Only in Cannes does the glam happen in the most glamorous setting.

For the 79th installment of the film festival, Dior has opened doors to a suite on the Majestic Hotel’s sixth floor where, from May 12-23, the house’s team of beauty experts are on hand to help celebrities prep for their respective red carpet appearances.

Last year, the Dior Suite hosted such stars as Natalie Portman, Robert Pattinson, Jennifer Lawrence, Ryo Yoshizawa, Nicole Wallace, Harriet Herbig-Matten, Razane Jammal, Nadia Tereszkiewicz. But this year’s VIPs will be greeted by new views. The Dior Suite in Cannes is freshly customized year after year, and for 2026, the interiors drew from multiple inspirations.

The color scheme in shades of white and sky blue evokes a scene just steps away — the French Riviera — and striped patterns give a beach resort feel. To add flair the walls, there is a gallery of characters dressed for a masked ball, which is said to be a nod to the art of film costume design inspired by illustrations done by French artist and fashion illustrator Christian Bérard, who had done work for house founder Christian Dior.

Monsieur Dior’s handwritten signature has also been added to accentuate the space along with wickerwork shells. Also inside is an old-fashioned tent in the center of the first reception room — a “room within a room,” if you will — that features the same pattern adorned with the Dior Masquerade motif. Steps away, a main reception room offers privacy, palm tree lamps, a white sofa and armchairs positioned towards the terrace with sea views.

Back to the beauty: Dior offers massages and flash facial treatments carried out by house experts in a treatment room. This year’s roster includes U.S. house ambassador Sarah Akram and Dior global wellness expert Hadda Akrim. The makeup room is led by Dior Backstage professionals like Norman Pohl, Jamie Coombes, Junior Cedeno, Ricky Wilson, Serby Gil and international makeup artists including Aurore Gautier, Kristina Vidic, Ruby Mazuel, Khela, Phophie Matthias, Christina Lutz, Carole Hannah and Alexandra Schiavi using collections designed by Dior Makeup creative and image director Peter Philips.

A nail bar for manicures and nail care is fully stocked with the Dior Vernis line. And something for the men: Barber and Dior Sauvage grooming ambassador Brice Tchaga will take care of their looks with his signature beard and hair grooming routine that cleanses, calms and energizes. It’s good timing, too, as Dior recently launched Sauvage shampoo and hair serum products to its wildly popular men’s line fronted by Johnny Depp.

Dior and Dyson Beauty continue their collaboration in Cannes (under the direction of Dyson ambassador Pierre Saint-Sever) with a spotlight on products like the iconic Dyson Supersonic r™ hair dryer, travel-format hair products and formulations, and a new addition with the handheld fan called the HushJet Mini Cool.
