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.
