Red carpet hair for one of the world’s most watched stages.
James Lear brought his craft to the French Riviera, styling Leonie Hanne and Holly Scarfone for appearances at the Cannes Film Festival.
Against the backdrop of one of fashion and film’s most prestigious events, James created hair to work as part of each individual’s complete red-carpet identity — considered alongside the fashion, silhouette and character of the look.
For James, these moments demand more than a flawless finish. Hair needs to hold its own from every angle, complementing rather than competing with the fashion while delivering the polish and presence demanded by the world’s cameras.
From Leonie’s established high-fashion aesthetic to Holly’s statement-making red-carpet appearance, each required an individual response rather than a signature style imposed upon them.
It’s an approach central to James’ craft: understand the character. Refine the details. Elevate the whole.
Cannes adds another global stage to a growing body of work spanning fashion, editorial, events and some of the industry’s most recognisable names.
Two personalities. Two looks. One world stage.
