Beauty Marks: The Best Beauty Looks of the Week
Another week of Cannes Film Festival and the cruise 2027 shows brought out beauty looks that made the most of the brief summer sun.
Reported by Vogue.
Cannes Film Festival 2026 delivered the kind of beauty moments that make you screenshot first and ask questions later. According to Vogue, this week's standout looks leaned hard into celestial skin, dimensional color, and the kind of craftsmanship that doesn't happen by accident — it happens when truly exceptional artists get great subjects to work with.
Ruth Negga was the obvious headliner. Paired with vintage Ossie Clark, her look was handled by makeup artist Mélanie Inglessis — a specialist in skin that reads like light filtered through silk — and hairstylist Marcia Hamilton, who constructed an intricate braided half-up style that felt as considered as couture. Meanwhile, Kristine Froseth arrived with a prep routine that was essentially its own event: facialist Kasha Malyckyj of Syla Skin used lymphatic drainage and sculpting massage, working in the Cocoon Ceramide Cream (an Olivia Dean favorite, apparently), before makeup artist Zoe Taylor built a '90s-inflected Armani Beauty finish on top of that glowing foundation. Hair by David Von Cannon: straight, sleek, unbothered.
Beyond the Croisette
Outside Cannes, the week still delivered. The Gucci cruise 2027 show took over Times Square, with makeup artist Sam Visser conceptualizing a maximalist face — Bold Glamour-filter lashes, lacquered lips, razor contour, and aggressively thin brows — that managed to feel editorial rather than costume. Chloë Sevigny headed to the Louis Vuitton cruise 2027 show in a sensual look co-created by makeup artist Julian Wolfstoller and hairstylist Joey George. And Shygirl showed up in copper corkscrew curls by hair artist Moiselle de Pinto Moreira, with multi-dimensional highlight work by Luz Giraldo that deserves its own Pinterest board.
The week also had quieter wins: a golden blonde color reboot for Bella Hadid courtesy of colorist Jacob Schwartz, glossy baby bangs and a full Dior Beauty face on Taylor Russell by makeup artist Zaheer Sukhnandan and hairstylist Hyungsun Ju, and an iced blonde side sweep paired with a shimmering gradient lip on Bellah, executed by makeup artist Lake Sanu and hairstylist Valorè.
The throughline across all of it: the era of flat, one-note beauty is over — skin that looks lived-in, color with depth, and highlight placed like punctuation is what's actually moving right now.
