Georgia Fowler glowed under the lights of the Festival de Cannes on Thursday night, arriving in a show-stopping gold ensemble for a late-evening premiere on the Croisette. The New Zealand-born model’s strapless sequin gown caught every flashbulb, while her sleek waves and luminous makeup sealed a perfect spring look on the Riviera.
Red Carpet Reveal
On her official Instagram channel, Fowler shared several snaps from the red carpet, tagging @festivaldecannes and the key members of her glam squad. She captioned the series: “@georgiafowler for @festivaldecannes ✨ #redcarpet Hair: @hoshounkpatin Make up: @makeupbykellymcclain @aframe_agency.” In the shots, she stands poised in a floor-length gold sequin dress that reflects both light and attention.
Meet The Glam Team
Hair stylist Hoshounk Patin sculpted Fowler’s side-parted waves, offering a modern yet timeless counterpoint to the glimmering fabric. Makeup artist Kelly McClain—credited on Instagram as @makeupbykellymcclain of AFrame Agency—gave Fowler a glowing finish, with soft bronze eyeshadow, highlighted cheekbones, and a nude lip that let the dress remain the focus.
McClain’s Cannes roster reads like a style roll call. Earlier in the week, she shared behind-the-scenes images styling model Toni Garrn at a festival screening, and crafting Joan Smalls’ metallic eye look at a gala event. Patin also lent his signature shine to Sabrina Elba’s glossy updo during a photo call, reinforcing their status as one of Cannes’s most in-demand beauty duos.
Echoes Of The Season
The collaboration between McClain and Patin is one of the defining style stories of this year’s festival. On Monday, McClain posted a palette of rosy dusk tones from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s Balenciaga moment; on Tuesday, Patin tagged shots of Shaniqua Shaik’s polished waves at the premiere of “Stories of Surrender.” Those posts mirror Fowler’s glowing moment, underscoring the team’s consistency across Cannes’s biggest gatherings.
Fowler, who rose to prominence after debuting on the cover of Elle Australia and walking international runways for Dior and Chanel, has a flair for turning out effortless yet impactful red-carpet looks. At Cannes, she shifted her usual neutral palette to full-on gold—an unexpected but welcome statement that fit the festival’s sun-soaked ambience.
Festival Fashion Essentials
Metallic tones and glowing skin are key trends this year on the Croisette. Fowler’s gold sequin gown picks up on a broader move toward mirrored fabrics and sculptural silhouettes, seen on stars from Julianne Moore to Isabelle Huppert. By anchoring her ensemble with neutral makeup and softly textured hair, she avoided the risk of tipping into over-the-top territory.
Following her Cannes debut, Fowler is set to attend industry panels and press screenings in the coming days. Her choice of a sequin gown hints at more bold styling decisions ahead—an evolution that will likely continue to blend modern cuts with classic finishes.
By teaming with Kelly McClain and Hoshounk Patin, Georgia Fowler embraced her festival plateau and showcased the power of a focused beauty partnership. A single standout outfit, paired with strategically glowing makeup and sculpted hair, proved more than enough to define a night on one of cinema’s most storied stages.
