Cannes Film Festival’s premieres and closing ceremony might include some lesser known show biz folks and their guests, but they’re no less beautiful when they hit that red carpet. This year, Black women took to the event in all their natural beauty, with dewy faces, coily crowns, braids, and locs. Headwraps abound, paired with bright makeup and even brighter smiles.
These ladies might not have been starring in any of the films that debuted, but they surely shined.
