MIYUKI’s Trend Report: 7 Cannes 2025 Hair Moments You’ll Actually Wear

Miyuki interior

Here’s the thing. Red-carpet hair is great theatre, but most of it never survives Mumbai humidity or a Monday boardroom. Cannes 2025 was different. Fewer gimmicks, cleaner technique, and a surprising amount of wearable ideas. We did the homework and narrowed it to what will suit you best at MIYUKI.

What this really means is simple. If you want head-turning hair that still feels like you, these are the moves.


1) The Blonde Switch-Up, Done Glossy

Bella Hadid walked in and flipped the table by arriving honey blonde. Not a brassy jump, but a beige, light-reflective blonde crafted in two days by colorist Jacob Schwartz using Schwarzkopf demi shades. Translation for you: modern blonde that photographs like glass and grows out softly.

Angelina Jolie also returned to a lighter palette, and the point landed: blonde is back, but it’s controlled and healthy.

At MIYUKI: We match undertones to tone families that flatter Indian skin, then build dimension with low-contrast highlights and a gloss. If you’re nervous, start with face lights and a shine glaze.

2) Side Parts Stole The Crown

If you’ve been loyal to the middle part, Cannes quietly told you to cheat on it. Halle Berry wore a tousled, asymmetric bob with a decisive side part. Irina Shayk and Pom Klementieff followed suit with deep, gel-set parts. The vibe was adult, sculpted, and editorial without trying too hard.

At MIYUKI: We cut with your part in place. For fine hair, we add light layers on the fuller side so it sweeps without falling flat. For curls, we set the part on second-day hair and cut dry to keep the bounce.

3) Slick Buns and Power Ponies

The sleek bun had its victory lap. Zoe Saldaña’s slick-back, Irina Shayk’s high bun, and Barbara Palvin’s elevated pony were everywhere. No flyaways, no visible pins—just tight architecture and shine. Even Alessandra Ambrosio’s gravity-high pony kept its lift without crunch.

At MIYUKI: We build a humidity shield first, then finish with mirror polish only on the surface so it never looks greasy. For events, we anchor buns with invisible elastics and micro-pins so it sits clean for hours.

4) Wet, Glossy Texture Without The “Wet” Mess

Wet effect hair is risky. Too much and you look unwashed. Cannes nailed the brief. Cara Delevingne wore a wet finish with choppy bangs that felt deliberate and cool. Irina Shayk’s side-parted gel waves were liquid-sleek, not stiff. Think “done, then misted,” not “drenched.”

At MIYUKI: We layer a soft-hold gel with a flexible glossing serum, then set under cool air so it holds shape but stays touchable.

5) Accessories With A Brain

Diane Kruger revived the headband, pairing a satin band with vintage finger waves. The accessory didn’t scream “cute”; it framed the hair like jewelry. If bows and bands made you roll your eyes last season, consider this your upgrade path.

At MIYUKI: We stock minimal headbands, and if you want something custom for a sangeet or a black-tie night, we can place it during your blowout and lock it in for hours.

6) Texture Pride: Afros, Rope Braids, Real Curls

Naomi Campbell let a cloud-like Afro lead the look. Erin Kellyman wore long rope braids that read luxe, not festival. Cannes cemented what we already believe at MIYUKI. Texture is not a trend. It’s identity, and when finished well, it’s pure luxury.

At MIYUKI: We’re a no-judgment, pro-texture floor. We cut curls dry, protect coils with moisture layering.

7) Color Accents That Spark Conversations

Two statements stood out. Taraji P. Henson’s subtle gold streak threaded through dark hair. Kristen Stewart’s tousled bun with electric-pink dipped ends. Strategic, not shouty. If you’ve been bored of “safe” hair, try a smart accent rather than a full overhaul.

At MIYUKI: Ask for a custom streak in a zone that reveals only during movement. We’ll map it to your part, cut, and lifestyle so it never looks random.

The Slightly Spicy Take

The middle part era needed a time-out. Side parts brought back polish and cheekbone drama.

Blonde isn’t the headline. Healthy blonde is. Bella’s glow comes from tone control and gloss, not just going lighter.

Extensions sat in the back seat. Texture and structure took the wheel. That tells you where luxury hair is headed this year.


How to Translate These Looks to Mumbai Life

Humidity-proof sleekness: We prep with anti-humidity primers and root-control sprays, then finish with a fine atomized shine mist so you glow under Powai’s monsoon skies, not melt.

Work-to-party hair: Slick bun at 10 am. Drop to a low pony at 7 pm. We’ll place the elastic and hide a tiny pin so you can switch looks without redoing makeup.

Realistic blonde plans: We test strand integrity first. Then we move in steps: soft face lights, partial highlights, full dimension. Each step ends with a gloss so you never spend a week in “brassy phase.”

Event hair that behaves: We build architecture into your updo. You’ll feel it stay. You won’t see how.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What were the biggest hair trends at Cannes 2025?

    Side parts and asymmetric bobs, sleek buns and power ponies, glossy wet-effect texture, tonal blondes, texture-first looks like Afros and rope braids, and smart color accents.

  • Will a side part suit my face?

    Yes, with balance. On round faces, we keep the part deeper and add crown height. On long faces, we soften the sweep and keep volume lateral. We map it before cutting.

  • Can I go blonde without damage like the Bella look?

    We’ll test elasticity, then lift in stages and seal with a demi gloss. Expect a plan, not a miracle in one sitting. That’s how Bella’s color looked expensive, not scorched.

  • How do I get the wet look without looking greasy?

    Ask for layered hold. We use a light gel under a glossing serum, fix the architecture first, then mist the sheen. Irina and Cara’s finishes were structured, not soaked.

  • Do buns and ponies hold up in Mumbai humidity?

    Yes, if you prep properly and anchor invisibly. We treat flyaways at the fiber level before we shape, then set with a micro-mist that resists moisture.

  • Which looks are the most office-friendly?

    Side-part bob, low slick bun, soft face lights with a gloss, or a hidden peekaboo color panel that stays discreet until you style it up.
