Prioty's presence at 79th Cannes Film Festival

Like every year, the most prestigious festival of world cinema is being held in the sunny coastal city of Cannes, France. Irish actress and model Maksuda Akhter Prioty, of Bangladeshi origin, once again caught the eye among the crowd of stars from different parts of the world on the red carpet of the 79th Cannes Film Festival. Her presence on the very first day of the festival created a stir in the international fashion community. And this was her 11th walk on the Cannes red carpet — which is a special milestone in itself.

It is really difficult to confine Prioty to just one identity. She is a model, actress, pilot and mother of three children. This multi-dimensional identity has taken her to different heights.

Her journey in the international arena began in 2014, when she won the title of 'Miss Ireland'. Since then, there has been no looking back. One international recognition after another has come to her. Miss Earth Ireland, Miss Universal Royalty, UK Top Model, Irish Model of the Year—these titles are a recognition of her long struggle and talent. The example she has set of maintaining a balance between family and professionalism even in the world of glamour is a source of inspiration for many young women.

Prioty's relationship with the Cannes Film Festival is not new, but rather quite old and deep. She achieved the status of top model by beating competitors from different parts of the world in the competition organized by Integrity Magazine at the 74th Cannes Film Festival. Since then, the Cannes red carpet has become her familiar destination. She has been seen at this festival almost every year — sometimes with a new look, sometimes with a new message. This time, that journey has reached its 11th chapter.

The look that Prioty appeared in on the first day of the 79th festival easily set her apart from the others present on the red carpet. She chose a golden strapless bodycon midi dress as her outfit. The fitting of the dress was perfect and its most special feature was the fluted trumpet hemline. The ruffled hemline at the bottom added a vintage mermaid vibe to the entire outfit. Despite the minimal design, the dress was deeply glamorous—perfect for the red carpet.

However, the most talked about part of this look was her headpiece. This custom floral headpiece, handmade by Irish designer Fiona Rafter, matched the golden color of the dress beautifully. This headpiece decorated with floral designs added a royal dimension to Prioty's overall look. The combination of this accessory with her bob cut hair was eye-catching. A sparkling custom clutch bag made by the same designer also made the look more complete.

For makeup, Prioty chose a soft glam style. Maria did the entire makeup and hair styling. Her classic red lips were the most eye-catching part of the entire look. The dark red lips against the backdrop of the golden dress gave the entire outfit the ultimate perfection.

Prioty dedicated this special look to designer Fiona Rafter. This dedication is to express gratitude for the sincere cooperation with which Fiona, despite her busy professional life and personal responsibilities, created custom headpieces and clutches for Priyoti with dedication and compassion and was by her side throughout the preparation process.

All in all, Maksuda Akhter Prioty came to the center of discussion on the first day of the 79th Cannes Film Festival with glamour, confidence and a unique style statement. Prioty, who has repeatedly represented Bangladesh at this most talked about film festival in the world, is undoubtedly a special pride for the country.
