This year the 79th Cannes Film Festival welcomed Frenchelles, the community founded by Karina Alifirova and Anna Galchinskaya, into a setting that has long stood as one of the world’s great celebrations of cinema, fashion, and culture. From its first day on the Riviera, the team set out to be part of the conversation rather than a spectator to it.
The days that followed carried the community through some of the most exclusive corners of the festival. Frenchelles guests appeared at the legendary Times House, at luxury brand receptions, and at the private soirées and networking evenings where the worlds of film, fashion, and media quietly overlap.
Among the talents Frenchelles brought to Cannes were Niousha Noosh, Meldra Rosenberg, and Sawa Pontyjska, joined by others who lent the week its sense of momentum. 
A clear highlight came with the premieres of Gentle Monster and Diamond by Andrea Garsia, two cinematic occasions that pulled international attention from across film, fashion, and entertainment. Standing in the red carpet atmosphere, surrounded by flashing cameras, global creatives, and the unmistakable energy of Cannes, the team found the experience genuinely unforgettable.
The Frenchelles Girls Party at Hôtel Martinez became the heart of the week.
The signature moment arrived with the Frenchelles Girls Party, hosted at the legendary Hôtel Martinez, one of the most iconic destinations of the festival. Women travelled from around the world for a curated Girls Day Full of Beauty, complete with makeup sessions, networking, and a special couture showroom presented by Caviar Couture.
By the close of the week, surrounded by the glamour and cinematic spirit of Cannes, the experience read as a faithful portrait of the Frenchelles universe, a community where ambitious, creative, and inspiring women gather to celebrate beauty, empowerment, meaningful connections, and unforgettable experiences.
Karina Alifirova and Anna Galchinskaya continue to build that community year round, and more about Frenchelles and its gatherings can be found at frenchelles.com.
