It’s the shoes that really set the tone for an outfit, whether it’s heels or lace up flats,” says the Brazilian model. Finish the look with a mini clutch for evening essentials: “lipstick, concealer, gum and my phone. I really try and keep it edited—what else does a girl really need?”

My Cannes routine always involves some kind of exercise, especially if I’ve come in from a different time zone—nothing beats jet lag better than a good work out. I’ll usually wake up super early and head off to the gym or do sprints to raise my heart rate—you have to squeeze it in first thing or else the day just takes over.

“I always opt for something new, simple and sexy. For me, it’s really important to keep things easy and not too fussy—you want to be as relaxed as possible so you can enjoy yourself.”

On the day of the red carpet I start with a skin glow facial. Then it’s time for hair and make-up. My go-to look really focuses on skin: you want to keep it natural, but radiant. I then keep everything else fairly low-key, but I’ll always have a slick of black eyeliner to define the eyes. You have to remember that it takes a team of professionals to nail a perfect red-carpet look—hair, make-up, styling, it’s a whole process.
