For Frenchelles, the community founded by Karina Alifirova and Anna Galchinskaya, the 79th Cannes Film Festival offered far more than a backdrop. It became a stage on which a network of women could gather inside one of the world’s most iconic celebrations of cinema, fashion, and culture, and make the occasion their own.
The community spent the week among the most exclusive events on the Riviera, moving from the legendary Times House and luxury brand gatherings to private soirées and industry evenings where film, fashion, and media met on common ground.
The talents Frenchelles brought to Cannes, among them Niousha Noosh, Meldra Rosenberg, and Sawa Pontyjska, gave the week a strong sense of presence alongside the wider group.
Film remained at the centre of it all. The premieres of Gentle Monster and Diamond by Andrea Garsia drew international attention across film, fashion, and entertainment, and the red carpet atmosphere, with its flashing cameras, global creatives, and unmistakable Cannes energy, made the experience truly unforgettable.
A curated Girls Day Full of Beauty turned the festival into a celebration of women.
The defining moment of the week was the signature Frenchelles Girls Party, hosted at the legendary Hôtel Martinez, one of the most iconic destinations of the festival. There, women from around the world came together for a curated Girls Day Full of Beauty, featuring makeup sessions, networking, and a special couture showroom presented by Caviar Couture.
Set against the glamour and cinematic spirit of Cannes, the week stood as a true reflection of the Frenchelles universe, a community where ambitious, creative, and inspiring women gather to celebrate beauty, empowerment, meaningful connections, and unforgettable experiences.
Founded by Karina Alifirova and Anna Galchinskaya, Frenchelles welcomes new members throughout the year, and details on the community and its events are available at frenchelles.com.
