Polina Pushkareva Instagram – What you should know before attending the first red carpet Tap-tap like ❤️ After three red carpets at film festivals, I already know how it usually goes. So these recommendations will be very helpful for beginners. 1. Keep a calm and relaxed face Don’t smile and don’t try to make a face. Photographers will shout your name and joke around. So you if you make some ridiculous face, it will get into the photo and will haunt you your entire life. Swipe left to see my funny photos from the red carpet. Enjoy 😂 2. Get ready: it’s f**kingly uncomfortable You will have to put on shoes two sizes larger or smaller, and dresses will scratch over the skin. Take an anesthetic cream to apply on your legs after the red carpet. Or even better – apply it before the event. Wear a beige bodysuit under your dress (if it is invisible) to protect your skin. 3. Always wash off your makeup and hair Usually the red carpets are held late in the evening and you get terribly tired. But in any case, wash off the makeup and hair as soon as you come home. 4. Always have a plan B You need to have a plan B for every dress, jewelry, shoes, and accessory. Any fuck-up at the festival is a wild stress. So you definitely have to have a plan B if things go wrong. 5. Take an assistant with you You have 30 seconds to take photos at the red carpet. At the same time, other celebrities with their guards will be just next to you. Everyone is pushing, photographers are shouting, you can’t get anything. And the assistant will help free up space on the carpet, guide you where you need to, fix your dress or make-up. An assistant is an investment in how you will look in the media. Do you still consider attending the carpets to be easy? Cannes La Croisette
