The chignon, sure bet of the red carpet in Cannes

Faced with naturalness and loose hair, the chignon regains its luster and offers variations to regain its leading position on the red carpet. The proof with this 74th edition of the Cannes Film Festival.

The chignon, a safe bet on the red carpet in Cannes

On the red carpet, there are clearly two sides. Those that aim for naturalness, with loose lengths, sometimes allowing themselves a more rock accent with a wet and flattened effect on the back. And then there is the clan of ties. If the ponytail and the braid had relegated the bun to the rank of classic a little too seen, the latter has not said its last word. Especially on the occasion of this Cannes Film Festival which celebrates the rebirth of glamor and festivities after months of gloom and health crisis.

Proof? We have seen it on many heads and in very varied variations. From the eccentric option (the braided version of Coco Rocha) to the ultra-natural version of Mélanie Laurent, day one. But the trend seems clear: if you dare the bun, you might as well go all out. Celebrities (or rather their hairstylist) are turning up the volume. We braid, we twist, we crepe, we cheat... In any case, it has to be seen. From Déborah François to Bella Hadid, follower of the genre, there are no half measures.

The more sober but equally glamorous option? The chignon bun placed at the top of the skull. Clotilde Courau and Natasha Poly could not resist its attraction. And for those who like to play on the details, it's all about the forehead: Isabeli Fontana bets on a very retro notched effect while Luma Grothe has chosen a short fringe that changes everything.
