FROW News #98 – Your Weekly Fashion, Beauty & Culture Fix 💄🍓🔥
Hey FROW Fam! 💋✨Cannes is serving up all the glitz, drama, and jaw-dropping fashion we crave, and this year, L’Oréal Paris is at the heart of it all, celebrating empowered beauty and unstoppable women. From Alia Bhatt’s dazzling debut as global ambassador to Eva Longoria and Andie MacDowell’s milestone moments with the brand, it’s a red carpet takeover radiating confidence, diversity, and main character energy.
But the fashion headlines don’t stop there. With whispers of a new Cannes dress code swirling, icons like Heidi Klum and Eva Longoria are rewriting the rules in statement trains and bold silhouettes that won’t be ignored. Best-dressed lists are bursting with Riviera glamour, thanks to fearless looks from Rihanna, Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence, and more.
And behind the flashbulbs? Women are making waves as storytellers, too. Kristen Stewart and Scarlett Johansson premiered their directorial debuts, while L’Oréal’s “Lights on Women’s Worth Award” is spotlighting rising female filmmakers. Cannes 2025 is all about women owning the moment — on screen, behind the scenes, and on every red carpet step.
In pop culture news, the mastermind behind the 2016 Kim Kardashian Paris robbery has officially been found guilty, closing a dramatic chapter in celeb history. With buzzy new beauty drops, influencer takeovers, and films led by powerhouse women, this week’s all about fearless self-expression and the stories that shake things up.
