This year's Festival de Cannes brought us a red carpet and lots of slayage from some of our faves. While the list of films premiering this year was exciting, the looks on the red carpet were WOW-worthy. Stars like Naomi Campbell, Lupta Nyong'o and Joan Smalls were giving nothing but #goals and #inspo! Below are our favorite queens on the red carpet:
NAOMI CAMPBELL

Model Winnie Harlow sported a smokey eye with green liner on her waterline and a fresh, lightly glossy pink lip on the red carpet to the premier of BlacKkKlansman. Harlow’s hair was bone straight for the evening and it went well with her off-the-shoulder Ralph and Russo Spring 2018 dress that showed off her long modelesque legs.

As we're sure you already know, Lupita slayed the red carpet at Cannes as she floated by in her white, sleeveless, high neckline dress. Nyong’o wore a berry lip, eyeshadow and a bold eyeliner look. She mastered the mix of an angelic dress with a bold beat for the evening.

JOAN SMALLS

Her bright liner was a great contrast for her outfit of choice for the evening — a white, satin bralette with a big bow that covered her chest and a matching high-waisted satin skirt.

Actress Aja Naomi King wore a stunning Pamela Roland pre-Fall 2018 ruffled red dress that called for a makeup look to be just as stunning which King absolutely nailed — a burgundy lip and a gold line swiped across her eyelid. The How To Get Away With Murder star looked nothing short of amazing on the red carpet for the premiere of Ash Is Purest White.
LEOMIE ANDERSON

Her hair was parted down the middle and braided down towards the middle of her back. Her makeup for the evening consisted of a glossy lip, a summery orange eye shadow with a touch of glitter and a cat eye.
