my outfits planned out. I felt this look — a bright suit by Zara, shoes by Tommy Hilfiger — would work well for Cannes.”
Name: Majid
Resides in: Doha, Qatar
Occupation: Doha Film Institute Film programmer and filmmaker
My Look: “I picked this mostly because it’s summer, and we are by the beach. Honestly, I wasn’t thinking much about it beyond just selecting something casual for the summer. I think off-white and light colors work well here, so I mixed it up.”
