she has been a regular Cannes festival attendee and has even been invited a jury in Cannes film festival during her beginning years, a massive change on her image post delivery dint stop her from setting the trend of last year. Although purple lipstick dint suit her, creating bold statements are a part of her outfit, playing safe with black / white and neutral colors, with classic navy blue, teal and magenta are colors we spot her more than twice. If you are excited to see her at Cannes this year like me HI-FI.
