Cannes 2011: red carpet hair and beauty

The 63rd annual Cannes Film Festival kicked off yesterday and the stakes are already high for red carpet glamour.


Both Uma Thurman and Aishwarya Rai opted for simple updos, perfect for the searing summer heat currently hitting the sunny seaside French town.


These effortless updos are the ideal accompaniment for a couture cocktail gown - ideal for dressing down the look slightly for a daytime-appropriate but still super-glam look.

Old-school Hollywood glamour is always a red carpet hit and nothing says vintage allure like perfectly formed curls - preferably swept over to one side for a sophisticated Veronica Lake-feel.


For the first day of Cannes, three leading ladies opted for polished, glossy curls although each styled the look rather differently.


Supermodel Karolina Kurkova styled her mid-length blonde bob into short, springy cuyls, pinned back behind one ear for a slightly retro feel.


Mexican actress Salma Hayek opted for a real va-va-voom vintage style - long, loose barrel curls with oodles of shine swept over to one side.


Finally, actress Rachel McAdams paired her stunning red lace Marchesa gown with elegant blonde waves and a softly styled fringe teased over one eye.
