There’s something about the air in the French city of Cannes that knows how to unleash a desire in celebs to experiment. This is one of the reasons we love it when the Cannes Film Festival comes to town. Last week brought the 77th edition of the prestigious event, and celebrities stirred up a whirlwind in the city with upbeat beauty offerings that proved that there are a thousand ways to do glam!
Outside of Cannes, other cities reverberated with events that smoked out the stars in impressive beauty takes that hit hard. From Keke Palmer at the Webby Awards in New York to Fantasia in Los Angeles for the finale of American Idol Season 22, every Black celebrity made it a mission to snap necks in makeup looks and hairstyles that set a new order for 2024.
The Looks
Makeup
When talking about the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and the celebs that shone on the carpet, it’s impossible to ignore French singer Yseult Onguenet. For the occasion, Onguenet opted for an elegant throwback in a vintage-inspired Dior offering that broke the internet. Such a memorable fit required an equally memorable makeup look and this celebrity served a polished edge that gave a nod to the experimental nature of the 2024 beauty space. Featuring thick smokey eyes accompanied by glossy lips and soft blush, the doll-up added an unmissable charm to her iconic ensemble.
Elsewhere, LeToya Luckett hosted the Black Music Honors and seized the opportunity to score style points with not one, but four high-octane outfits, enlivened with makeup looks that added to the pump of her offerings. In the interest of time and space, we’ll put the spotlight on the intriguing face beat that accompanied her bronze statement Demi Blvck “Lena” dress with elaborate sleeves. Considering the outfit made a loud statement, Luckett favored a calm makeup look to balance the attention-grabbing number. Here, lightly filled brows danced in unison with neutral lips, smokey eyes, and witchy lashes for a look that was both chic and sassy.
Hairstyles
In recent times, it has become almost like a habit for a celebrity to make a case for the “sexy wet beauty look” on the red carpet. Last week saw Naomi Campbell take the trend for a spin, and she scored 10 with a sleek, laid-back hairstyle amped up with the wet aesthetic that lent a sensual flair to her coordination.
