Street Style: Cannes
RIVIERA REPLAY
Undone Glamour, Street-Level Cool
Beyond the premieres and photocalls, Cannes tells a different fashion story on the streets. Hood asked street style photographer James Mclaren to capture a day in the life of the Croisette — no filters, no fanfare. Think gauzy linen, clean silhouettes, tiny bags and oversized sunglasses. This is Riviera dressing, relaxed and genuinely wearable.
Silk & Shine
Silky slips in oyster white and inky black, micro bags and statement earrings bring effortless sex appeal to the streets of Cannes. It’s glamour pared back to its most fluid, feminine form.
Blush Move
Tailored but flirty, this oversized blush blazer over a satin mini feels fresh and directional. Add barely there heels and sculptural earrings for French-girl polish.
Cool Contrast
A bold collar makes the statement, but it’s the mix of crisp white tailoring and wide-leg denim that grounds this look in real-world cool. Effortlessly retro, seriously wearable.
Dot Dot Chic
Summer softness with ruffled white cotton and retro polka dots. A masterclass in simplicity.
Staying Neutral
Layering soft neutral over soft neutral is always super fresh in summer’s sunshine.
Where to stay when style matters
Discover two scene-setting Cannes bases — one for the cool girls, the other for classic glamour seekers.
MOB Hotels – Cannes Carnot
Cool Girl Basecamp
Just a flip-flop’s flick from the action, MOB Cannes is the low-key-luxe launchpad for those who prefer their Riviera break with more edge and less attitude. Think rooftop aperitifs, vinyl-spinning DJs, and interiors that wouldn’t look out of place in Brooklyn. Perfect for fashion girls who favour eclectic over expected. Rooms are chilled, staff are cooler, and you’re close enough to the centre to swan in and out as you please.
Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic + La Plage Le Ciro’s
Old-School Glam, Reimagined
For those chasing that postcard-perfect Cannes fantasy, Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic delivers — from its immaculate suites to its palm-fringed private beach. But the real story this summer? The newly unveiled Le Ciro’s restaurant at La Plage. It’s Riviera elegance with a modern twist — all sea views, barefoot decadence, and seafood so fresh it might flirt back. Book a table, ditch the heels, and linger long after lunch.
Scottish Style, Global Stage
Every year, the International Film Festival Glasgow (IFFG) hosts a vibrant networking event during the Cannes Film Festival—an opportunity to connect with the international filmmaking community and champion Scotland’s growing creative industries.
This year, IFFG spotlighted Scottish brands we love, including IOLLA sunglasses, C.Nicol bags, and Revivre swimwear—bringing a touch of Scottish style to the French Riviera.
Back home, IFFG takes place in November in Glasgow, with a dynamic programme of screenings, panels, and workshops. The festival is known for platforming first feature filmmakers, celebrating female directors, and exploring the bold vision of Eastern European cinema.
