There are a few beauty suites in Cannes, and they are lovely but, in all honesty, there are none like the Dior Beauty Suite that’s housed in the Majestic Hotel. From the warm welcome you receive at reception, to the ambience, and the kind-hearted hospitality of the Dior Beauty team, one feels most welcome. The suite is back again this year in their usual 6th floor haven that overlooks the turquoise blue Mediterranean Sea and the red carpet of the festival. The suite is a symbol of how fashion and film are in an inseparable marriage of glamour, beauty, and prestige.
This year festival stars from Juliette Binoche (the Cannes Film Festival Jury President), Leïla Slimani, Natalie Portman, and Lebanese actress Razane Jammal have been red carpet prepped by Dior Beauty. In past years Dior ambassadors from Charlize Theron, Anya Taylor-Joy, Johnny Depp, and Robert Pattinson have had their makeup done in the suite. Camille Cottin, Raphaël Quenard, Carla Bruni and Lucien Laviscount have been spotted there too.

Every festival there is a theme that revolves around Dior’s Toile de Jouy aesthetic and this year is no different. The décor in the 3,700+ square foot suite is inspired by the Dioriviera collection. In the entry model animals from giraffes and elephants from natural materials of sisal and rattan, and plants from palms, cacti, and lush plants are made of wicker. Dior’s Toile de Jouy print in midnight blue are scattered throughout the suite on pillows and cushioning.
The suite is more than just makeup, skincare is a main part as well. The Dior facialist team offers massages and flash facial treatments. Under the direction of Hadda Akrim, a Dior Global Wellness Expert who co-created the Kobi-Dior treatment that’s based on his unique figure-8 massage (8 being Mr. Dior’s favorite number). Akrim is known for his holistic method and ultra-targeted techniques, which keep celebrities like Kate Hudson coming back.

The makeup room is a thriving place run by Dior Pro Makeup team members Junior Cedeno, Norman Pohl, Jamie Coombes, Ricky Wilson and Sarbast Gli; and international makeup artists Ruby Mazuel, Yacine Diallo and Kristina Vidic. Using Dior Beauty’s wide array of makeup products by Peter Philips, the Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup there is no shortage of styles that celebrities can trust their make-up artists to give them. There is also a manicure station with products from the Dior Vernis line. And, Dior Beauty has partnered with Dyson Beauty to create a hairstyling space with personalized experiences with the latest Dyson innovations including the Dyson Airwrap™ i.d. multi-styler, Dyson Supersonic r™ hair dryer, and the Dyson Chitosan styling range.
Because the JW Marriott Hotel on the Croisette is also a key spot for the festival’s goings on and because Dior has a relationship with La Terrasse by Albane, the brand has set up a makeup room on the rooftop, where key people can get their make-up touched up prior to interviews and photo shoots.
