cannes diary

In a flash of moments that flew in a blur, last week I traveled to the South of France for a series of dinners and parties surrounding Cannes film festival. I had less than five days to prepare my wardrobe upon confirmation for the trip, so I opted for a theme to narrow down my choices. Since Cannes is notoriously high gloss and sets the global stage for glamour, I packed an edited selection of floor length gowns and architectural heels along side punchy, statement florals. Of course, it was also a great excuse to wear Jacquemus’s ‘La Bomba’ collection.

While some things appear more glamorous online than what you see IRL – Cannes Film Festival is quite the exception. Between the surreal, sun soaked views and and star studded sightings, the festival felt like an adult version of prom, where guests are dressed in couture and formal wear all around the clock and dinner settings are elaborately produced on a large wedding-scale. Here are my highlights of the week, captured below.
