Cannes 2022, the most popular suite for stars on the Croisette

The most loyal guest? Probably Sharon Stone. The most hilarious vip? Bill Murray. The most demanding visitors? The Kardashians, of course.

Nathalie Dubois, the woman who has been pampering stars for decades before the big events he met them all, absolutely everyone, from Richard Gere to Pamela Anderson and by now he knows their needs, desires and even whims. From the Oscars to the Grammyssets up the highly sought after The DPA Suitea treasure chest that holds beauty secrets (as well as beauty trends) before an important red carpet.

To the Cannes Film Festivalas usual, this year too it brought a preview of trends from all over the world to immerse celebrities in an even more exclusive and glamorous atmosphere.

From sake made in Japan by Takanome revisited on a two centuries old recipe to cashmere from Mongolia of creations Grapes (a newborn German brand founded by a very young designer with Salento blood in her veins): the proposals are varied to say the least and each, in its own way, exotic.

Not just sequins and sequins, however, this design and beauty paradise also welcomed a Ukrainian designer who transformed the flag of her country into a dress to be worn by the stars of the Festival.

Suffice it to say that the sportsman Tony Parker has become an ambassador of a now widespread ritual in Hollywood, with refreshing and detox vitamin drinks (Smart Good Drink) which then help small community entrepreneurship.

The focus this year is Kenya, with particular attention to women’s brands that reinvent beauty by declining it in a green dimension, combining modernity and tradition. Just scroll through the names of their brand’s lipsticks Canvas Cosmetics to understand that we are serious here. From Boss lady to Empire, it sounds like a Glamazon anthem (as Ru Paul would say) for the empowerment of women. Created five years ago by Sonal Haria, who at the time only had big dreams in front of a PC and a cappuccino in a bar with wifi, the project is inclusive, vegan and cruelty free. Beloved not only at home, but also in the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom, has already conquered the stars of the Croisette.

Not surprising at all why VIPs are only looking for new ideas, niche products and special treatments to shine on the treadmill and stand out from the glitter of others.

There are also those, like the American jewelry designer Helen Ficalorahas decided to bring the Hampton atmosphere to the French Riviera with the Montauk Bloom fragrance, an all-pink ode to its origins to take with you everywhere, from gala dinners to daily appointments.

It totally changes hemisphere with Naked Sundaysa transparent and antioxidant serum from Australia that combines skincare and sun protection with a special brush. In short, practicality and brilliance come together for a beauty found that in the first week of the festival has already received a lot of acclaim.

Self-care on the Croisette passes through a series of habits that the stars are the first to resist. And – contrary to what one might think – they let themselves be tempted by French specialties such as those of Maison Manival, which boasts real gourmet boutiques in exclusive locations. From personalized champagne DN to pashminas Petrusse also made in collaboration with the most prestigious artistic institutions, from the Louvre to the Opera de Paris, every detail is cared for with painstaking attention and refers to the French atmosphere in all its essence, at various latitudes, such as Lothantiquewhich offers a sensory journey to Provence with its fragrances.

The triumph of beauty and wellness is one of the cornerstones of Hollywood Olympus which nevertheless does not disdain that refined European touch. Often the gods of cinema descend among mere mortals to appreciate their natural riches. In fact, it is the ocean that inspired the French doctor Virginie Mathran who, with her husband, created an eco-sustainable line, Biosalineswith natural ingredients, from algae to spirulina, to help the skin find its balance and shine with its own light, drawing on the treasures of the earth and the sea.

For the first time at the Festival, it also comes from Japan what has become the obsession of the stars on the Croisette, the massage by Saori Yoshimura from Kogao Magician. In fifteen minutes the facialist manipulates the scalp and restores the symmetry of the facial features to a natural harmony. It sounds like something miraculous but each session of her patented technique has the ability to plump and firm, bringing out natural beauty.

The beauty paradise populated by movie stars, in short, has no more secrets (or almost).
