The beauty circuit blazed on in the South of France, with the final week of the Cannes Film Festival drawing out the brightest stars in show-stopping style. Black women, in particular, delivered a dizzying array of beauty moments, each one bold enough to rival the heat of the approaching summer months. From silver screen sirens to iconic models and chart-topping musicians, the red carpet shimmered with familiar faces who made it clear: their talent wasn’t the only thing commanding headlines.
Of course, the French Riviera wasn’t the sole stage for glamour. While some lit up Cannes, others brought that same radiant energy to major cities around the globe—all with the same mission: to shine. Whether it was Keke Palmer making waves in Los Angeles or Leomie Anderson turning heads in London, the past week was packed with jaw-dropping beauty trends we’re already bookmarking for summer 2025.
The Looks
Makeup
If there’s one beauty trend we’ll be doubling down on come summer 2025, it’s blush draping—and celebrities are already showing us exactly how it’s done. At the Cannes Film Festival, the legendary Naomi Campbell gave the look her signature flair, serenading us with that evergreen sass. The supermodel and mother of two opted for an effortlessly radiant beat: soft brows, smoldering smoky eyes, and glossy lips. But it was the bold sweep of blush that sealed the deal, highlighting her girlish charm and adding a fresh, flirty edge to the look.
Meanwhile, across the pond, on the cover of S Moda magazine, Ayo Edebiri cast a spell with her captivating gaze. In one of the shots captured by AB+DM Studio, the actress stunned in a barely-there glam that let her natural beauty take center stage. Amid soft neutral tones, she leaned into drama with witchy lashes and a pop of white liner along the waterline—an ethereal touch that made her eyes shimmer with quiet intensity. The result? A masterclass in understated elegance.
Hairstyle
Keke Palmer set hearts ablaze last week with a burnt orange double ponytail that was nothing short of show-stopping. Voluminous, curly, and unapologetically fierce, the center-parted style was a bold burst of color—and a vibrant addition to the beauty trends we’ll be chasing come summer 2025.
