CANNES, May 26 — Ukrainian makeup artist Aliona Antonova had little idea when she fled her hometown the morning of the Russian invasion that she would soon find herself among the stars at the world’s top film festival.
The next morning at 6:00am her brother woke her with the news, telling her to prepare to flee the country.Although she hated to leave her home, employees and beloved city, her quick escape to Moldova proved a wise decision given the massive queues that soon appeared at the border. Even back in Odessa she had set her sights on Cannes one day because “all stars are usually in America but it’s very far away — this is the closest place with so many stars” in one place at one time.
Since she set up shop she’s been doing a brisk business, with the protagonists of the Netflix documentaryStargazing on Cannes’s famed Croisette seaside promenade, she’s already spotted Julia Roberts and Anne Hathaway, as well as Brazilian model and actress Adriana Lima.
