For more than half a century, cinephiles and silver screen darlings have flocked to the Cannes Film Festival, which kicked off yesterday, to debut the year’s biggest films. Wardrobe choices have run the gamut throughout the festival’s 67 years—who can forget the epicene effect of Aymeline Valade’s Pallas tuxedo, worn at last year’s premiere of the Saint Laurent biopic with her freshly platinum dye job?—while hair and makeup have tread a similarly versatile line between glamour and ease.
Perhaps it was Elizabeth Taylor, with her glittering diamond tiara, who started the festival’s tradition of decorative hair accessories in 1957—followed by Catherine Deneuve’s white headband and Sophia Loren’s slim-brimmed hat. In 1974, Jane Birkin brought a distinctively French insouciance to the red carpet with natural makeup and air-dried hair that felt like a sign of the times—a tactic her daughter, Charlotte Gainsbourg, embraced following her election to the 2001 Cannes jury nearly 30 years later with a fresh complexion heightened by a tangle of natural waves.
In makeup, Brigitte Bardot’s artful flick of black liner paved the way for a number of sultry eye moments—from Penélope Cruz’s kohl-rimmed gaze to Palme d’Or prizewinner Léa Seydoux’s smoky gray shadow. That’s not to say that minimalism hasn’t made a memorable impact: A late-nineties Kate Moss needed only a swipe of red lipstick (and Johnny Depp on her arm) to look photo-ready, and last year, Lupita Nyong’o amped up just one spectacular asset: her supernatural skin.
