The Cannes Red Carpet Face-Off: How French vs. American Actresses 
On this, the first day of Cannes, we find ourselves craning our necks toward the Côte d’Azur. Each year, the film festival elicits a lineup of bold beauty looks—while allowing a rare glimpse into the unspoken philosophies of two culturally distinct red carpet worlds. In one camp: the Americans, a lineup of Hollywood powerhouses like Emma Stone and Natalie Portman, who turn to high-impact, high-volume hair and makeup for the occasion; in the other, their French counterparts, a group of equally glamorous actresses whose artful beauty is marked by a certain undone insouciance.
A quick case study of each demographic is enough to clarify the distinction. In recent years, Gallic femmes like Mélanie Laurent and Aymeline Valade have embraced air-dried blonde waves, nearly natural pink lips, great skin, and simple swipes of mascara for their premieres. The same can be said of Marine Vacth, Adèle Exarchopoulos, and Charlotte Gainsbourg, who elevate rumpled brunette lengths with generally bare faces and an attitude of nonchalance.
It’s a laid-back beauty that’s only highlighted by the slick, glossy allure of their American peers. Blake Lively can always be counted on to work the bombshell factor of her signature mane, whether pulled back into a statement ponytail and paired with kohl-rimmed eyes and oversize earrings or pressed into brushed silver screen waves. Rooney Mara’s well-executed gothic girl beauty relies on sharply shaded lids and a purposeful updo, and Emma Stone’s all-American charm is heightened by a tousled chignon and flushed, rosy cheeks.
With this year’s festivities about to go into full swing, here are a few of our favorite French versus American beauty moments from recent years at Cannes.
