Dior’s Secret Beauty Suite At Cannes Is A Celebrity Hot Spot

Starting with Natalie Portman

The red carpet isn’t the only place to spot a star at the Cannes Film Festival. Each year, Dior Beauty opens its Dior Suite on the 6th floor of Le Majestic Hotel, an iconic hotel set on the doorstep of the festival’s red carpet.

The hotel is a celebrity hot-spot. Overlooking the Mediterranean and (more importantly at this time of year) the star-studded Palais des Festivals’ red carpet, the hotel is a hive of activity during the film festival.

Security is tight getting into the Majestic because, well, you are very likely to run into a star like Natalie Portman walking through in the lobby. But once you do get inside the hotel and take the elevator to level six, the Dior Suite is a sanctuary.

For the entire festival, A-listers have been making a beeline to the suite for a moment of refined pampering before their call time. Guests this year have have included Natalie Portman, Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence.

Boasting 350 square meters, the 6th floor space is transformed into a dedicated beauty hub for the cream of the film industry. Inside the discrete doors, celebrities can get facials (performed by UK-based celebrity facialist Hadda Akrim), Dior makeup looks created by the Dior Pro Makeup team, and red carpet-worthy hair by Dyson Beauty.

The A-listers Who Visited The Dior Beauty Suite This Year

Every year the space charms guests with a new theme. In 2025, the theme is based around Dioriviera. The walls have been encased in natural sisal and rattan and towering animal sculptures have been wrapped in woven fibre, which gives a magical and welcoming feel for guests.

And the guests have been impressive.
