The Cannes Film Festival has returned to the French Riviera, and the red carpet is once again buzzing with celebrity style and beauty. Now in its 78th edition, the festival is not only showcasing upcoming films but also setting the tone for the season’s fashion and beauty trends.
Among the first stars to make a statement was Eva Longoria, who arrived with elegance and confidence. The actress and director, representing L’Oréal, made her presence known from day one. Known for recent projects like her travel docuseries Eva Longoria: Searching for Spain and the comedy Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip, Longoria stepped into Cannes ready to impress.
She wore a nude spaghetti-strap gown with a sleek, sculptural silhouette and shimmering sequins. The dress was minimalist in tone, but her bold beauty choices created a striking contrast. Her hair was styled in a glossy slicked-back “wet look,” with a few loose strands softening the effect. Her makeup featured glowing skin and a vivid red lip, described as a “lip combo” that added volume and drama.
Longoria’s glam team, Harold James and Stéphane Lancien, crafted the look. Just hours after her arrival, she was back on the red carpet for the Festival’s Opening Ceremony. This time, she chose a nude haute couture gown by Tamara Ralph, detailed with mirrored elements and black side panels that highlighted its dramatic hourglass shape. She completed the outfit with diamond earrings and a bold choker, creating a powerful and polished look.
Eva Longoria’s appearances in Cannes reaffirm her status as both a red carpet regular and a modern beauty icon. Blending timeless elegance with fresh, trend-forward elements, she continues to set the style standard at one of cinema’s most prestigious events.
