Eight-hour flight: New York > Nice. Then straight from the airport to dress & jewelry fittings plus hair & makeup...Finally, it's time to relax and watch a film! I'm beyond happy and so thankful to the dream team that helped me the entire way through!
Cannes Film Festival is an event that brings together the best of fashion and film, so for me it's like being part of the most glamorous, international crowd on earth...for multiple days! While the traffic can get hectic at times, you experience so many incredible moments that make you forget just how long getting from place to place can be, haha.
I've participated in Cannes Film Festival and other events for many years now, but I still get nervous before I step onto the red carpet for anything. These days, though, I find that I'm able to walk through the crowds more confidently and give even brighter smiles to the photographers. Because I understand more than ever how everyone has been working so hard - whether they're the teams preparing me, the photographers waiting patiently behind the stands, or those responsible for producing the event itself - I know giving everyone my best "performance" is the most beneficial thing I can do. So staying positive, confident, and appreciative is probably my best way to self-prepare!
