Cannes Film Festival 2024: Ankush Bahuguna Paints French Riviera Purple With Quirky Look

Ankush Bahuguna has become the first Indian male beauty content creator to make waves at this year's Cannes Film Festival. The influencer landed in the city on Wednesday and kicked off his Cannes debut on Thursday with Indian drama. He has shared a series of photos from her day 1 fashion diaries on her social media handle.

Here's how Ankush Bahuguna made his debut at Cannes

Ankush is known for challenging gender norms with his gender fluidity makeup tutorials. Now, he has registered a milestone in his career and is making sure to make India proud by representing his ideology in global beauty and fashion. He made sure to leave a mark on the French Riviera not just with his makeup but also with his ensemble representing India's culture and heritage with a modern twist. On the first day, he wore a purple kurta pyjama set layered with a printed shrug. The ensemble is from the shelves of Torani.

He added a matching scarf to accentuate his look. However, the highlight of his whole look was eyebrows. Usually, eyeshadow and highlighter are used to beautify the eyes and cheeks, Ankush took them a notch higher and used them on his eyebrows. He used to match purple and pink eyeshadow on the end of his eyebrows.

"Here’s to men embracing their truest selves, be it through makeup, fashion, or any kind of art. It doesn’t make you any less of a man," an excerpt from his note read.
