When it comes to summer style, we love the art of embracing natural hair and makeup looks. And when celebrities do it, we love it even more. (After all, they've got access to a small army of people who can perform total transformations in mere minutes.) That's why we totally loved Janet Jackson's recent look at Cannes. Easy, honey brown curls and sultry, smoky eyes give her a polished yet messy-chic. Here's how to get her hair:

1. Apply a curl-enhancing serum, like Redken Curvaceous Full Swirl, $21.50, to damp hair and distribute from roots to tips.
2. If your hair is naturally wavy, mist a shine serum, such as Joico K-Pak Protect and Shine Serum, $13.99, all over. If not, wrap 1-inch sections around a small barrel curling iron.
3. Once all of your hair is curled, rake through the curls using your fingers to separate and loosen them. Then, gather your hair back into a loose ponytail at the nape of your neck. Allow face-framing sections to fall naturally.
4. Finish with a light mist of hairspray (we love Moraccanoil Luminous Hairspray, $18) to complete the look.

To get her makeup look:

1. Use an eyeliner gel, such as Estee Lauder Gel Eyeliner, $23, and apply a thin line to your upper and bottom lash lines. Then, use a smudge tool to blend the liner, creating a smoky effect.
2. For glowy cheeks, apply a blush (we love Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush, $26) to the apples of the cheeks and blend up to your temples. Top it off with a light bronzing powder, such as Urban Decay Baked Bronzer, $26, to highlight and contour your face.
3. Finally, use a glossy, natural-looking lip shine, such as Fresh Sugar Lip Gloss, $18, to finish.

Film festivals are nothing if not a place to swoon over celebrities with gorgeous hair, makeup, and designer gowns. And this week's opening day at Cannes did not disappoint. Our top pick? Freida Pinto. Is this not the most beautiful, romantic updo you've seen in a long while?

Want to give it a whirl yourself? Here's how:

1. On freshly dried hair, create a deep side part.
2. Next, mist a texturizing spray all over your hair to create subtle volume.
3. Starting at your part, begin creating an inside-out French braid along your hairline. Continue braiding around the nape of your neck and up toward the other side. Try to make sure your braid stays as close to the edge of your hairline as possible.
4. Once you reach the other side, loosely braid the hair that's left. Then twist to form a messy bun and secure with bobby pins.
5.Tug on your style to loosen and shape it. Then finish by misting lightly with hairspray.

Admittedly, this isn't for you braiding novices out there. But it's so pretty, we're willing to try it anyway.
