For la montée des marches, as the Cannes red carpet leading up to the Palais des Festivals is known, a league of exceptional women of all origins steps up for L’Oréal Paris. From across continents and cultures, our actress icons plus ambassadors from the worlds of music, fashion and activism, unite to represent the beauty of diversity on this world stage. For L’Oréal Paris, there is no one form of beauty, and Cannes becomes a living expression of our modern beauty vision.
Celebrating the women behind the actresses
Beyond the red carpet, L’Oréal Paris goes live in Cannes: gathering actresses, media and film industry players in 10 days of workshops, interviews and exchanges. Driving change through the festival’s global reach, these events champion the women behind the actresses, the challenges on the road to success and the empowering role beauty plays.
A festival for all

True to the brand’s inclusive spirit, L’Oréal Paris opens up the Cannes experience, inviting fans to go behind-the-scenes of the festival.

Both live audiences in Cannes itself, and millions online.
Red carpet beauty for everyone
With our makeup maverick Val Garland and hair guru Stéphane Lancien revealing the step-by-step of their red carpet looks, showstopping beauty can be instantly recreated.

Because “All women are worth it”.
