Loading @festivaldecannes red carpet moments

I didn’t wait for the moment; I became it.

Proud to wear Irish design on one of the world’s most iconic stages.

This piece by @geraldine.omeara.designs is a true reflection of craftsmanship —
from the intricate detailing to the sculpted silhouette,
to that soft golden tone that catches the light with every step.

It’s not just beautiful ; it’s intentional.
Strong, elegant, and quietly powerful.

💄Being a hair&makeup artist in Cannes is an incomparable feeling. 💫💫💫
The exhaustion that all makeup artists share is immense, as everyone gives their all.
But I’m bringing back with me inspiration: the luxurious landscapes, the beautiful people, the stunning beauty of Maksuda, on whose face creating different looks always a delight…
👗the flawless dresses of Geraldine, @geraldine.omeara.designs 💕💫

Everyone sees the final pictures and videos, but I want to show you a little of backstage. 📹♥️
Hours of red carpet prep in just a few seconds.:
The plan was a high ponytail and bold makeup to match the gown—a masterpiece💫 of @clairegarveydesigner_ that needed makeup as part of the art.🔥
Also The makeup had to last through heat, sweat, rain, and still breathe—just like the hair. But while lacing the gown (not a quick task), we realized the ponytail didn’t suit the collar. With no time and a Zoom interview happening, I had 15 minutes to completely redo the hair. It added pressure, but thankfully, it turned out great.
After the interview, final photos was sent to the photographers @wu.photo.video , PR manager @annalaverypr and dressmaker,
then rushed through traffic and heat to the Red carpet ..
The result speaks for itself. 🤩
Maksuda is incredibly talented at posing—making any gown stunning, turning heads. She truly brings that wow factor to every appearances!🔥🔥🔥

This bespoke gown, designed especially for me by the incredibly talented Irish designer @geraldine.omeara.designs for the @festivaldecannes , was a celebration of elegance, craftsmanship and individuality.

Every detail was thoughtfully created, while @marimar_mua Mariya brought the entire vision to life with exceptional hair and makeup.

It was an honour to wear Irish creativity on one of the world’s most prestigious red carpets and to represent our talented designers with pride.

Thank you, Geraldine and Mariya, for helping create a look I’ll never forget. 🇮🇪

Confidence isn’t about wearing luxury ; it’s about how you carry yourself.

Walking into the iconic @hotelbarrierelemajestic during the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, I wanted every step to reflect confidence, elegance and purpose.

I’m proud to wear and promote Irish millinery by @fiona_rafter_millinery Designs on one of the world’s most prestigious stages, proving that Irish craftsmanship belongs wherever excellence is celebrated.

Because true style isn’t what you wear.
It’s the way you wear it.

Some journeys don't begin with a title.

They begin with courage.

Meet Maksuda Akhter 👑 — a woman whose story stretches from Bangladesh to Dublin, carrying with it resilience, determination, and an unwavering belief in herself.

A qualified pilot. Ms Ireland 2014. Ms Earth International 2016. The first Asian-Irish cover model. A judge. A coach. An author.

Each title represents more than an achievement—it represents broken barriers and doors opened for others.

Her journey wasn't always easy. She faced criticism, prejudice, and moments that could have silenced her. Instead, she chose to stand taller.

That is exactly why Maksuda belongs in EVOLVE Magazine's August 2026 edition: Her Crown. Her Story.

This 15th August – Indian Independence Day – EVOLVE brings together remarkable Irish and Indian women whose stories deserve to be seen, heard, and remembered.

Maksuda's story reminds us that true strength isn't measured by the challenges you face—it's measured by your decision to keep moving forward.

Welcome to EVOLVE, Maksuda. We are honoured. 🇮🇳🇮🇪✨

If you are a pageant queen, contestant, or a woman with a story worth telling—our DMs are open.

Her Crown. Her Story. August 15, 2026.

One of the things that brings me the greatest joy is being able to support independent Irish designers and small businesses.

This beautiful headpiece by @fiona_rafter_millinery accompanied me from Ireland to the Cannes Film Festival, proving that extraordinary craftsmanship can come from small, passionate businesses with big dreams.

I am always proud to wear and promote Irish creativity on international platforms. 🇮🇪
