Nestled within the opulent Majestic Hotel, this sought-after VIP lounge became the go-to destination for stars like Charlize Theron and Jennifer Lawrence, whether they were preparing for the red carpet or daytime photo calls.
Upon entering the Dior Suite, VIP visitors were greeted by captivating images of the sun and a magnificent lion sculpture crafted from shells in the lobby. The suite overlooked the Palais and its iconic red carpet, where the ambiance was electric.
Notable events like the world premiere of “Furiosa” garnered seven-minute standing ovations, adding to the festival’s excitement. Throughout the festival, Dior’s beauty suite played host to renowned makeup artists, ensuring that celebrities looked their absolute best for their various appearances.

For this year’s opening ceremony on May 14, Belgian actress Emilie Dequenne, French actress and comedian Camille Cottin, and French actress Valerie Donzelli all had their makeup done by Dior.
The seamless integration of fashion and film is an inherent characteristic of festivals like Cannes, and beauty plays a crucial role in this dynamic relationship. Every year, Dior creates an enchanting ambiance within its beauty suite, bringing together a team of A-list makeup artists, hairdressers, facialists, and nail artists.
Spanning over 3,000 square feet, this year’s suite was designed around the theme of Toile de Jouy, one of Dior’s signature designs. With shell accents and bamboo and raffia furniture, the space exuded a beach vibe, perfectly complementing the breathtaking view of the Mediterranean Sea.
